Coming home from months of hard work, piles of assignments, and tons of stress, I was ready to spend some time with my family and friends. I had already been thinking about the things we could do during the entire month I would have off. But sometimes, it's hard to think of what to do during the holiday season when it's so cold outside! To battle this problem, I have come up with a list of a few holiday activities that are bound to make your days wonderful!

1. Ice Skate at Bryant Park

2. Build a Snowman

3. Watch Christmas Movies

4. Make Hot Chocolate and Cookies

5. See the Christmas Lights at Dyker Heights

6. Make Snow Angels

7. Decorate a Christmas Tree


8. Go Shopping

9. Visit the Tree at Rockefeller Center

10. Go sledding

11. Get Your Nails Done

12. Make a Gingerbread House

13. See the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular

14. Listen to Christmas Music

15. Spend Time With Your Family & Friends

Sometimes, all we need during the holiday season is our family and friends; the people we love. All it takes to have fun is to be in their presence, but sometimes we need to go out and have some fun. I'd like to believe that Christmas and the holiday season are never over, but eventually, they do have to come to an end. So, enjoy what's left of the winter season, because hopefully, spring will soon be on its way!

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.
