Post-Thanksgiving Thoughts

All of us know the feeling when it's almost thanksgiving break, and we

get a few days off to just spend with family and relax for the holiday.

We also all know the feeling when Thanksgiving is over, and we have to

go back to work, or to school. Here are some thoughts I know we are all

bound to be thinking right now:

Only 4 weeks until Christmas! Yay Christmas!

As soon as Thanksgiving is over, I am ready to start decorating for

Christmas. I start listening to the Christmas music playlists on

Spotify, I start bugging my mom to go get our Christmas tree. I am in

full Christmas mood.

Who has leftover Thanksgiving dinner I can eat?

Just because I'm in full Christmas mood after Thanksgiving does not mean

I'm over the food. Thanksgiving food is by far one of the best food

categories. Give me all of the stuffing, all of the mashed potatoes, all

of the desserts.

Wait, but does my family really have to leave?

Thanksgiving break being over means that my entire family has to leave

and go back home. My brother goes back to Boston, my sister and her

fiancé go back to Connecticut, my cousins go back to Chicago, and

Buffalo, and all over the country, and I'm left being depressed until

they all come back.

Wow the semester is almost over-I can't wait!

When I go back to school after thanksgiving break and realize I only

have two weeks left of classes, I just start to count down the days

until Christmas break is here (because it's really not that far away

when you take the time to count).

Wow the semester is almost over-I have so much to do before the semester is over.

After the excitement for Christmas break sets in, the panic of how many

papers I have to write, how many projects I have to work on, and how

many tests I have to take sets in real quick. Yes, I may only have two

weeks left, but those two weeks are about to be the most stressful two

weeks ever.

On a serious note, I am so sad that Thanksgiving (one of my favorite holidays because of the family, and of course the food) is over, but I'm excited for the Christmas season to begin!

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.
