For all you December birthday's out there, we can all agree that there are pros and cons of having such a cold birthday. Here is a list of things that suck about having a December birthday.

1. Everyone has their minds set on Christmas.

2. People think it's okay to combine your Christmas AND birthday gift??

You have to be kidding.

3. You can always count on at least ONE person to combine your Christmas and birthday gift.

4. Especially in college, everyone is studying for finals and don't have time to celebrate with you.

5. Or everyone has prior commitments to go to holiday parties instead of your birthday party.

6. Everyone has already spent all their money on Christmas presents and they can't afford to buy you a birthday gift.

7. It's always horrible weather on your birthday.

Or, if you live in Michigan, you can never know what the weather is going to be like because it's so unexpected.

8. People always forget your birthday because they're always thinking about Christmas.

9. You can't get a "Happy Birthday!" without getting asked about Christmas plans.

10. It's always hard to get all your friends to come out to the bars with you because they're all studying for finals or celebrating Christmas.

11. (Either pro OR con) Your birthday is surrounded by Christmas decorations.

No I don't want Mistletoe over my head when I'm blowing out my birthday candles.

12. [This happened to me once] Getting associated with Jesus because you "share the same birthday month."

Okay sorry man, but my birthday is MY day and you have YOUR own. Let's just keep the celebrations separate. I don't combine birthday parties anymore.

13. Why celebrate Christmas when everyone should just celebrate your birth anyway??

My life is the real present.

Now don't get me wrong, I love Christmas and I love having a December birthday but some of you have to agree that this happens to you sometimes.

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.
