Have you ever noticed that when summer rolls around the entire dynamic of you and your friends group text changes? It goes from asking to meet for lunch on campus, for homework help/study buddies and the best so what's the plan this weekend to fewer and far between messages completely random, but very much needed to stay in touch. So I give you a list of all the little ways the group text changes during the summer...

DISCLAIMER: Yes these are screenshots of my friends and I's group message. Don't judge, because I bet yours looks just about the same if not even weirder haha.

1. When you take the time to text in the group message and no one responds because summer

And all I can say about this one is smh y'all.

2. Comical Twitter, Instagram or Tumblr Pictures

Because you have to have some people in your life to share all the funny stuff you find on Twitter everyday with.

3. Random updates on their life

Let's be real, the random updates on your friends' lives is the best part of the group message.

4. Having to discuss The Bachelorette via group message instead of in person

Because just texting about the show is never as good as discussing and yelling at the TV all together.

5. How much we all miss adventures through Fay Town

I mean we are missing a baby white tiger... it had to be discussed how we wanted to go back to Fay for this.

6. Already making plans for adventures next school year

It takes a long time for us to make plans, so might as well start planning now.

7. Summer Crafting Updates

If you can't show off your crafts to your friends who can you show??

8. Debating what old Disney movies are the best

What can I say? The Disney Channel movie marathon hit us all in the feels.

9. Rehashing old memories from the school year

Reminiscing on the past year is honestly what makes summer so great. You survived the past school year with some bomb memories to share and talk about again and again.

10. How much we miss each other...

Hotz = Us, enough said.

So whether your friends as as odd as mine are or even odder we can all just wait for the days when we are back together living life together, but more importantly watching "The Bachelorette" together.

This article is dedicated to my group message crew, Parker, Nat, Hailey, Sammi and Chapa.

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.
