11 Reasons Thanksgiving Break is the Best
Thanksgiving 2015

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you are all enjoying a little time off and being surrounded by everyone who loves you. To college kids, Thanksgiving Break is one of the best breaks. We love it for so many reasons that I might as well list them all. So, from my family to yours, I hope you have a happy and safe Thanksgiving this year and please enjoy the many reasons we kids love Thanksgiving.

11 Reasons Why Thanksgiving Break is the Best

  1. You are in the homestretch! After you come back there is only like 2 more weeks of classes. And then you're DONE. You can throw that psychology book away!
  2. You don't have to pack up, but it is not too short. We are usually off for 5-7 days for Thanksgiving. Which means it is not like the summer where we have to pack everything up, but it is also not like fall break where we only get 2 days. It is just a nice period of time.
  3. Your family! Who doesn't like seeing there family?? Especially when all of them come to your house including your crazy uncles!
  4. The next break is Christmas! Again, you are in the homestretch! In less than a month you're off for a month!
  5. Macy’s Day Parade. A family tradition at my house.
  6. Black Friday Shopping. Can't live with it, can't live without it.
  7. You can pick up a couple extra shifts for the holidays while you’re home. Like mentioned before it is a decent amount of time where you can even work and make some extra money! Like I said Black Friday is craaaazzzzzyyy!
  8. Friends’ break is the same. Some breaks can be a different time depending on the college you go to, but you can't move Thanksgiving. Which means that you will most likely be able to see all of your bffs.
  9. The atmosphere. Everyone is happy. Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful. No stress or presents or pressure. Just being to getting is enough.
  10. THE FOOD! Saving the best for last! Who else is excited for turkey, rolls, mashed potatoes, olives, stuffing, gravy, pie, etc, etc, etc???
  11. The Leftovers!!! Ok, I saved the real best for last. Although I like all of the foods above the first time around, I really love when we have them for supper and also having stuffing and mashed potatoes for breakfast the next day!!!

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.
