We Are...Thankful For You, Penn State
"Happy Valley Photos"

With Thanksgiving season ending, I had the time to reflect what I'm most thankful for. Every other year I say how I'm thankful for my family, health, pets, etc. This year I'm still thankful for those, but I've decided to reflect on the things that I, and many other Penn State students, are thankful for:

1. Penn State in general

As an Animal Science major, I'm thankful for the opportunity to attend one of the largest agriculture schools in the nation. Being a Penn State student means that I will not only have classes that prepare me for a career in agriculture, but it also gives me the biggest alumni network and all of its associations, so my chances of getting hired by a Penn State grad are pretty high. Since Penn State has a big agricultural college, it also allows students to get involved in clubs like the Dairy Science Club, and participate in the events they put on , like Meet A Cow Day.


2. Penn State Football

In just this season we went from being an unranked team, to being ranked number 7. Oh yeah, we also beat Ohio State... sorry I mean THE Ohio State. Need I say more?


3. The food downtown

The food downtown is a necessity in all Penn Stater's diets. Whether you're craving Pokey Sticks or a burger from Baby's, every kind of cuisine that you would possibly want can be found downtown, plus it's cheap!


4. Berkey Creamery

I'm a huge ice cream fan, so being able to get delicious ice cream practically 24/7 for sure makes this a huge thing that I'm thankful for.

5. The friends

Finally, I'm thankful for the friends that I've made while attending Penn State. I'm at a school that has over 40,000 students during any given year and I'm somehow able to make friends that have the same background I do, and some that don't. Finding this diversity at Penn State has allowed me to grow as a person.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
