All I Want For Christmas Is My Best Friend
Elizabeth Colagrande

Life is super hard when you don't get to see your best friend for an entire semester. Yes, you have friends at school, but they don't know you as well as your best friend does. Sure, there's fall and Thanksgiving break, but not everyone comes home for those breaks. Even if they do come home, there still isn't enough time to do all the fun best friend things you wanted to do. Basically, being away from your best friend for four months sucks. That's why, for people like me, there are 3 main reasons why your best friend is #1 on your Christmas list.

1. You get to do all the Christmas things you both wanted to do in less than 5 days.

If you're obsessed with the Christmas season, then you know what it's like to want to do every little fun Christmas thing with the people you care about. So when you and your best friend come home the week before Christmas, it automatically becomes the most wonderful time of the year trying to make Christmas cookies, decorate the tree, go Christmas gift shopping, see NYC at Christmas all in under five days. After all, Christmas is all about being with those you love most. Obviously, your best friend is one of those lucky people.

2. You have a bar buddy for New Years Eve.

Yes, it's fun to go to the bars with your friends, but going to the bar with your best friend is the greatest thing ever. You get to have a dancing buddy, drinking buddy, and Uber buddy for the entire night without being judged for how much of a total hot mess you probably are. There's also no other person you would want to start the New Year off with other than your best friend.

3. Your best friend is the greatest and only gift you could ever want/receive.

There aren't a lot of perfect best friends in the world so you feel lucky enough that you and your best friend are. It's so hard not being able to see them every day, so the time you have together during the holidays is the most precious and joyous time you can have. You can spend your entire break with someone who would drop everything to go to half apps at Applebee's, binge watch movies on Netflix, or just to hang out and talk. Friendships are unique and special, but best friendships are indescribable. That's why Mariah Carey's tune still rings true, because "all I want for Christmas is you".

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

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.
