Halloween is over and November is in full swing! There are so many things to love about November, so here are a few!

1. Turkey Day!!

This one is a no-brainer, but now that it's November, all I can think about is FOOD, FOOD, FOOD!

2. November = A Break From School

Midterms are behind us and there's still enough time until finals so we can kick back and enjoy some time off for school!

3. Cold Weather, finally!

We've had some intermittent cold weather, but once November rolls around, we know the cold is here to stay (for a while)!

4. Family time!

November means we get to spend some quality time at home with ones we love, and there is nothing sweeter than that!

5. Black Friday!

Ok, so our wallets may not love this day, but what's more fun than an American "holiday" dedicated to waiting in line at 2 am just to get a discounted TV?

6. You have an excuse to break your "diet".

Ok, maybe not everyone uses this time to break this healthy eating habits & not feel guilty, but I do and it is the best thing ever! I really could still eat healthy on the week of Thanksgiving, but why mess with what's not broken; better yet, what's perfect?

7. Food Coma Naps.

It hurts so bad, yet feels so good. I regret nothing!

8. Thanksgiving Football!

I'm a die-hard Cowboys fan, so Thanksgiving Day is the best because I get to stuff my face and watch my boys play, all at the same time! Plus, I'm not the one making the food (yet), so I reap all the benefits.

9. Dessert, dessert, and more dessert

This is the one time a year that it is socially acceptable to have 3 rounds of dessert; and by 3 rounds I mean: a plate full of apple pie, pumpkin pie, brownies, and ice cream 3 separate times.

10. You're reminded of all the things to be grateful for!

November is a great time to feel thankful for everything you've been given & take time to appreciate the people in your life!

11. November means 1 month until CHRISTMAS!

Not like Christmas time is my favorite time of year or anything...

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.
