A Thank You To My Computer

Thank you for being everything I'm not.

A Thank You To My Computer
worldtvpc.com

We don't realize how much we need our computer until it no longer works. Those times when we drop it and the screen shatters. Our entire school life is on a computer. All the way back in the 2nd grade, we have been saving work on a computer, maybe not the same one, but we have. We use it for everything, homework, personal use, communication, and even Netflix. So here is a huge shout out to my little surface pro 3.

Thank you for always being there when I needed to just surf Youtube of cat videos until I was happy again. I really needed you then because funny cat videos truly solve life's problems. I don't even really like cats. Or just for always being there when I needed to know that Vera Bradley was having a new sale (this was a bad thing and a good thing don't get me wrong).

I can't believe you can store all my papers, projects, pictures, and still keep my bookmarks. I don't know how you do it, but thank you. Sometimes we just need to go back and look over our work. Or maybe I didn't hit the submit button and I have to find the paper. Thank you for letting me create folders so I know where to look. You help me stay organized, well at least better organized.

How can I forget. Thank your for being a baby DJ for me. You never judge me for my music. I could listen to classical one second, and go to rap within the next 3 minutes. Thank you for letting me download 3 different music apps to you. I never know what one I'm going to use, even though I always choose Spotify.

Lastly, thank you for answering almost all the questions I have. Those homework questions I could never find in the text but you could find me the answer. It is crazy to think you have that much information. Thank you for answering the stupidest questions my friends and I could come up with. Yes people, this was before siri.

So to wrap this up, thank you computer for being everything someone needs in high school and college. You really are an amazing and expensive thing. Keep up the good work. I really appreciate all you have done and will continue to do for me.

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.
