7 Things to look forward to this Christmas

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas [almost]!

Just because it hasn’t snowed yet (I mean come on it’s almost December… seriously mother nature, get it together.) but that doesn’t mean we haven’t gotten into the Christmas spirits! Peppermint mochas and Nutmeg lattes are being served at Starbucks, the streets are decorated with lights and wreathes and Christmas music is being played everywhere. But with finals hurling towards students at full speed it’s hard to get excited for Christmas.

But here is a list of 7 things to look forward to this Christmas:

1. WINTER BREAK: the one thing students have been looking forward to all year (besides summer)! Because we all deserve a break after stuffing our faces with turkey and pie over thanksgiving. It’s only a couple weeks away, stay strong fellow students! We can do this!

2. Christmas Trees: ah, the essence and joy of Christmas. decorating a Christmas tree is the most fun thing to do especially with your family. You will not truly feel the joy of Christmas unless you have it decorated and centered in your home as you gather around it with your loved ones this merry holiday.

3. Classic Christmas movies: it doesn’t get better than sitting at home in a cozy pajamas, eggnog in hand, while watching Home alone for about the bizillionth time.

4. Christmas Music: if you’re not playing Michael Bublé and Mariah Carey in the background are you really in the Christmas spirit?


5. Ugly Christmas Sweaters: need I say more?

6. Snow: because throwing a freezing ball of snow into a relative’s face is how we express love during Christmas. Oh, and don’t forget snow angels and snowmen!


7. Christmas Shopping: I saved the best for last, my fellow shopaholics;prepare for the prices to drop just like the temperature, and our bank accounts. Because we all know that you didn’t buy that cute sweater just for your sister, you bought it so you could borrow it as well. And Christmas is a time of sharing!

Have a Merry Christmas and Good luck to everyone during Finals!

Remember, Winter Break is just around the corner!

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.

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.
