Stages Of Thanksgiving Break As Told By Friends

Thanksgiving break is always one of the better breaks during the school year. Although finals are rapidly approaching for students in college, it's always nice to go home and relax for a week. Here are things that college students experience during Thanksgiving break as told by Friends.

1. The feeling of finally being done with school for a week

Finally, no more homework or tests. You can finally relax and enjoy that movie you've been meaning to watch but just couldn't find the time during school.

2. Food that isn't Ramen Noodles


Ramen is the quick and easy alternative. But, a real meal made by someone other than yourself feels like it's too good to be true. Especially the Thanksgiving meal!

3. When you no longer are in class with that one person


Everyone has that one person in their class that asks way too many questions on something the professor just explained. Thanksgiving break is great for getting a break from that person for a while.

4. When your family asks you to do something

Yes mom, I would pick up my siblings from school any other day, but I'm on break!

5. Finally getting to see all of your friends


College friends are amazing because they are always around when you're at school. But when your home, your old high school friends bring back the bittersweet memories that you'd give anything to relive just one more time.

6. Looking at pictures with family and realizing all of the weight that you gained while you weren't home

All of us who are passed our freshman year know that the freshman 15 is a real thing. Now on to the sophomore 20!

7. Feeling smarter than your cousins at Thanksgiving dinner because you're in college and they aren't

How's still being in high school? College is great, thanks for asking.

8. Having to share a room with siblings when family starts arriving

When all you want to do is be comfy in your own bed but you find out that you have to share to make room for all the family.

9. Realizing that finals are 2 weeks after you return from break

Maybe I should have been studying during break?

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.
