The Girl That Has Been My Friend The Longest, Thank You
Madison Wade

S,

266.0 mi away. 266.0 minutes of facetimes and screenshots. 266.0 "bye I love you's". 266.0 plans for the future that we imagine
for ourselves, but in a way that feels like a trailer to a movie I'm dying to see. You see my dearest friend, you are
the type of person that I can lose contact with for days or even months at a time and when we reconnect, things pick up right where they left off. You see, we don't have to be in constant contact to ensure that this could very well relationship last forever. We don't need Snapchat streaks or nightly FaceTime calls. What we have is, constant Instagram likes and comments like
"wifey" or "that's my best friend," or even memes sent back and forth, to give both of us the reassurance that we are...
I'm not sure how else to say this but, endgame. I realized this the night that you FaceTimed me after both of us had just gotten back to our dorm rooms after a night out making questionable but memorable decisions. We sat and talked for an hour.
An hour filled with catch ups and eating whatever we can find at that moment.

You are beautiful, courageous, strong and independent. One of the smartest and kindest people I know. You are sensitive
and willing to pretend that you can't be hurt. We go together well like Mac & Cheese because we aren't obsessed
with each other 24/7 and we give each other the space we need; and I love you for that and all that is in your big heart.
I would take a bullet for you, well in the shoulder... okay let's just say grazed by a bullet or even pricked in the finger with a needle, we can discuss the details later. I am so grateful for your college friends, as jealous as I am. I am beyond happy
that they are taking care of you.

When we met almost 7 years ago and you told me that I was your friend now and I am not going anywhere. I was scared but
here I am, 7 years later with the date of the beginning of our "relationship" and your initials in my Instagram bio. You're amazing
and you deserve the whole world and some, I can't wait for you to take it. Thank you for being you, you're 10/10
would recommend.

Thank you for being a friend,

M

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.
