9 Things You're Bound To Experience During Thanksgiving Break
Washington post

Thanksgiving. While a full meal and gathering around the dinner table are to be expected, here are some things you are also bound to encounter.

1. Football

Football is a big Thanksgiving tradition, because who doesn't want to watch people exercise while stuffing their face?

2. Bloated Stomach

If you are doing Thanksgiving right, this will happen to you. Cooking and enjoying a full meal is what most people think of when they think about Thanksgiving. So, you might as well live it up to the fullest.

3. Turkey

Smoked turkey, roasted turkey, whatever kind it is, turkey better be there. Turkey plays a significant part of the becoming bloated process.

4. Sleep

If you're a college student, Thanksgiving will seem like you first big break from everything school-related and getting to eat a real meal. While procrastinating writing papers and getting ahead of studying for finals in the next couple weeks, sleeping in and not having to worry about going to class for a few days will truly be a blessing.

5. Crazy Relatives

We all have at least one. We love them dearly and they will also probably provide 50 percent of the entertainment on Thanksgiving Day.

6. Peak of Fall Clothes

Fall is in full swing during the time of Thanksgiving, when most of the leaves have and are still falling, and boots become a daily necessity.

7. Shop

Following Thanksgiving is Black Friday. The biggest shopping day of the year, some tend to avoid it, but most people get their Christmas shopping done during Thanksgiving because of this. And who could resist the temptation of fall clothes with great prices?

8. Shop on Amazon (more than usual)

Again, Christmas shopping is in full swing and Amazon is perfect for it. As well as treating yourself with another, probably unnecessary, Christmas decoration.

9. The Beginning of the Christmas Season

YESSS CHRISTMAS. Real talk…unless you're the Grinch, Christmas is probably one of your favorite times of year, and now that Thanksgiving has passed, it’ll be time to start celebrating.

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.
