November can be a tough month for college students. Somehow midterms are still happening, the weather becomes majorly unpredictable, finals are creeping up, and the time to redeem bad grades is quickly running out. But November can also be a really great month as leaves change colors, new sports begin, seasonal favorites return and plenty of time is spent with the ones we love. Here are 5 things every college student can be thankful for this month.


1. Holiday drinks at Starbucks

Cheers to holiday drinks at Starbucks! The perfect kickoff to November is a whole new seasonal menu at Starbucks. There's no better way to welcome in this new season than with peppermint, eggnog, gingerbread, and my personal fav...chestnut praline. 'Tis the season for more reasons to go to Starbucks!


2. The freedom to vote

No matter how you feel about the end result, this month I'm so very thankful for the freedom to vote. I hope I never forget how privileged I am to have the opportunity to voice my political opinion.


3. The start of college basketball season

It's that time of year! College football season may be cooling down but basketball is just warming up. Get out your oversized basketball jerseys and get ready to jump around!


4. A whole day to be thankFULL

Nothing better than an entire day to count your blessings and fill your belly.


5. 'Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life' release

If you're anything like me, your motivation to power through this month of school has been the anticipation of November 25. More Gilmore Girls on Netflix?? Can you say early Christmas present?!


So don't fear finals and take the time to enjoy the falling leaves, peppermint mochas, 3-pointers, good food, better family, and every last bit of November!

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.

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.
