To My Bestie, The Sister I Never Had

Thanks for dealing with me (and my constant snoring).

To My Bestie, The Sister I Never Had
Catherine Krolikowski

To my best friend:

Thank you for dealing with me. No really, I mean it. I am so grateful that you deal with all my drama, complaining, and drunk crying. I'm sad that it took me 18 years to meet you, but then again, I'm sort of happy because you seemed like a weird kid. Even though we live very far away from each other, I just wanted you to know I appreciate you and here 10 the reasons why:

1. My problems become your problems.

Thanks for being more mad at the boys who hurt me than I actually was.

2. You force me to actually go to the library and study.

...even though we end up talking half the time anyway.

3. Spending time with you is always fun.

Hanging out with you can either mean going on city adventures or binge watching our favorite TV shows for five hours.

4. You are my constant hype man/wing man.

Please help me find a rich doctor husband when you are in medical school.

5. You believe in me more than I believe in myself.

Especially when it comes to my grades.

6. Our closets and makeup collections have become one.

And you still let me borrow your clothes even though I might have destroyed that red shirt.

7. Our FaceTime calls at 2 a.m.

And you don't get annoyed with how needy I am.

8. You tell me when I'm being an idiot and you help me be a better person.

Thanks for stopping me from making all those bad decisions... and not yelling at me when I made some anyways.

9. You buy me snacks.

This is actually the only reason why I survived finals week...and how I gained my freshman 15.

10. And most importantly, you love me despite me weird habits

...and my constant snoring (so sorry).

You are like the sister I never had, and I'm convinced my family loves you more than they love me--but then again, that is why you are my best friend.

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.
