It's the time of year where people begin to focus on what they are thankful for and what matters most. For some this consists of family, friends, and the jobs that help afford the roof over their head and puts the food on the table. This list however, focuses on the things that college students are most thankful for which is different than the majorities list on so many levels.

1. Free Food

It could be food, puppies... literally anything

2. Nice dog-owners that let you pet their dog

Instant stress reliever, also the best feeling ever

3. Extended Due Dates

I mean as long as I can procrastinate longer... back to watching Netflix it is

4. Canceled Class

Canceled Class = more time for sleeping

5. Home Cooked Meals

After eating microwaveable food for months on end...

6. Finding money in your pants pocket or car that you didn't know you had.

The greatest surprise of all.

7. Extra Nap Time

Because your bed is the safest place you'll ever be.

8. Extra Netflix Viewing Time

Thank you Netflix, for being there when my one friend is busy.

9. Alarm Clocks

Let's face it, you'd sleep all day if it wasn't for these ear-piercing noise makers

10. Grade Curves

Saving GPA's since the beginning of time

11. Student Discounts

It's basically free, right?

12. Food Delivery

You don't even have to leave the comfort/warmth of your own home...

13. Headphones

Headphones in = don't bother me

14. Care Packages From Parents

Almost better than Christmas.

15. Data Renewal Day

Once again... Christmas comes more than once.

16. Professors Who Don't Take Attendance

Even though it's great, its a challenge...

17. Holiday Breaks

No worries... just family

18. Coming Home To Your Own Bed

No better feeling than this.

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.

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.
