Top 5 Things I'm Thankful For

So, this past week I was reminded to think about all of the things I was thankful for. Well, some obvious ones came to mind, but some of them didn't come to me until Thanksgiving was already halfway over. So, here are the five things, in no particular order, I was most thankful for during my Thanksgiving Break.

1. Family

Family is a really big thing that I was thankful for this past week. Even though they sometimes get under my skin, I still love them and Thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without them. (sidenote: My dad always seems to be on the other side of the camera.)

2. Friends

I love my friends to death and I'm so thankful for them. I know they would be there for me through anything. Definitely something to be thankful for in my book. Special shoutout to all of my friends that are not in this picture that I have gotten closer with this year.

3. Netflix

Yes. Netflix. While I love spending time with the family, I also like taking time for myself and watching a little Netflix. (In particular, all of the Thanksgiving Friends episodes. Just look at Chandler Bing dancing on top of that 'E'! Priceless.)

4. Cool Whip

I LOVE Cool Whip, and I am very thankful for it when it comes to my pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving time. The amount of Cool Whip in the picture above is just right. I need much more on my pie than just a dollop!

5. Books

I started reading again over Thanksgiving Break, and in adition to Netflix, it is a great way to get away from reality and stress. If you are dying to know which book I started reading, it's The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

While I am thankful for a lot more things year around, these are the five that were most prominent during my break. What were you most thankful for this year? Comment below and let me know!

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.
