There are times where I am so stressed out and it is difficult to remember all of the reasons I smile. With Thanksgiving passing, it is important to reflect on all the things to be thankful for. Family and friends are the most obvious things, but sometimes it is the small things that can bring me the most joy. Here are just 20 things that never fail to make me happy-

1. The first bite of food that I've been looking forward to eating all day

2. Hearing a song I haven't heard in a long time and still knowing all the lyrics

3. Waking up from a nap and not feeling groggy at all

4. Reading something that makes me laugh out loud

5. The moment when I'm talking about something and someone knows exactly what I'm saying and gets really excited

6. Having discussions about something I'm passionate about

7. Watching a cute scene on Netflix and having to rewind immediately because I want to relive watching it

8. Taylor Swift concerts

9. Getting home from school and putting on baggy sweatpants

10. Laughing until my stomach hurts and I forget why I'm even laughing

11. Listening to a song for the first time and knowing ever lyric is relevant to me life

12. Watching one video on YouTube and somehow ending up being on YouTube for hours

13. Taking a test and realizing that I know all the answers

14. Walking through the door and being greeted by a cute puppy

15. When people I don't know compliment my outfit (or really anything)

16. Getting dressed up for an event

17. Finding a cute shirt at a store and actually being able to afford it

18.The song "Remembering Sunday" by All Time Low

19. Going out to lunch with my brother when I haven't seen him in a while

20. That feeling when I'm at a concert and the lights go down and everyone starts screaming at once

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.
