It's almost that time, for college campuses to go quiet and the students to go home! Happy Thanksgiving!

1. I cannot wait to eat yummy thanksgiving food, I hate dining hall food

Yes, you miss your family and want to hang out with your friends but your number one priority is getting some good food.


2. Why are my professors giving us so much work, don't they know Thanksgiving is next week?

Some professors cancel classes for all of Thanksgiving week, others have an exam and project due that week. There is no in-between.

3. So if Thanksgiving is on a Thursday and classes are canceled Wednesday, I can go home on Monday or do I have to wait until Tuesday

*Calls mom* "All of my friends are coming home the Monday before so I should too right?"


4. Why don't I just go home the Friday before, I'm missing class either way...

Unless there is an exam or something due, there is no point in going to classes considering I probably won't do anything I can't do from my computer at home. If they do, do something in class I'm sure I can get the notes from a friend.

5. I should bring home lots of laundry since mom will do it and its free!

$1.25 a load can get expensive, so why pay for laundry if you're going home anyways?


6. I love my bed is much....can I bring it back to school with me?

Nothing compares to your comfy bed at home, no matter how many mattress pads and toppers you get, it's just not the same.


7. Can we make extra food so I can bring some back to school with me?

Did I mention how much I really hate dining hall food? I really, really hate it so please make extra of everything so I can survive until Christmas break!



8. I'm showering....without shoes on..... this is weird!

My feet can finally get cleaned, this is the weirdest feeling ever, god I hate showering at school!



9. Wait....my mom just told me I had to be home by 11.....I hate being home.

Going from no parental supervision to having a curfew is weird! At school I can go wherever, whenever with whoever I want. Being home is annoying because you have to tell your parents where you're going, who you're going with, for how long you're going, and you have to let them know if plans change!


10. Can I go back to college but not have any work?

I love my friends, living on my own, and some of the classes, but college would just be 100X better without any of the work!

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.
