What NOT To Do During Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving break is swiftly approaching and while it would be typical of me to make a list of things to do during this time off from school, I thought I'd throw in a plot twist and compose a list of things NOT to do during break. This could get weird, so hope you enjoy.

1. Live in the guilt eating too much

Literally, it's Thanksgiving. This is a prime opportunity to stuff your face with as much as possible with little to no judgement at all. Embrace this chance, and enjoy it.

2. Procrastinate your homework

I was thinking about pressuring you into neglecting your responsibilities because it's supposed to be a "break" but seriously, dude/dudedette you have to be at least a little productive. As soon as you get back to school, life is going to smack you in the face and you gotta be prepared.

3. Neglect the opportunity to sleep as much as possible

While we get to eat as much as possible, our calendars should hopefully be freed up a little to make room for sleep! College can literally wipe us out sometimes so take this chance to get some much needed and well deserved rest.

4. Forget about your friends from school

They miss you. Text them. Facetime them. Something. Make time for your family but show your loyalty to your friendship by keeping in touch with your college buddies and ask them how their break is going.

5. Move to Canada

I told you this could get weird. But seriously America, we're going to be okay. It's Thanksgiving and one thing we all have to be thankful for is the rights that we have as Americans. Unless your decision leave the country has nothing to do with who's in office but your own dreams and desires. In that case, go!


Short and sweet, I know but there are a few things that you shouldn't do during Thanksgiving Break. Take some time off and enjoy it, because you deserve it.

Until next time, be nice to people and do good things.

Happy Holidays!

-Nick

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
