November is the month that many people forget about. We go from the excitement of Halloween to Christmas mode in 5 seconds. We tend to overlook the great holiday that is in November, a holiday that is so special and important. Thanksgiving is the holiday where we get to spend time with our family and friends as we reflect on the things that we are thankful for. Here are several things that I am thankful for this Thanksgiving.


1. I am thankful for my family and the love and support that they give me

I would not be able to get through life without their love. We may not always get along but I know that they will always be there. Family is family and we will always love each other!

2. I am thankful for my two older sisters

They are both my rock. They always know how to cheer me up and how to make me laugh when I am having a bad day. The ties between sisters are unbreakable and I am so thankful for them.

3. I am thankful for my wonderful boyfriend

He goes to the end of the earth to make sure that I am happy and have the things I need. He believes and supports my dreams and pushes me to achieve them. Best of all, he loves me for who I am.

4. I am thankful for my friends

I may not have a lot, but the ones I have are the best. I may not see them all of the time, but we are always there to support and love each other.

5. I am thankful for being able to attend college

There are so many people around the world that do not have the opportunity to go to college. I am so blessed to be able to attend a good university while receiving a great education.

6. I am thankful for my job

Juggling school work, my job and club activities can be challenging, but I am so grateful for having a job. I am able to work during school so I can start to save for the future.

7. I am thankful to be going home for Thanksgiving

I am so excited to go home and spend the holiday with the people that mean the most to me. Many people do not get to see their family on the holidays, but I am so grateful that I get to do so.

8. I may not have the perfect life, but I am thankful for the one I have

I know that the obstacles that I have gone through are just shaping me into the person that I am supposed to be. I am thankful for being able to get up every day and work toward making myself a better person.

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.
