Things I'm Thankful For

As Thanksgiving quickly approaches, I have begun to think about who and what I am thankful for. There are so many people and things that I am thankful for at this time of year, when in reality I should be thankful for them all year round.

1. My Parents

My parents are some of the best people around. Always so loving and supporting towards me and my friends and will always provide for someone if they need it. I am thankful for these two wonderful people as they have shaped me to be the person I am today.

2. My Friends (Pictured and Not Pictured)

My beautiful group of friends are people I can almost always rely on and I know will always provide me with a fun time. I'm thankful for them especially now because I am so far away from the majority of them.

3. My Guardian Angel

I'm missing you oh so much in the short time that has gone by since you passed. I'm thankful for everything you had every done for me & am also very thankful I have someone like you to watch over me as I need it the most in New York City.

4. My Grandparents

I've always been very thankful for these two, for not only spoiling me & always making sure I had a smile on my face, but for also raising a wonderful son (my father) and an amazing daughter (my aunt). Thank you so much for everything, I love you both so much.

5. New York City

The endless opportunities and sleepless nights really make going to college here so much more surreal. I am so thankful for this opportunity.

6. Kanye West

Who isn't thankful for Kanye? Thankful for the creative genius he is and the way his music makes me feel.

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.
