An Open Letter To My Unbiological Sister
Maura Keays

I was pretty content with having one sister that was already three years older than me, but something pretty amazing happened that most sibilings wouldn't be able to say it happened to them. Having my only sibiling going off to college I didn't know what to do with myself or thought her roomatte would get along with me, but I was wrong. Three years ago I was blessed to gain not only a friend but a second sister so I want to say thank you.

Thank you for telling me how it is

Growing up with an older sister I was always told when I did something wrong or overreacted. With you I get told the honest truth without anyone sugar coating it to spare my feelings. You seem to call me on my flaws, but help me fix them at the same time. Without you I wouldn't have anyone to tell me that my impulsive decisions were stupid.

Thank you for never leaving my side

No one told you that being roommates with my sister would include having another little sister. You're always there when I need someone the most and I know I can count on you for being there through my tears, laughs, stupid moments, and my most proudest moments. From the day we met three years ago to now being on the same campus as you, nothing has changed. I can still text or call you whenever I need someone and I know you'll try your best to support me through the day.

Thank you for understanding me

You're someone who knows me better then I know myself. You usually can tell if something is bothering me or if I'm not okay. Because of this you go out of your way to turn my day into a good one.

Thank you for loving me

You didn't have to call me your sister three years ago but now I find myself telling people that I have two older sisters that would do anything for me. I couldn't be anymore thankful for you being in my life and accepting me for me. You're truly someone special in my life and I get so excited telling people that I go to school with my two older sisters. Thank you for holding my hand through the rough times and laughing at me through my stupid moments. I don't know what I'd do without you in my life! Thank you for your never ending love and becoming my sister.

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.
