11 Things To Be Thankful For
Happy Thanksgiving Images

Just a few more days until we gather around the large table with family and loved ones and begin to dig into one of the largest feasts of the year. I, for one, cannot wait to go home and see not only my intermediate family, but also my extended family. During this time, we all reflect on our lives and find things to be thankful for. I can truly say that I am thankful for a lot that I have in my life. Here is a list of 11 thing I am most thankful for this Thanksgiving:

1. Mom and Dad

Not only am I thankful that I have both parent figures in my life, but I am grateful that my parents love me no matter what. They always support me and have raised me to be the young adult I am today.

2. Siblings

Even though we all get on each others nerves, I would not ask for anyone else to grow up with and have as friends!

3. Family

Like I said, I am not only thankful for my intermediate family, but also for my extended family. I am thankful that we can all get together over holidays and spend them together.

4. My Boyfriend

You are probably the only good thing that came out of the year 2016. I am so happy to have you apart of my life and always being so supportive! You are the best!

5. Friends

I am thankful for all my friends. You all constantly pick me up and know how to have a great time. I am so happy to have met each and every one of you.

6. My Dog and Cat

What is better than friends? Furry ones of course!

7. Education

I am thankful everyday that I am furthering my education by being able to attend a university that I love and feel at home.

8. Travel

I am thankful for being able to visit different and beautiful places.

9. Hobbies

I am grateful that I am able to express my love for writing by expressing myself on such an incredible platform. I am also grateful for being able to let loose and go country line dancing with some wonderful ladies!

10. Music

Not only to listen to my favorite music (Country to Rock) but also being able to attend live events.

11. To Wake Up Every Morning

Tomorrow is a new day! Give Thanks!

AI music threatens 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.
