5 Questions Every College Student Is Asked At Thanksgiving That We Are Tired Of Answering

1. How are classes going?

"Oh yeah... they're going GREAT!!"

What you are actually thinking...

Internally screaming about how stressed I am and then I remember that there are still 3 more weeks before my impending death by finals. It's fine, I'll pull through. Everything will actually be great once finals are over. I'll be home for a month, I won't have to do any homework. It'll be GLORIOUS.




2. Have you decided what you want to do when you graduate?

"I'm considering my options right now!"

What you are actually thinking...

No, I actually have no idea what I'll be doing but I'll figure it out eventually, hahaha... I hope. Then I remember that I'm supposed to apply for internships, I wonder when those deadlines are?.... Yikes, I really need to get my life together before they figure out I actually have no idea what I'm doing.



3. Have you been ~dating~ anyone?

"No I've been busy with school work, and other activities on campus"

What you are actually thinking...

Ugh, why does this family constantly remind me of the fact that I am single? I know that they're curious but you can check my social media and see that CLEARLY, I am not dating anyone. Like, if I was dating someone everyone would probably be aware of it in some shape or form. It just makes me wonder if they think the only reason I'm in college is to find a husband. Finding a husband would be cool but homegirl has had good grades, some extracurricular activities, and some experience so she can get a job when she graduates. I ain't got time for that.



4. When will you graduate again?

"I'll be graduating in a year and a half."

What you are actually thinking...

Well, I HOPE I graduate in a year and a half. A lot can change, I could change my major, or maybe win the lottery and not need a degree. I just want that piece of $80 thousand paper that proves I can accomplish something and then frame it in an EXPENSIVE frame so I can show it all to all of the people who walk into my future office.



5. What is your major?

"I'm majoring in ____! I'm really excited about it because it's something I really like doing!"

What you are actually thinking...

Well, I'm PRETTY sure this is my major. It's been the same for a little while now, I would hope you would remember it! That's fine if you don't remember but my major is pretty cool and even though I'm going through all of this stress. I think when I'm done something great will come out of it. This is probably one of the only questions I like answering.

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.
