I love Thanksgiving. It is the perfect time to share with the family and enjoy great food. For me, it is time to watch my favorite Tv shows' Thanksgiving-themed episodes. It is so funny to see all these characters to confront their families and talk about hidden secrets.

The king of Thanksgiving-themed episodes is "Friends." It gave us nine amazing stories of Thanksgiving. My favorite one is when Brad Pitt plays Will, a former classmate of Monica, Rachel and Ross. I cannot forget the episode of old Thanksgivings when we can see all of the characters younger, or the Geller Cup, or Monica with a pirate patch.

The truth is "Friends" showed thirty-three reasons to be Thankful; let me share them with you.

1. Nobody has worse Thanksgivings than Chandler. 

2. Our families are awesome. Let’s face it; after Phoebe’s family, ours is just perfect.

3. Unagi. According to Ross, no everybody gets Unagi, but it sounds helpful.

4. You can love and lose a Richard, but you always can have a better second chance, a Chandler.

5. I can make better deserts than Rachel.

6. I am smart enough to not insert my head in a raw turkey.

7. I don’t have a crazy stalker. Joey got Erika who actually believed he was Dr. Ray Ramone.

8. I don’t have a crazy crush with a monkey (I don’t have to say more).

9. I don’t have a failure love like Gunter with Rachel.

10. My best friend is not in Aruba with my ex-fiancé, like Rachel, Barry and Mindy.

11. I have seen better stripers than Danny DeVito.

12. I am not a freaky cleaner like Monica.

13. The copy guy does not lie to me saying he is Ralph Lauren (and I know what Ralph Lauren looks like).

14. I don’t have a jealous and complicate boyfriend like Ross.

15. My friends believe more in my talent than Rachel, Rose, Phoebe, Monica and Chandler in Joey.

16.  My apartment is cleaner than Cheryl’s. (Do you remember Rebecca Romijn playing an anthropologist dating Ross?)

17. None of my ex-boyfriends left in hope of winning a Nobel prize.

18. I don’t have a Janice in my life.

19. I sing better than Phoebe.

20. I don’t have a sister making porn movies using my name.

21. I know my lobster is somewhere waiting to meet me (maybe I met him already, and I did not realize it).

22. I am not in love with my best friend partner.

23. I am not dating an ex of my best friends.

24. My hair does not go crazy with humidity.

25. I am working in a research in Russia getting no results after ten years.

26. I am not the public face of Gonorrhea.

27. Dr. Green is not my father in law.

28. He said the right name on the altar.

29. I have never run away at any wedding.

30. Joanna is not my boss or my friend’s date.

31. My job does not request to wear false boobs or roller skates.

32. Either Ross or Monica would give me a message.

33. Bonnie is not dating the guy I like.

I think I am forgetting the most important reason; I must have thankful because I can watch "Friends'" Thanksgiving-themed episodes any time.

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.
