5 Reasons Why Being A Christmas Baby Is Awesome
Morgan Marshall

Nearly everyone seems to think that having a birthday in the month of December is no fun at all. When you tell them that your birthday is within a couple days before or after Christmas, they think it's even worse. Little do they know, it is the best time of year to have a birthday. Here are a few reasons why:

1. No one ever has an excuse to forget your birthday

With your birthday being so close to the holiday, no one has a good excuse to say that they forgot. And if they do, I hope they're joking because it's basically like forgetting Christmas. No one ever forgets about Christmas.

2. You never have to go to school on your birthday

Sure, it wasn't the best in first grade when your whole class didn't sing "Happy Birthday," but you develop a whole new outlook once you get older. Now that I'm in college, I am THANKFUL that I am not in school on Dec. 24. I can't imagine how terrible that would be.

3. Your family is guaranteed to be there when you celebrate

Even if your birthday falls on the 23rd or the 26th, you still get precious family time right around your big day. For as long as I can remember, we've celebrated my birthday right before we opened presents as a family. I'll always be thankful for the extra time that I get to spend with them.

4. You get the best decorations because of Christmas

Lights, inflatable snowmen, tinsel, and wreaths are statements of Christmas but you've found a way to make them a part of your special day. It's like everyone around you is celebrating your birthday, too. Also, wearing a Santa hat while having a 'happy birthday' sign strewn across your living room beside the tree is just so festive.

5. Most importantly, the gift of your birth cannot be topped

You were the best Christmas present that anyone in your family could have ever asked for. I highly doubt anything that can be store-bought is even comparable to your birth. If you were born on the 24th like me, it was basically just a twist on 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.

I think it's safe to say that being a Christmas baby is awesome and I definitely wouldn't have it any other way. Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas to all of my fellow Christmas babes!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
