I'm Different Because of you.

I'm Different Because of you.

Caitie,

I know our tradition calls for a letter on Friday (Big/Little Reveal), but I thought this would tell the whole world about us.

One year ago, you became my best friend. Yes, Delta Zeta made you my sister. Emily made you my Twin. But, Caitie Carr, you made me your best friend. One whole year of laughter, tears, screaming inappropriate rap songs, laying on the floor until "it's fine" was really how we felt, and so so many chickfila dates.

It's so strange that I haven't known you my whole life. You know me better than I know myself. Having a friend like you had bettered me in so many ways. For instance, I love UAH because of you. Remember the girl that rolled her eyes at every event that was held? Nowadays, I stand by your side, I participate and even have fun. Yeah, okay. I still don't sing along to the UAH fight song, but I did hum along the other day. You believe that I can accomplish all the things I put my mind to. The support you show me is incredible. It's like having my own little cheerleader. You show me kindness every. single. day. From buying a futon to put in your room so I can nap, to letting Michael become the triplet in the Fam, to buying me chickfila because I'm poor. You take care of me. You've helped me let go of ghosts, you've taught me to be brave, you have changed me.

I know that you are not just a Delta Zeta sister to me. You are not just my friend. You are going to be my life long friend, and I am so happy to know you'll be with me when I start making big steps in my life. Thank you for fighting me, bettering me, feeding me, sharing a beautiful Big with me, and accomplishing dreams with me. By the end of this week, we will have Little ones, but don't worry. We'll help each other raise them up. We'll teach (force) them to love each other. I mean, you and I are certainly not going to stop being together constantly. We have to let the Littles know about our big plans of being Dalmation Plantation owners. I think they'll be into it. I love you so much and I hope this makes you smile. You and I will always be Leslie Knope and Ann Perkins.

You're a "good one", Cait.

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.
