30 Days of Thanks

We've all seen the Instagram photo challenges for giving thanks, but I decided to make us a list of 30 things to be thankful for. We shouldn't do this just through November, but we should all be grateful for these things every single month ( and day for that matter).

  1. Life- Whether its yours or someone else's (spouse, kids, bf/gf).
  2. Family- You'll always have someone to see everyday or talk to occasionally.
  3. Home- Whether it's temporary or forever, you have somewhere to go.
  4. Nature- I'd go crazy without my monthly mountain trip.
  5. Faith- Faith allows you to believe in something that you can not see- we all need that.
  6. Memories- Eventually they're all we have left.
  7. Pets- They're our furry family members.
  8. Tradition- That's something we have to look forward to that’s like a sin to break.
  9. Dessert- WHO ISN'T THANKFUL FOR DESSERT?!
  10. Color- Just that one favorite color makes you happy every time you see it.
  11. Music- Without it the world would be silent.
  12. Love- It gives you that weird warm and fuzzy feeling.
  13. Travel- How else could we see the surrounding beauty of our world for ourselves?
  14. Friends- They know what's going on with you with just one look.
  15. Teachers- They didn't just give us tests, but they became our friends and family.
  16. Weekends- We all need a time to breathe and relax.
  17. Veterans- Without them our country wouldn't be where it is today.
  18. Community- Your community is your big happy extended family.
  19. Trials- They suck, but we learn huge life lessons from them.
  20. Technology- Our world has flourished in discoveries with it.
  21. Talent- We should honestly thank God every day for our talents He has given us.
  22. Food- Like seriously how could we not be thankful for food? Its amazing and keeps us alive.
  23. Charities- While we are with our families, they are helping the helpless.
  24. Photos- They hold our most precious memories at a stand still.
  25. Kindness- One act and it changes everyone's day.
  26. Transportation- We couldn't go far without it.
  27. Sports- Baseball, Volleyball, Football, etc. They make you happy.
  28. Sunshine- Sunshine makes me the happiest especially when you can feel it warm up your soul.
  29. The sound of rain- I just saw you smile. It's my favorite sound too. Let it soothe you.
  30. Tomorrow- It's not promised, but you're thankful when you wake up every morning.

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.
