26 Thoughts We Have The Day After Christmas
She Knows

Christmas might be over, but we aren't all finished with it yet. Here are 26 thoughts we all have every 26th of December.

1. Well damn. It’s over.

But there’s only…

2. 364 Days until Christmas!!

3. Let’s play with all of our stuff right now!

4. I want to wear all of my clothes at once!!

Sobering up, there is.

5. So. Much. Cleaning.

6. And we’d better take down these decorations…

Oh lord. *looks around post-apocalyptic living room*

7. Can’t we just leave them up until next year?

8. Can you recycle wrapping paper? Who brought this fancy kind? This is as thick as cardboard. There is no good way to crumple this.

Finished with that, moving on: time to get ready for the day. Let’s look at the spoils.

9. Ugh. I’m so jealous of my sister’s gift. Hers is such a better color!

10. And what about this shirt… are these frills? Oh man, how do I return this?

11. *Googles* “How to subtlety ask for a gift receipt”.

I’m finally dressed. Let’s go get some breakfast.

12. YAASSSSS LEFTOVERSSSSS.

13. And we should probably eat all of these Christmas cookies today.

14….I had better make a New Year’s resolution to go to the gym.

15. Wait, what am I doing for New Years?

16. More cleaning, probably.

17. I should go get a new dress for the party! But oh no… I’m just going to ignore my bank statement.

18. I wonder if I can still convince everyone to watch Elf a few more times?

Then, the horrible revelation:

19. No more Christmas music.

Okay. I think I’m actually done with Christmas. Now I’ll spend the rest of my time with my relatives

20. Feeling obligated to wear ugly sweaters.

21. And really hating whoever got drums for my nephew.

And those drums do a great job reminding me of my

22. Massive hangover.

23. Good God. When do my relatives leave?

24. Screw it. One more cookie. It’s not past New Year’s yet.

Speaking of which,

25. Where did all the liquor go?

26. Better buy more before December 31st.

Happy Holidays!

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.

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.
