Here it is once again, the time of the year when we gather with family and say what we're thankful for. It's the time to eat delicious and appetizing foods together and spend quality time with family or with friends because who doesn't like Friendsgiving? Everyone has something that they are grateful for and I just figured why not let you guys see what I've been thankful for this year. And as always, may you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving week.


1. Thankful for an extremely supportive family

They are the real MVP's for taking my late-night calls, not rearranging my room into a new office and sending me money when I'm almost broke. On a more serious note, my family means the world to me and I am so ever thankful for them.

2. Thankful to have a place to live in and enough money to afford meals

Looking at you dining dollars and Commons swipes I don't know what I would do without you.

3. Thankful to have a car that is functioning

In just one week two of my friends have had car problems. I'm thankful my baby is still running smoothly at 7 years old.

4. Thankful for the incredible friends I've met this past semester

This semester was the one to strengthen friendships and create new ones. I'm thankful to have great friends to surround myself with.

5. Thankful that even in loss, my family never waned and become stronger because of it

We had a few losses this year and one was the death of our precious Golden Precious. It was unexpected and very sudden but I'm thankful for the many years we had together.

6. Thankful that I get a whole week off for Thanksgiving

Yesss to no worrying about assignments until after Thanksgiving. I guess working on them the weekend before really helped. Also, the countdown begins to feasting time!

7. Thankful for THE best Thanksgiving meal

In just a few short days I will be feasting for a whole 24+ hours and not have a care in the world. All the sweet potato pie I can eat will be there for me. My mom knows how to cook and I can't wait.

8. Thankful that it finally feels like Fall

Fall brings on the cozy oversized sweaters, fluffy & thick socks, and blankets to snuggle with during the cool nights.

9. Thankful for our Golden Retriever puppy Nikolaj

Our family got this beautiful, curious, loveable boy a few months ago and I am in love. He brings such joy to our lives and I can't imagine life without him.

10. And lastly, I'm thankful to just be alive

With all the horrible things going on in the world today, I'm just grateful I can wake up and see another day.

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.
