To My Younger Sisters

I wouldn't trade the world for the bond we have.

To my younger sisters,

I never believed people when they said: "I promise y'all will get so close when you get older." Honestly, I don't think any of us did consider we would fight over the way one of us was breathing, sitting, or looking at one another. I am going to be honest- we hated each other. Well, we hated each other for like 10 minutes. Swearing we were never going to talk to each other and that we wished we were never sisters, but making up 5 minutes after arguing.

Never forget fighting over who got the front seat, who got the aux, or "Why are you wearing my shirt without asking???" It's kinda funny looking at all of the things we fight about daily because ultimately I think it's what made us closer.

I wouldn't trade the bond we have for the world. I seriously don't now what I would do without y'all. While I may be someone y'all look up to, just know you both have been 2 of the biggest blessings in my life. I look at your accomplishments and attitudes and it inspires me more and more each day. You'll never know how thankful I am that God made us sisters.

I hope you both learn from my mistakes but follow your own dreams. You don't have to follow every step I take. Make your own decisions and live your life confidently. Just know no matter what I will always be there for you and support you every step of the way. I wouldn't want to go through life with anyone else.

We have each other to lean on, face our fears and problems with, and even have each other to laugh with. Nothing beats our inside jokes and memories we have with each other.

College has taught me more life lessons than I could ever imagine. One of those being never to take your family for granted. They will always be your biggest support system. No matter what life throws your way or where it takes you, they will always be by your side supporting you. That being said, I hope y'all realize how much I appreciate both of you and know that even though it's just 80 miles down the road I know it seems like a lifetime away. I am only one phone call away, always.

'I thank my God every time I remember you' (Philippians 1:3).

With love,

Your Big Sister

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

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.
