Seven Deadly Sins You Were Guilty Of This Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is that wonderful time of the year where we all spend with family and give thanks for everything we have. But, even the best of us fall prey to the seven deadly sins on this glorious food-filled day.

Envy


When you and your grumbling stomach see your friends' Instagram posts and Snapchat stories of plates full of food but your family is still busy cooking with hours to go. (Props to you if you can actually pull off the meal by 12:00 P.M.).

Wrath


When you're the 14th family member in line for the gravy and your brother gets to it first and polishes it off right before you have a chance to get any. Siblings can be so frustrating.

Lust


When you keep eyeing that hot friend across the table who your cousin brought for Thanksgiving dinner. Yum...

Greed


When you eat far more than your fair share of mashed potatoes and turkey.... and... the stuffing, green beans, rolls, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie...

Pride


When the pumpkin pie you made from scratch and brought to the family dinner is everyone’s favorite by far. First prize!

Gluttony


When you eat enough food to last you through the winter, but you still continue to eat the last three pieces of pumpkin pie.

Sloth


When you immediately make your way to the couch after eating dinner. You want nothing more than to lie down and sleep in a food coma.

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

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.
