To The People I Do Not Thank Enough
Amanda Poussard

This is dedicated to everyone who has helped me grow into the person that I am today. I know I do not thank you guys nearly enough. I love all of you.

To My Sister

Thank you for being the biggest pain in the butt I have ever met. But thank you for much more than that too. Thank you for using up half (or more than half usually) of mom and dad’s time so that I could become more independent. Thank you for needing me so that I felt like an important influence in your life. But even more thank you for being my best friend. Thank you for sharng your secrets and for keeping mine. Thank you for hanging out when no one is around. And most of all thank you for loving me always.

To My Mom

Thank you for sacrificing so much for me. Thank you for kissing my boo-boos and for calming me when I had nightmares. Thank you for teaching me right from wrong and pushing me to achieve great things. Thank you for making me the person that I am because without you teaching me I wouldn’t be where I am.

To My Daddy

Thank you for making me the definition of “daddy’s little girl”. Thank you for teaching me not to take things so seriously and that being a goofball is a good thing. Thank you for keeping me smiling (if I’m not already rolling my eyes). Thank you for teaching me to have fun and for all of the “don’t tell mom” moments.

To My Boyfriend

Unlike my family who has to love me, you choose to (for some reason). Thank you for that. Thank you for dealing with me when I am being difficult. Thank you for dealing with the tears. Thank you for dealing with me when I am in crazy goofy moods and thank you for sharing so many smiles with me.

To My Friends

Thank you for also choosing to love me, or like me, or probably just tolerating me. Thank you to most of my friends for being there since elementary school and for still deciding to be my friends. Thank you for being there when I’ve needed it most. And most of all thank you for all of the memories.

I love you all!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
