What I'm Looking Forward To Over Thanksgiving Break

I can't wait to see my family and friends and most importantly, I can't wait to eat.

What I'm Looking Forward To Over Thanksgiving Break

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, every college student has begun to count down the days until they get to go home. It's the first real break of the semester when you get to go and see your family and take a break for a couple of days. Here's some things I'm looking forward to:

1. Seeing my mom and dad

I CANNOT wait to see my parents. I FaceTime and text them almost every day but I seriously can't wait to see them in person. The homesickness is real.

2. Spending time with my family

I go to my aunt and uncle's house in Cape Cod every Thanksgiving and I cannot wait! Getting to see my cousins Catie and Nicole, their dog Wilma, and just spending time together as a family will be the best. I also can't wait to watch Christmas vacation, which is a Thanksgiving tradition.

3. Seeing my cat

I can't wait to see my little guy and cuddle with him while watching Christmas movies.

4. Seeing my hometown friends

I can't wait to see my best friends Maria and Larisa and to go to our high school's pep rally as official alumni! We'll get lunch at our favorite spot and get to catch up over the last couple of months.

5. My Yiayia's home cooked Thanksgiving dinner

I can't wait for a nice home cooked meal, especially my Yiayia's Thanksgiving dinner. She makes the best turkey, stuffing, and salad and I'm counting down the days until I get to eat it.

6. Getting to sleep in my bed

Sleeping in my own bed after sleeping in a dorm room bed will be the best. There's nothing like the feeling of your own bed, especially after a long day of eating Thanksgiving food.

7. Not having to do my own laundry

I'm not the best at this whole laundry thing, and I'll never be as good at at as my mom is. Having her do my laundry for a couple of days will be great.

8. Driving

I MISS DRIVING. Taking ubers everywhere gets old and I seriously can't wait to get behind the wheel.

9. Getting to work Black Friday

I have worked at Aerie for about a year now, and it is such a great job filled with the best people. I can't wait to work on Black Friday because I'm a broke college student who could desperately use some money, and so I can catch up with my managers and coworkers.

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.
