As the wonderful holiday of Thanksgiving comes up this week, we should all take a minute and reflect on some of the things we have to be thankful for this year.

1. Family

No matter what, your family is always there for you. You didn’t pick them and they didn’t pick you, but you’re stuck together and you love each other no matter what.

2. Dogs

Everyone can agree that dogs are life’s gift to us. They love us unconditionally and are always there to be man’s best friend, so this Thanksgiving, remember to give your dog a little holiday treat.

3. Joe Biden Memes

They are all over the internet right now and they are hilarious. If you don’t think these are funny, I question whether you’re a robot or have no soul.

4. Kermit and Dark Kermit Memes

Also all over the internet, also hilarious.

5. Coffee

It’s your everyday pick me up and you may sometimes wonder how you could live without it.

6. Bees

Yeah, you better be thankful for the bees because they provide us with a lot of the stuff that we consume, including coffee. #BringBacktheBees

7. Friends

Can’t forget about these guys, no matter what they can always manage to bring a smile to your face, or provide you with some much-needed company or advice.

8. Netflix

No matter whose account you use, it provides you with hours of entertainment and besides, how else are you supposed to binge watch your favorite show?


9. Emojis

How can we not be thankful for these little guys? They give us the ability to express emotions and thoughts without having to type the word out, because who would want to have to do that?

10. The food

Of course, we have to be thankful for this, no matter how you celebrate, who you celebrate with, or what you eat, you’re lucky to have it, not everyone does.

11. Yourself

Take a minute to be thankful for who you are. It took a lot of hard work to get where you are today, so be thankful that you are you.

Happy Thanksgiving!

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.
