As we celebrate the holiday season, here are some songs you should definitely give a listen to or add to your playlist! These are some of my favorites and will definitely add some pep to your day as you gear up for parties, gatherings, and quiet time spent with your loved ones.

1. Text Me Merry Christmas (feat. Kristen Bell)- Straight No Chaser, Kristen Bell

This song adds a modern day twist to traditional Christmas music. I bet a lot of us could relate to being away from a loved one during the holiday season.

2. Winter Wonderland / Don’t Worry Be Happy- Pentatonix, Tori Kelly

This track is so cheerful and gets me feeling excited for all the joyous moments to come this winter break!

3. Last Christmas- Wham!

This song is such a classic. Your playlist wouldn’t be complete without it.

4. All I Want For Christmas Is You- Mariah Carey

Another classic. Mariah Carey’s whole album is full of peppy and energetic Christmas hits.

5. Mary, Did You Know?- Pentatonix

This song is slow and somber. I like that it brings a little bit of faith into the mix. It’s a very peaceful and thoughtful song.

6. Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy- Vitamin String Quartet

Vitamin String Quartet’s albums are filled with instrumental versions of classics but this one stands out to me. I love this song’s energy and excitement.

7. Let It Snow- Straight No Chaser

A capella groups just have a way with Christmas music. Straight No Chaser again does a wonderful job with a holiday favorite.

8. It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas- Bing Crosby

An old school classic, this song will definitely get you in the spirit of getting ready for the holidays!

9. Mis Deseos / Feliz Navidad (Duet)- Michael Bublé, Thalía

This song is super sweet and has a catchy melody. Michael Bublé’s entire album is filled with jazzy and cheerful tracks.

10. The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)- Nat King Cole

This classic is a favorite of mine. This song will get you pumped and ready to celebrate with your family and friends in no time.

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.

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.
