THANKSGIVING BREAK IS HERE! Amidst all good food and great company you'll be surrounded by during this time, if you ever find yourself with some down time and between shows, here are 5 TV shows you could begin over break.

1. Friends

This is an obvious one, but if you haven't watched it already, Thanksgiving break is a perfect time to. Not only does it have amazing Thanksgiving episodes each season, but the idea of 6 friends making their way through life together is a great way to remind ourselves that as long as we have great people around us, we can get through anything thrown our way. Also, it's just really funny.

2. Gilmore Girls

Gilmore Girls is a show full of 2000s pop-culture references and fast talking. If you like complicated relationships and quirky small towns, look no further. The people of Stars Hollow, Connecticut will captivate you without you even realizing it. If you're looking for something heartwarming to fill your spirits during the holiday season, the Lorelai Gilmores will do that and more.

3. Stranger Things

This one is a bit odd, but it's also perfect. 1. There are 17 episodes. You could so binge watch that in a week. 2. After seeing what these poor kids go through, you'll be very, very thankful you don't have a Demogorgon coming after you. 3. Even though they have no clue what's going on, the characters in this show stick together through everything. Get ready with a cozy blanket and get lost in Hawkins, Indiana.

4. The Andy Griffith Show

While I myself am in the midst of watching this show currently, I always find myself being in a better mood after watching it.

Whether it be the black and white screen or the personality and charm of Andy and Barney and Aunt Bee and Opie, this show fills my heart with happiness. Maybe if you're like me, you watched it growing up and it brings back nostalgia, which is perfect during this time of year.

5. Parenthood

Another show featuring Lauren Graham, Parenthood shows the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of being in a close-knit family (although they focus on the good). This show is realistic and captivating, and before long the character you thought you hated you end up rooting for. If you're looking for a show centered on family, the Bravermans are the family for you.

These shows are all on Netflix, so get some blankets, company, and leftover food from Thanksgiving and binge watch one of these awesome shows!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
