13 Thoughts For The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
Nano Buffet

The time is now here. November 1st. The beginning of the Christmas season. Yes, I understand that we still have Thanksgiving coming up - and I do enjoy Thanksgiving - but it's basically a warm-up for the big one. Thanksgiving doesn't haven't a season full of joy, and the three or four weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas simply aren't enough time tp celebrate Christmas. So it's here, the most wonderful time of the year.

1. It's time to give in to the madness

2. That means music

3. That means food

4. And of course...decorations

5. Also, red cups are coming

6. This is when it begins

7. We aren't deterred by those lacking in Christmas spirit

8. We are willing to stand up for our right to celebrate

9. But we want those haters to also get involved in the fun

10. So get those sweaters ready

11. Get your playlists set

12. Keep those movies and specials in mind

13. And have a wonderful Christmas season

So don't ever let people tell you its too early, because November 1st is a perfectly fine day to start getting in the Christmas spirit. All of the things that go along with it are amazing, and I am just as much a Christmas fanatic as anyone. Despite this, as we head into this Christmas season, everyone should remember why we get to have such a magical time in the first place.

"10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord." - Luke 2:10-11

Thats why this season is so amazing. All of this stuff is incredibly fun but the joy and generosity that we aim to bring in this season is a small yet crucial thing we can do to remember we are celebrating the birth of the Savior of all mankind. Not the Savior of just a few, but the Savior of "all the people".

Have a wonderful Christmas season!

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.

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.
