Thanksgiving Dinner, as told by The Office

We all know how stressful Thanksgiving can be with crazy relatives, having to clean the house, and pretending you actually like your evil grandma. So here is Thanksgiving dinner as told by The Office.

1. When your parents announce that you are going to your relatives house for dinner


2. When you roll up to their house, trying to act like everything is fine


3. When you step through the door and the first thing they ask you about is school/grades/your major

4. And then that annoying relative of yours continues to ask you stupid questions


5. And apparently, your responses aren't good enough for them

6. When you get compared to your high-achieving, super successful cousin

7. When you're starving and have to wait in line behind every single cousin just to get a scoop of mashed potatoes


8. When the table gets into a heated debate over the recent political events


9. And then your sibling decides it's the perfect time to share your most embarrassing story with everyone


10. And while you're the center of attention, somebody decides to ask you why you're always single


11. When that one relative you barely know tries to shove their aggressive opinions down your throat


12. And then your family gets mad that you're in a bad mood


13. When you're uncle asks you why you didn't eat the dried out, overcooked turkey


14. And at this point, few things can put you in a better mood


15. And while you love your family, you know you would rather be doing other things

Thanksgiving can be hard! Hopefully these pictures will brighten the day for you!

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.
