10 Reasons To Be Thankful

1. God: Pray every single day and night. "Have you prayed about it as much as you've talked about it?" Matthew 21:22

2. Family: Who can live without family? Whether it's your mom, dad, aunt, uncle, or even your adopted family, love them unconditionally, even if they do drive you crazy sometimes. The love they have for you may be the only strength you have at many points in your life. They are who truly keep you going.

3. Friends: "F is for friends who do things together, U is for you and me, N is for anywhere at any time at all, down here in the deep blue sea," as SpongeBob SquarePants states.

4. Boyfriend/Girlfriend: Always there know matter what. They will always be a shoulder to cry on when you need them. They're the ones you can talk to about every triumph and every struggle.

5. Job: Without my job, I'm not sure what I would do with all of my free time. My boss and my co-workers are like my second family.

6. Money: Money does get you far in life, and you can't take it with you when you go. Spend it wisely on what you need, and not what you want.

7. Car: My Pontiac G6 may not be the BEST car out there, but it gets me from point A to point B without walking. P.S. I hate walking.

8. Pet: My cat, Thomas, is my world. He will always be my little baby and make me laugh, especially when he chases the mouse around the house like it's his friend. They're always there when it seems like nobody else is.

9. College: College is life! It's to start your future. It's where you meet your sorority sisters, forever love, and your future bridesmaids. Be thankful for the education you receive, as this is the final stepping stone to the real world.

10. Clothes On My Back: I may not have the "coolest" clothes, but I'm glad I have clothes on my back. "She is clothed in strength and dignity. And she laughs without fear of the future." Proverbs 31:25

Be thankful each and every day of your life. Live for what you have, and strive for the things you don't.

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.
