Some Thoughts During Thanksgiving Break

When Thanksgiving break comes around, the first thing that comes to mind is food. The next is trying to figure out how to bring some food back to school with you. Besides that, here are a few other thoughts.

Side note: It doesn't feel like Thanksgiving is here. I think the weather is throwing me off a lot because it doesn't feel like November. I remember this time last year, it was colder than what it is now.

1. The semester is coming to a close

Thanksgiving break falls at the right time of the semester. It's a break from a lot of work during the weeks leading up to it, but also a time to relax before final exams. Around this time, I want the semester to slow down because I realize it went by extremely fast. Right after break, there's little to no homework and then it's time to leave again for Christmas break.

2. Depending on how the semester went it can be a time to relax or a time to possibly panic

A time to relax if every class is going well and you feel as if you have nothing to worry about. A time to panic if there's a class that isn't going so well and now you're calculating how many points you need to pass the class.

3. Why can't this break be longer?

Being back home for a while is fun and sometimes I find myself not wanting an extra day. I want an extra day to hang out with the family, watch Netflix/Hulu, and to hang out with friends. I do often think why can't the break be a little longer, but at the same time, Christmas break is a few weeks later and I'll be back again.

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.
