5 Reasons Why Every College Student Looks Forward To Thanksgiving.
vectips

After a long month of having exam after exam and pulling all nighters, every college student is ready to go home. Some college students actually haven't even been home since they were dropped off on move in day. College students are tired of having responsibilities and having to get up early for classes. All they want to do is sleep in late and have nothing to worry about. Here are 5 reasons why every college student looks forward to Thanksgiving Break:

1. Seeing their Family.

Many students have not seen their families since they moved to college. The only time they have been able to talk to their families is through FaceTime, text messages or phone calls.

2. Getting free food.

Every student becomes basically broke through out the year because all they spend their money on food, which may come to a surprise to some people. College students get tired of eating fast food all of the time and can't wait to be able to sit down and have a family meal.

3. Black Friday shopping.

Every college student wants to go shopping, but on a tight budget is hard. Black Friday gives them the opportunity to find everything they want on sale so that they do not go completely broke.

4. Sleeping in.

Most college students have early classes because they think they won't be that bad, but they soon learn that they, in fact , are. Getting up early is no fun, especially when you have to stay up late studying for exams.

5. Reuniting with their pets.

There are a few college students that are not obsessed with their pets but the ones that are can not wait to see them on Thanksgiving. Pets are so cute and are your friends for life and honestly everything they do is adorable. Especially when they run to meet you at the door when you arrive.

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.
