12 Great Things About Thanksgiving
vectips

This week, the University of Indianapolis team was asked what they do for Thanksgiving and what the best thing about Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving break is. They all had awesome answers, and these are all of the things that were said.

1. Kayla

"My favorite part is all the food. Everyone brings a different dish, and it's always amazing!"

2. Lexxie

"My favorite part is sleeping in and not having any responsibilities for a few days!"

3. Maia

"I usually get to visit with friends I only see once or twice a year. They only visit for part of the break, but it's always a fun couple of days of shopping, cooking, going to movies or sporting events, and painting / making things."

4. Bryson

"My family and I have our typical dinner at my grandparents where we talk about all the current events and make each other laugh. I will also hang out with friends I don't get to see often."

5. Elizabeth

"I love watching the parade with my family in our pajamas. We then usually move to watching the dog show after."

6. Kate

"My favorite thing is getting to watch the football games on tv with my dad and uncles. My dad and I always watch football games together, but ever since college, we haven't gotten to. I can always rely on Thanksgiving to give us that opportunity again."

7. Sydney

"We usually put our Christmas tree up on Black Friday, so that's probably my favorite part!"

8. Hallie

"My favorite part is eating a lot of food, spending time with my family, and, of course, Black Friday shopping."

9. Aly

"My favorite part is going to Ohio and spending time with my international friends who don't get to go home for break."

10. Mallory

"My favorite thing is not counting calories. I binge eat all of the food I possibly can in one sitting. Specifically the desserts."

11. Jennifer

"My favorite part is just being with family and watching football. Nothing is expected from anyone and it's always a good family-oriented holiday."

12. Alexis

"My family usually doesn't do Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving, we just go out to eat. We usually put up our Christmas tree and decor on Thanksgiving and then do the traditional Thanksgiving on Black Friday after we shop."

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.
