Be kind, be thoughtful, be genuine; but most of all, be thankful.

What Are YOU Thankful for?
Quote Addicts

The week of Thanksgiving is filled with lots of food, family, and, of course, awkward encounters with that one family member you only see twice a year at holiday gatherings. While this week is a whirlwind of excitement, its so important to sit down and take a moment to appreciate all the wonderful blessings you have been given. Therefore, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I've compiled a list of 31 things I am thankful for, each representative of one of 31 days in November.


31 things (but definitely not all) I'm thankful for are:

1. My family

2. Beautiful sunsets

3. My bed

4. The numerous ways we can eat potatoes

5. IU basketball

6. Coffee, of course

7. Cold medicine

8. Yummy smelling candles

9. Colorful pens

10. Leggings

11. Glasses

12. The ocean

13. Naps

14. Fuzzy blankets

15. Comfy couches

16. Late night food runs with friends

17. "Back in my day" stories from my grandparents

18. Inside jokes

19. Books

20. My siblings

21. Dogs

22. People who hold the door open for me

23. People who say "thank you" when I hold the door open for them

24. People who smile as you pass them on the sidewalk

25. People who smile back when you shoot a smile as you pass by

26. Christmas movies

27. Decorating the house for Christmas

28. Pretty Christmas lights

29. Yummy soup

30. Cuddles

31. Campfires

Okay, you get it. The list can go on and on. There are so many things in our lives, big and small, that we take for granted. Take a minute to think.. what are YOU thankful for?

AI music threatens creativity

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.
