6 Places You Must Visit During The Holidays
Stephanie Estrada

Christmas season, as well finals week, is among us and vacations are coming up soon, but planning vacations can certainly be a pain! I'm the kind of person who plans her vacations at the very last minute with my sister because everyone I know goes back to Nicaragua. However, drawing from my many new acquaintances and experiences this year, I've rounded up quite a few spots that make for a great mini - vacation destination. Many people would say that traveling during the holidays is extremely pricey, but there are still some few destinations that aren't so bad for your wallet. Here are just some of my favorite holiday destinations for a stress-free holiday season for both you and your wallet.

1. St. Petersburg / Clearwater- Florida

What else could you ask for! Just imagine yourself right now looking at this dreamy sunset and drinking some Chardonnay. St. Petersburg isn't that expensive to spend the holidays at all–– just look at this cozy room from Airbnb.

2. Nashville - Tennessee


Nashville is known for their awesome food and music. Last year's, Kings of Leon played a free concert for New Year's in Nashville. Yes, FREE. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to see some of you favorite artists perform for free and not return home broke. It might add a little cheer to your Christmas season.

3. Atlanta - Georgia

Maybe going to their 13th Annual Downtown Countdown might be a fun event to attend. This event includes 3 party areas, 3 DJ's, 1 band, and 4 comedians! That definitely sounds like fun.

4. Miami - Florida

Personally, I'm the kind of person who likes to do something low key for New Year's Eve. If the same is true for you, maybe going to Bayfront Park in Miami, Florida just might be for you! They play live music and have a countdown until midnight when fireworks ring in the New Year.

5. Key West - Florida

For those seeking relaxation, going down to Key West might be another perfect Christmas holiday destination for anyone. Florida has the best weather during December, which makes it a perfect place to relax and drink some margaritas on the beach.

6. HOME

Spending the holiday season with your family wouldn't be so bad, right? I love reconnecting with my parents and just have fun drinking wine. It's always good to go back home and enjoy the little things because life's short. As the year is coming to an end, remember that there's always time to change and new adventures are just around the corner.

Until the next one, lovely people! Happy holidays!

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.

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.
