An Open Letter To My People

My people,

I am writing to you guys to say thank you. We've only been friends for a couple of months but you guys have been my biggest supporters and encouragers. You guys have seen the tears and the melt-downs and have been there to pick me back up if I'm laughing it's probably because one of y'all made a joke or I remember something that happened (like someone falling down the stairs). When things have felt like they were crumbling you guys were there to tell me it's gonna be okay, encourage me, hug me and shove food in my mouth.

You guys are the people I couldn't imagine my life without, we haven't been friends super long but we've definitely had some good times the short time we've been friends. You are the ones who I could call at 2:00 a.m. if something was wrong but y'all are also the ones that I can celebrate with when good grades come or good news come. When I have decisions to make whether it be what coffee to order or what kind of fish I want to get or whatever it may be you guys are there to help me with those decisions.

Even though I fight with you guys about what's best all the time I know I should listen to y'all because in some cases you guys really do know best and are helping me out. You guys are the ones I can tell my crazy dreams and life goals to and you won't make fun of me no matter how ridiculous it might be. But you will push me higher and higher and believe in me even when I don't and I'm grateful for that. And theres nothing like jamming out to disney or Les Mis when we know we should be studying. I also wouldn't trade our car jam sessions and late nights talk for the world. And when I get moody or sassy you guys know whether to threaten me with sassy juice or just to leave me alone and let me lay on the floor. I am certain whether you live upstairs or across the world, you'd drop everything and be there if I needed you.

You guys are also are going to be honest whether I want you to be or not, whether it be about that guy I like I shouldn't or when I need to get my life together or if I'm just being plain dumb. You guys are the ones who would tickle me until I pee everywhere or make me laugh until I cry and I know no matter how much I need y'all, y'all need me too. So, a huge thanks to you guys for being my people. I love you guys so much!

You guys are my people, and you always will be my people.

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.
