Not many people know what Thanksgiving Day means and why we should celebrate this public holiday. Thanksgiving Day was founded back in 1620 when Pilgrims and Native Americans came together for a huge harvest feast, and since then we celebrate this day every year along with Christmas and New Year (everyone’s favorite time of the year).

Every year, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November and this year it will be celebrated on November 23.

Since this holiday is all about being grateful for your friends, families and of course food, we should also consider the little things to be thankful for as well. Here are 30 things you can be thankful for on Thanksgiving Day or any other day:

1. Snow

2. The last slice of cake

3. Fall leaves changing colors

4. Your favorite TV show

5. S’mores and campfires

6. Not having to set an alarm for the next day

7. The perfect playlist

8. Your health, even on days you have a cold

9. Pretty stationery

10. Google

11. Having coffee in the morning

12. It’s almost Christmas

13. The smell of Christmas trees

14. Waking up from a nap on time and feeling great

15. Movies you can watch over and over

16. Friendships, new and old

17. Having a great hair day

18. When Starbucks finally writes your name correctly

19. All the wonderful times you have laughed till you cried this year

20. Freedom

21. For your pets and all animals, we encounter

22. Good food, whether you’re making it or eating it

23. A hug after a very long and hard day

24. Fuzzy socks

25. Puppies!

26. Receiving education because not everyone can

27. Finishing a good book

28. Receiving handwritten letters or any nice message

29. Love

30. There is always something to be thankful for

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.
