11 Signs You're Obsessed With Christmas

1. You start to watch Christmas movies on Netflix to get pumped:

Ah yes getting started on the mass collection of Christmas movies before you can even sit down for the Thanksgiving meal. Sorry mom, i'll take it to go. Can you say Christmas movies and Chill?

2. The presents because you're a broke college student:

Most of the time you're spending money on food or T-shirts, so you don't have a lot to spend on family members or yourself. It's the one true time you don't feel broke or hungry.


3. You start singing Catchy Christmas Songs:

If you haven't put this song on repeat at least for an hour, are you even in the Christmas spirit?

4. Basic Starbucks' Red Cups:

A sorority sister and I solely went to Starbucks for the cups. Yes, it's that big of a deal. basics know this is the start of Christmas season and they become our new red solo cup. Only this time, filled with coffee.

5. You've already made your Christmas list:

Whether its Channing Tatum stripping out of a present box or a new Michael Kors purse or a $100 gift card to Hobby Lobby, every girl deserves to be spoiled. So why not at Christmas? Or why not all?

6. You're ready for Sweater Parties:

You're more excited about wearing an ugly sweater than the person who got rid of it. You finally sacrificed a night of wearing a t-shirt and went for the even comfier shirt. Can you even Christmas if you don't own one ugly sweater?

7. Decorating the house before its Thanksgiving:


You become the person that most people despise and you skip right over Thanksgiving like it's a hurdle. Like, I'm sorry if I can't contain my happiness for only a month. Christmas is a lifestyle, not a season.

8. You start planning your Gingerbread Men and House:

You start planning your Gingerbread family that may or may not include David Beckham as the father, living in a Gingerbread Mansion with an icing-filled pool.

9. Your Pinterest board is filled with every recipe imaginable for baking and hot cocoa:

Your diet consists of Peppermint, Pumpkin spice, anything chocolate, Ginger, hot cocoa, and getting wasted off of Eggnog for 3 months.

10. You're already wearing Christmas pajamas:

You don't hide the shame of wearing Christmas pajamas a whole month early and let everyone know in your 9:30 class that Christmas is upon us.

11. Waiting for the feeling you wake up on Christmas morning:

No matter how old you are, you will always be a 5-year-old on Christmas morning rather than a walking zombie you usually are to your morning class.

Despite having different levels of obsession, spread the love and holiday cheer ya filthy animal.

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.
