Winter is one of my favorite seasons of the year and is the season where I am most happy! Here's a list of some things that add to the happiness of the winter season:

1. Christmas Lights

I love driving around my town with my friends and seeing all the Christmas lights while listening to the "Pop Christmas" station on Spotify.

2. Elf

This is, hands down, the BEST holiday movie ever! It's even better when you can recite every line of the movie.

3. Snow

The scene of snowing is so relaxing to me. And usually, when I'm trying to calm down from anxiety, I picture snow falling gently on the ground. So, when the scene is actually happening, it's so beautiful and breathtaking.

4. Holiday Drinks from Starbucks

It's honestly, like, the holidays in a cup.

5. Sitting By the Fire

Especially when you're cuddled up with your dog.

6. Sweaters

Pulling a warm sweater on, on a cold morning is the best feeling ever.

7. Fuzzy Socks

Not going to lie, these are the best things to get for Hanukkah/Christmas!

8. "The Chanukah Song"

"Put on your yarmulke, here comes Chanukah. So much funukah to celebrate Chanukah." If you've never been introduced to this glorious piece of music, you can begin your journey here.

9. Skiing

The first day that it gets cold, I start thinking about when I'll be able to participate in this incredible sport. I love being on the mountains alone and breathing the Pocono Mountain air.

10. Holiday Music


My favorite holiday album is Ariana Grande's Christmas and Chill.

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.
