If you're anything like me, it has been kind of hard to get into the Christmas spirit this year. This weather has felt more like September weather and hello I’d like to see some snow sticking by now. The weatherman is on TV forecasting sunny and 75 while we’re all cuddled on our couches dreaming of a “White Christmas.”

There’s also that annoyance having gotten into the Christmas spirit a little early and now you just can’t get it back when you need it. It’s just a week before Christmas and I am so behind on my Christmas movie binge-watching…Having gotten so caught up in school and work, Christmas has just snuck up on me and I have a whole list of things I want to do this season.

Maybe you feel my stress and you just want to curl up on the couch, in your fuzziest socks, with a mug of hot cocoa in your hands and get into that holiday spirit!! To help you out and save you 30 minutes of wasting time picking out a movie…Here are twelve out of my many favorite Christmas movies…I can assure you there is one for every person and all occasions out there. Family time? Check! Romantic night in? I got you covered! A night alone to yourself? Got that too! Need a good cry or a greater life? Check out this list!

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.
