To The 3 Best Friends I Never Thought I’d Have

Freshman year wouldn't have been the same without you.

To The 3 Best Friends I Never Thought I’d Have
Anna McCraw

Julia. Kate. Sara Beth.

You three have made my freshman year of college one that I will never forget.

Through the laughter, the tears, the 3 a.m. “come to Jesus” moments, getting the scoop on each others’ boyfriends (yay! Kate is no longer the seventh wheel!), driving a combined 13 hours to be together when tragedy strikes, and obnoxious group messages, you three have made me so utterly grateful for you.

Julia,

Thank you for never changing who you are. Thank you for always reminding us to let our inner child shine. You are crazy. You are wild. You are loud. You are an amazing softball player (not better than me though). You drive me crazy when you climb all over me. You eat like no other and that’s alright, because we all do. I love walking through Walmart talking about God with you. I love that you always want to make people feel loved, even when I don’t. Thank you for screaming and not breaking promises. Thank you for allowing us to be there for you in one of the hardest moments of your life. I promise to share my food with you next year… well some of it.

Kate,

Thank you for laughing at my jokes when no one else does. Thank you for spontaneously driving eight hours to my house. You are ridiculously loud, and I don’t think you realize it. You can sing very well with your opera-y voice. You always offer to drive, even on a moments notice. You always want to go, go, go. You think ice cream has calories for some reason and I don’t understand. You always have to have the last word, and I don’t know if that’s good or bad. Thank you for always encouraging my ideas and jumping for an off campus trip. You make me smile and make me laugh and sometimes make me roll my eyes but that’s okay; it’s normal.

Sara Beth,

Thank you for having the kind heart that you do. Thank you for always uplifting everyone even when you are the one that needs to be lifted up. You are incredibly smart. You worry way too much. You eat a jar of peanut butter a week and sometimes it makes me sick to think about. You love that I love the little things in life. You bite your tongue when you want to scream. You’re the one that I can sit in the car and talk with for hours about anything and everything. You’re the one that lays on the hallway floor crying with me over our boyfriends. You are the Rory to my Lorelai, and for that, I thank you.

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.
