Thanksgiving is an amazing time of year! You get to see all the friends and family you've missed while away at school and enjoy an awesome meal with them. But now that you're an "adult," it's your responsibility to bring a dish to the table. If you're not very good at cooking (or just broke like me) here are 4 quick, easy, and cheap dessert recipes that'll convince your family that you've got this adult thing all figured out.

1. Dump Cake

One of my all-time favorite desserts ever, this chocolate-cherry dump cake only needs 3 ingredients, and you literally only dump all of them together! And if you're not such a fan of chocolate or cherries, you can use any flavor of cake mix and any type of fruit pie filling you want (vanilla-apple is my second favorite.)

2. Fudge

Making fudge is usually one of my Christmas staples, but it tastes great any time of year. And there are only 3 ingredients in each of these recipes as well! Whether you're craving chocolate, cookies & cream, peanut butter, or dulce de leche, you can't go wrong with how easy it is to make!

3. Banana Pudding

I don't know about you, but my family goes nuts at the mention of banana pudding. And while it's not a traditional Thanksgiving dessert, I guarantee this southern staple will be a hit!

4. Oreo Truffles

Who doesn't love Oreos and chocolate? These decadent treats are always amazing, and will definitely make everyone think you have your life together!

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.
