5 Advantages Of Having a Birthday At The End Of The Year
PlusQuotes

You may always get teased for being the youngest of your friends, but those summer babies don't know what they're missing out on! Here are some great things about having a birthday towards the end of the calendar year:

1. The holidays are just around the corner.

Whether your birthday is closer to Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's, there's always a holiday to look forward to while you're wrapped up in that post-birthday depression.

2. You can have fall and winter themed birthday celebrations.

Even if you don't have a full-blown birthday party, you still have the freedom to go pumpkin picking, build a snowman, or just make a nice cup of cocoa... ON YOUR BIRTHDAY.

3. You don't have to go through the hassle of throwing a pool party/BBQ.

There are a lot of advantages that go with this. You don't need to shave your legs or have that perfect bikini body, you don't have to rely on the weather to be nice, you don't need to get all of the supplies needed for an outdoor party... the list goes on and on.

4. You'll be the last of your group of friends who has to face the inevitable arrival of adulthood.

From paying taxes to living on your own, it's quite a lot to adjust to. If you're the youngest in your group of friends, you can cling to your childhood that much longer.

5. It makes you unique.

Spring and summer babies seem to be so common, right? Sooo mainstream. But being born at the end of the year is something pretty special, and not many people realize that.

So ignore your friends that are celebrating getting way too old way too quickly with a pool party for the 6th year in a row, and bask in the awesomeness that is your birthday.

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.
