Thanksgiving Week Feelings You Probably Related to

1. Commuting Home From College

Coming home for college students means that we will be able to lay in a comfy bed and will also be able to get a good meal.

2. Resisting The urge to Bring up Politics at the dinner table


Whether you are on the left or on the right, it is difficult to avoid someone bringing up politics at the dinner table, especially this election year.

3. Family asking about relationships


Family members are nosy throughout the whole year, but they seem to want to know about your relationship status the most during the holidays. They ask you when you will find a boyfriend/girlfriend or when you will "finally settle down."

4. The Black Friday Chaos


Each year, this has become more and more of a tradition. It is not only intense, but also seems like a war zone. And has anyone else noticed that the time for black Friday is getting earlier each year?

5. Seeing Old Friends


This is probably something only college kids can relate to. Nothing is better than finally seeing your best friends when coming home from school.

6. Having to go Through Snarky Comments from Family members

They can comment on anything and it might ruin your mood. This will either be on you being single or they do not like your outfit.

7. Stress From School Takes a Break


FINALLY! There is almost (for some of us) nothing for us to worry about when it comes to getting school work done. We have the time to relax and binge watch out favorite show!

8. Getting asked How You are Doing in School


Although we have a break from school, it does not mean our parents are going to forget about asking us about school. This is especially stressful when you are struggling to pass classes.

9. The feeling of being full after thanksgiving dinner


What is true meaning of thanksgiving? The history? Family? or is it just food? A lot of us can relate to being stuffed(just like the turkey was) after a thanksgiving dinner. We have probably all felt so full that we cannot even pick ourselves up from our seats.

10. The Transition to Christmas


Right when it turns to midnight, thanksgiving is in the past and it is all about Christmas. Right after thanksgiving it seems that all everyone can talk about it the upcoming holiday.

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.

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.
