Always Celebrate Friendsmas
Sydney Jones

Christmas is a time for celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ and all the happiness that comes along with it. Family comes in from out of town and everyone seems to be in the giving spirit. The giving spirit is contagious and nothing makes you happier than seeing people enjoy the gifts you bought them. Family time is crucial and there are so many more laughs. But, friend time is and can be just as important! Friendsmas is a time where you can literally kick back and relax... without any judgment.

You can not wear any makeup and get no comments about the dark circles under your eyes. Or you could wear makeup and it would still be just as normal.

You can stuff your face with sausage balls and your grandmother wouldn't be there making a comment about the freshman 15 or sophomore 25. You could drink the whole jug of hot cocoa and no one would think anything different.

There are zero comments about your love life, because everyone knows there isn't one. You can be in your best clothes or your worst. Your friends understand the importance of an Instagram-worthy photo in front of the Christmas tree, even if it takes 25 tries.

Friendsmas is just as important as family time because these are the people that really know you and really care for you. They show up at unexpected times and do not care about your appearance.

It is a time of no school questions, no boyfriend/girlfriend questions, and no political questions.

Being surround by friends at Christmas is just as important as any other Christmas tradition. Don't let your friends slip through the cracks this Christmas season. Tis the season, folks.

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.
