The Weeks Between Thanksgiving and Christmas For College Students As Told By Modern Family

It's that time of year again. Thanksgiving Break is over, and it is time to head back to school. Bummer. Thankfully, there are only about three weeks before it is time to head back home! Then again, can you really wait that long? We all know how hard it is to get back into a groove after a vacation, especially when you get to break that groove very soon. Some of the top problems you will face between now and the end of finals will seem to be never ending. Just look for the light at the end of the tunnel.

The second you get back on campus is great! You get to see all of your friends again and get back to the freedom that you've strongly missed.

Then you remember that being back also means having actual responsibilities.

The next morning, getting up for your 8 AM is near impossible.


Being in class is even worse.

All you can think about is that gorgeous Thanksgiving dinner and the anticipated Christmas feast to come.

And now it's almost time for those finals! Make sure you study!

What!? You're assigning and essay?? NOW!?

Guess it's time to make coffee your only meal.

Coffee drinking and studying. That is your life now.

After hours upon hours of hard work, you finally finish your essay at 11:58 PM. Time to email it in for that passing grade!

You finish all of those finals and essays, and now you're ready to head home! Semester finished and responsibilities over!

This semester might have been rough but now you have a few weeks off to recooperate and prepare for the hell of next semester!

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.
