8 Things College Students Think About Over Thanksgiving
Marcus Quigmire

The glorious time has come upon the college population of America... THANKSGIVING BREAK! This means tons of homemade food, sleeping in your own bed, seeing family, and the glorious side affects of a turkey coma. However, lingering in the back of most students' minds is the horror and the terror coming in a few weeks: finals. The moment you step back on campus after break, the stress of the last few weeks of school and finals enter your mind. If you're anything like me, you've already started slightly stressing about finals and other things school related. Here are some of the thoughts I have around Thanksgiving break...

1. Ugh, I wish I could eat Thanksgiving food for the rest of my life.

Thanksgiving food is the best holiday food, period. Unfortunately, the caf at my school does not offer Thanksgiving food year-round.

2. I bought so much stuff on Black Friday! But wait now I'm broke...

Yes the deals are great and enticing, but your bank account doesn't care what day it is. It speaks the truth.

3. When break was supposed to be relaxing but you're running around trying to see your whole family.

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing all of my family members. But there's only so many hours in a day, ya know?

4. Realizing how great having your own bathroom is.

If only your room at college had a bathroom in it...

5. When you love being home but miss all your friends from school.

Even though you spend the majority of your time with them, days apart feel like years.

6. I'm bored...

7. Break = binge-watching Netflix

One season a day? Challenge accepted.

8. I love not doing school! But wait finals...

Eats more turkey to forget about finals...

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.
