Thank You Mom And Dad

Thank you, Mom and Dad, for always believing in me. You have always been my biggest supporters, and I don't think I've thanked you enough for it. So, thank you. Since I was little, you both have always pushed me to do my best and told me that I can do whatever I want as long as I work at it. You've never given up on me even when I've been difficult, and I appreciate it.

Dad, thank you for being my best friend. Ever since I was a little, I've always been "Daddy's little girl." You and I are so alike that anyone can guess that I'm your daughter. You might not have realized this before, but our "father-daughter" day each August means the world to me. I look forward to that day every year because it's just a day for the two of us. Even when I'm older and in my late 20's, I'm going to make sure that we still have that day, because it's that special to me. I enjoy watching TV shows with you that make us both laugh our heads off and make Mom roll her eyes at us. I might frustrate you sometimes and you might frustrate me, but I always know that you will always be there whenever I need you.

Mom, thank you for always checking in on me. I can always count on a phone call or a text message from you, and I appreciate every single one. I know I haven't told you this before, but I do look forward to the days that you and I go scrap-booking, because it's something that I can do with you that I can't do with Dad or anyone else. It's truly something special for just you and I. Like a lot of moms and daughters, we may disagree a lot, but that's what makes us, us. I know that I don't tell you that I love you enough and I'm sorry. I love you, and I hope you don't think otherwise.

You both supported me in my decision of college and major. Despite my major being unique, you both never questioned it, especially when I decided to double major. I'm the way I am today because of the way that you raised me and influenced me throughout my life. Thank you for that. You both came to every school event that you could, and it meant the world to me to know that you were there. I can honestly say that I have two wonderful parents. You always have my back, and I know that I can come to you with anything.

So thank you, Mom and Dad, for everything you do and know that I appreciate every part of it. I love you both.

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.
