So, for the first time ever during Thanksgiving, I am going to New York City to watch the Macy's Day Parade! I am so excited because I have never been to New York City! Actually, I have been to New York City, but I was an infant so to me that doesn't count.

I don't really know what to expect while I am in New York though as I am going with my boyfriend and his family. We will drive up on Wednesday the 22nd, and stay over in a hotel and then we will go to the Macy's Day Parade on Thursday the 23rd and spend the day there. Then we will sleepover at that same hotel and leave Friday, the 24th.

It is a solid plan as far as the days go, however, I don't know the exact logistics of what we will be doing on the days we are not at the parade. I will definitely be writing another article to follow up after the event!

I think that what I am looking forward to the most in the parade are the giant floats and the balloons. I am not quite sure what kind of floats will be there so that is something I am excited about! I want to be surprised!

On a different note, I am leaving to go home on November 16th, and will not be coming back to school until Monday the 27th. What I plan to do is sleep, literally. I am going to catch up on all the sleep that I have lost since I have been in college and I will also be hanging out with friends and family that I have not seen in several months.

While I am away, however, I am going to miss out on some great Thanksgiving foods. My favorite Thanksgiving food is applesauce, and not just any applesauce, but my Nana's homemade applesauce, it is so mouthwateringly good. I also love mashed potatoes with gravy, turkey, rolls, corn, but I am not a huge fan of stuffing for some reason. I have no idea why. All these foods almost making me not want to go to the parade and stay home and eat food! But there is no way I am missing New York!

Another tradition I loved doing on Thanksgiving break is going Black Friday shopping! It is the only time I am able to get all of my relatives and friends presents because they are a decent price. I hope that I will get the chance to go Black Friday shopping in New York! But again, I don't know what we will be doing. An update will be coming your way as soon as the New York Trip is over!

So, I do have a lot of great things going on over my break! I don't quite know what other breaks will look like for college students, I can imagine there will be a lot of sleeping involved though!

Have a safe break and a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

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.
