Thank You To My College Family

I am so blessed to have made the friend group I did my freshman year of college. Each person serving a different role in our friend group. Without them my college experience would not have been the same. Thank you to you all for always being light hearted and being able to laugh at one another in a loving way. Thank you for never failing to make a bad day better. Without you guys we wouldn't have became better friends at the skating party. Without you guys we wouldn't have had a stake dinner in a small kitchen with smoke all around us with people wondering what we are doing. Without you guys we wouldn't have fit 10 people in a 7 person car to see a late night movie, getting free food from the Mejier gas station (They gave it too us, we didn't steal it) and to witness Steven sing every High School Musical song.

You guys are becoming my home away from home. All of you hold a place in my heart and I love you all dearly.

Thank you to Maggie, Casey and Anna for being our wise but not much older leaders/teammates. You guys are people I want to have in my life forever. You never fail to bring a smile to face. I can not wait to play softball with you guys for next three years.

Thank you Steven and Brendon for being the guys in the group. You guys are always willing to protect us no matter what. You always ask how we are and if we are having a good day you roast us. Thank you for laughing at my jokes even if they aren't super funny. Thank's for being the dads of the group.

Thank you Marybeth and Olivia for being the cutest roomates ever. You guys are some of the most gentle and nicest humans I have ever met. Thank you for always hugging me and greating me with a smile. You guys are so great. Never stop being you.

Thank you to my best friends Katie and Madison for being my partners in crime. Thank you for keeping me in check when my kinda being B******. Thank you for pushing me to be a better person and always knowing when I need a laugh. Without you I would have died already because I have way to many blonde moments for an almost 19 year old girl. Thank you for always having my back no matter what and for hyping me up on bad days. Thank you for being so kind and for being you.


Thank you to everyone for being a part of my life.

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.
