December is by far my favorite month. Each year I count down the time until my favorite month comes back around. This year was no exception. Here are the 8 things I am excited for this December

1. Snow.

I know a lot of people hate December because of the cold and snow but that's why I love this month. There's nothing quite as beautiful as now covering the trees in my opinion. It hasn't snowed very much where I am from so I am ready for that first snowfall!

2.My Grandma's Ginger Bread Cookies.

Each December my grandma makes gingerbread cookies to give to the family. They are honestly the best cookies I have ever had and I am very much looking forward to another delicious batch this year.

3. Decorating For The Holidays.

Another thing I am excited for his helping my mom decorate for Christmas. Every year we go and pick out a tree together and spend the day decorating it and setting up for Christmas.

4. Seeing The Lights At The Park.

Every year a park near my town sets up lights in the park and the display is absolutely gorgeous. It is one of my favorite parts about December and this year I can't wait to get a chance to go and see the lights once again this year.

5. Christmas.

December means that Christmas is just right around the corner. Christmas means family, food, fun, and presents. What more could someone ask for in a holiday?!

6. My Birthday.

I think this one is pretty self-explanatory! I cannot wait to celebrate with the ones that I love and this year I am planning a trip to Vegas!

7. Christmas Movies.

Christmas movies have been a lifelong favorite of mine ever since I was a kid. Being an adult hasn't changed that one bit!

8. The End of Fall Semester.

While finals absolutely suck the feeling of enjoying a break after all the hard work put in is a feeling like no other!

What are some of your favorite things about December? Let me know in the comment section below!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
