5 Perks Of Having A December Birthday
All Wishes

People often ask me whether or not I like having my birthday in December. Isn’t it too close to Christmas? they ask, or Do you ever think your birthday is overlooked because of the holidays? Personally, I LOVE having a December birthday. Here are five perks of having a birthday in December that all December babies know:

1. There’s plenty to see and do to celebrate our birthday because December is full of celebrations, craft fairs, light shows, and holiday movies. We don’t just get the same-old-same-old… it’s like someone creates a month of festivities especially for us!


2. The newest toys, games, and technologies come out right before our birthdays, because they’re coming out for the holidays. This makes our wish list the most up to date out of any of our friends and family!


3. If we’re wishing for something big, we can request a combined “birthday-Christmas” present. Since our birthday falls near the holidays, this is definitely a feasible option.


4. We have so many fun holiday socks, earrings, and shirts that we’ve received as gifts! I love never having to repeat my holiday attire because I have enough to last me the whole month!


5. Best of all, we get to celebrate with our family and friends because everyone comes home for the holidays. This is especially a perk for college students… there is nothing as fun as getting together with childhood friends to celebrate our special day.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY DECEMBER BABIES!!!

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.
