Every holiday season, people talk about being thankful for big things in their life, like their families and friends. But every day is a great day to give thanks! If you're stuck thinking of things to be thankful for this year -- or any day of the year -- remember to be thankful for the little things.

1. Clean sheets

Nothing beats coming home to clean, fresh sheets that just hug you all over.

2. Taking off your makeup and washing your face

Honestly, the best part of most people's day. When your face is just so clean and you can rub your eyes without looking like a raccoon.

3. Good eyebrows

When you spend 20 minutes putting your eyebrows on and you step back to look at them and they're just these perfect little caterpillars. #BLESSED

4. The feeling you get after brushing your teeth

This is just such a good feeling. It makes you feel so clean. Like, thank you.

5. 1080p YouTube videos

YES. I need to see all of the dog videos as clear as possible so I can picture myself there with them. How can anything top crystal clear quality on videos?

6. Fast wifi

7. No wait... FAST, FREE WIFI

OK wait- this clearly beats the video quality. Fast, free wifi in public places is so amazing.

8. Crisp autumn air

How great is it to walk outside and breathe in clean, crisp air? Pretty great.

9. The smell of your favorite perfume

Bathing in the best smell ever. Great start to the day.

10. Getting warmed by the sun

When the sun gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling all over. Who needs a significant other when the sun warms me just fine and never talks back?

11. Warm paper off the printer

Yes, more warm things. This makes doing schoolwork just a little less painful.

12. Writing a paper that just fills the number of pages you need

It's so exciting when you finally reach that page goal. TAKE THAT, PROFESSOR.

13. Sweatpants that are fuzzy on the inside

Yeah, sweatpants are awesome. But when there's a fuzzy surprise inside? Sweatpants just got 100x better.

14. Perfect winged eyeliner

Just like perfect eyebrows. You know your day is going to rock when your wings could fly you somewhere else.

15. Your favorite song coming on the radio

Honestly, nothing can pump up your day more than your song coming on the radio and cheering you up (by the way, you are a rockstar).

16. Crawling into bed after a loooooooooong day


There is no feeling more satisfying than this. Don't ever take this away from me.

Happy Holidays!

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.
