Actually, Your College CA CAN Be Your Friend, Too

CA's aren't there to just do room checks,

Actually, Your College CA CAN Be Your Friend, Too

As my first semester as a college freshman comes to an end, I would like to take the time to thank one of my CA's.

Coming into college, I was always told to hide everything from my CA's and not to try and get to know them. I was taught that your CA was there to catch you doing things you weren't supposed to. They were the monitors to take away the fun you were supposed to be having in college.

The truth is, you can have a lot of fun with your CA, and they truly don't want to do all the paperwork, so they don't want to catch you doing things you shouldn't be.

My CA's are people that I have become very close with in college. I know that I can go to them with anything and always talk to them. One CA, in particular, I have become very close with. We are good friends and consider each other family.

Lexi is there to tolerate my crazy, have many laughs with me, and pick me up from the airport on my way back from my trips home. Not to mention she is always up for late night food adventures when needed.

She is the friend that will help you with your homework and the friend that will distract you from that same homework...

Lexi's family has been my family when I am in college and even when I go home to New York. They are always there for phone calls and visits when I need them.

If I didn't take the step of ignoring the things I was told about CA's before I got to college, I would never have built these relationships.

So, Lexi, thank you for being there for me no matter what. Thank you for distracting me from my homework. Thank you for going with me in late night food adventures, and thank you for being my family.

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.
