25 Things To Be Thankful For This November
tumblr

October has come and gone, Halloween (or Halloweekend) is over and the time to get in the holiday spirit has finally arrived! While many of you will begin to listen to Christmas music now and start drinking peppermint mochas, it's important not to forget about one of the most important holidays of all: Thanksgiving. Even though this is the beginning of November, there is no better time than now to think about what we can be thankful for.

This November, here are 25 things to be thankful for:

1. Starbucks

2. Pumpkin Pie

3. The Thanksgiving feast itself (cause come on, who doesn't appreciate a good ole' American feasting)

4. Fall leaves (if you don't live in Arizona)

5. Lulu Lemons (you're welcome boys)

6. Sweaters, sweatshirts, spirit jerseys, and all things comfy to wear in the fall

7. BOOTS!

8. The fact that you can almost listen to Christmas music (and have it be socially acceptable)

9. College football

10. Blanket scarves...or really any scarf

11. Cuddle weather

12. Netflix (this is a biggie)

13. The fact that you get school off on Thanksgiving (and if you're lucky you actually have a Thanksgiving break)

14. The fact that you have work off for Thanksgiving (and if you don't, I'm truly sorry and thankful for people like you who keep their businesses open for us)

15. The smell of pine cones (especially from craft stores - seriously what's in that stuff?)

16. Kate Spade

17. Nordstrom

18. Black Friday sales (or the fact that you're sleeping through Black Friday while your mom shops for Christmas)

19. Apple cider

20. The fact that it's almost Christmas (AHHHH!)

21. Ugly Christmas Sweaters

22. Fireplaces

23. Your sorority sisters/fraternity brothers

24. Your organization itself (think of all the amazing things that have come from being a part of something that is bigger than yourself)

25. All your amazing friends, family, and loved ones (because this is what Thanksgiving is really about; being thankful for the people who influence you and care about you. If you have any one that is special to you, you are truly a lucky person)


Even though you can be thankful for many silly, material things, we know that material good are not what's really important in life. Take this time of year to see what you've been blessed with and to be thankful for those blessings. Happy (early) Thanksgiving!

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.
