50 Things College Students are Thankful For
Animal Farm

Thanksgiving is more then a time to gather around the dinner table stuffing your face with turkey, apple pie, and all delicious foods that make you cringe when trying to button your pants. It is a time to give thanks and reflect on what you are thankful for. Yes, our family and friends are the mature responsible things to be thankful for, however us college kids are thankful for more than the traditional "I'm thankful for my family and friends" statement.

1. Waking up to an email that says class is cancelled

2. Going back to sleep right after reading that email

3. Free Dunkin

4. And Coffee in general

5. Netflix

6. Good music at a Frat Party

7. Throwbacks that you and your best friends belt at the top of your lungs

8. Quizlet test answers

9. Walking out of class on a Thursday knowing that its officially the weekend

10. The three day weekend

11. Puppies

12. Dominos

13. Actually, any type of pizza

14. And at any time of day/night

15. Fun classes that are easy A's

16. Ham's (not the food kind, the 30 pack that saves your bank account)

17. Naps, lets be real its the only way we survive college

18. Extensions on papers, projects, and homework

19. Professors that curve

20. Professors that let you out of class early

21. Snapchat streaks

25. Spontaneous adventures with your best friends

26. "Fam breakfast" the morning after a night out

27. Jimmy Johns

28. Any food place that delivers

29. Any food place that accepts dinning- dollar (it's as though you're not really spending money)

30. Amazon Prime

31. The dollar Store

32. Chegg

33. Classes that you don't have to buy a textbook for (even better than Chegg)

34. Ramen/ Easy Mac/ Anything that you can just add water to and microwave

35. Air conditioning

36. That really good cafe day

37. Free Tee-Shirts

38. Sweatpants

39. The person who signs you into lecture when you just don't feel like going (You the real MVP)

40. Cuddling with your roommates after a long stressful day

41. Going home for Thanksgiving

42. Home cooked meals

43. Not having to pay for laundry at home

44. And not having to do your own laundry (thanks Mom!)

45. Showering without shoes on

46. Not having to sleep in a twin XL bed

47. Seeing your friends from your hometown

48. Your family (sorry I know I said I wouldn't be basic)

49. Your friends

50. The reality that the end of the semester is nearby and you will have a month of stress free relaxation

We know we're thankful for these wonderful things all year round but have a blessed Thanksgiving!

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.
