11 Things That Happen To Holiday Lovers After Halloween

Halloween is over now, and the holiday season is starting to begin. You walk into stores like Hobby Lobby and a winter wonderland of decorations awaits you, and you start seeing all the commercials for things to buy for loved ones this holiday season. Unless you're a complete scrooge, your holiday spirit is probably starting to hit full force.

1. You are counting down the days until Thanksgiving break.

Home, relaxation, family, friends, free food. Mainly free food.

2. Post Thanksgiving. You know what's coming.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, the reason you push through the other months of the year. You feel yourself slowly transforming into the absolute Christmas maniac you are.

3. Christmas Pandora stations are now completely acceptable.

UGH SING IT MARIAH. YAS.

4. You are on the constant prowl at all local thrift stores for ugly Christmas sweater.

It's not the holiday season without your Christmas formal wear. It just isn't.

5. You feel extremely resentful to anyone who isn't getting in the spirit right along with you.

So what if December is a month away? Do you not want to soak up the loving and warm feeling of the holiday season for as long as possible?

6. You are anxiously awaiting ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas.

THIS IS WHAT WE LIVE FOR PEOPLE.

7. You can no longer concentrate in school.

The motivation is gone. You've been busting your butt all semester and you're just about running on empty. You know you just have to get through finals, but you really aren't sure if you can do it.

8. You're starting to build up your Christmas list.

You'll be lucky if you even get a quarter of what you asked for, but hey dream on.

9. You're already stressing about the post-holiday depression.

It's real, and its painful.

10. You build a special bond with the friends that love the holidays as much as you do.

No one else understands us.

11. You're already on the prowl for Christmas presents to give to people.

You gotta spread the love, or at least try to. The budgets a little tight.

Honestly, what's not to love about the holiday season? It's a time to spend quality time with loved ones, eat great food, and be joyful. I see no issue in starting this a tad early.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
