An Amazing Time of the Year

This year is about to get lit.. literally.

An Amazing Time of the Year
History

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. This is the time of year that everyone begins to change, it’s almost as if the country takes a chill pill and decides to be nice to one another. For once the people you pass on the street wave at you, and the man who almost runs you over sends an apologetic look. The ugliest Christmas sweaters (and beanies) suddenly come flying off of runways. Eating a ridiculous amount of Christmas cookies is now considered a talent.

Whatever it is, this makes Christmas the most delightful time of the year. Along with this, there is also amazing music. Here is a list of my favorite Christmas jams to rock out to after your heavy Thanksgiving weekend.

All I Want For Christmas Is You

For those true romantics, the holidays are amazing. Cuddles are welcomed, and so are long hugs. Everything is all good with the world. Now go serenade that special person!

White Christmas

Whether you adore Bing Crosby or Michael Buble, White Christmas is the perfect Christmas Eve song. I grew up not seeing snow, so when I passed my first Christmas in Montana it was a dream come true. The snow was as bright as Santa’s beard and as soft as some shaved ice.

Jingle Bell Rock

I just started listening to this song because of Mean Girls, great song though.

Feliz Navidad

This is my jam, my siblings and I listen to it every Christmas. Being Latino but raised in the U.S, I find a strange comfort knowing that I can sing both parts equally as loud and as obnoxiously.

Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer

With the sickness season here, for a temporary period we all become Rudolph. Through my runny nose and puffy eyes, you will find me screeching this song.

If you haven’t noticed, I completely adore Christmas. I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas season. This isn’t the last you’ll hear from me.

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.
