Halloween Is Over, And I'm Ready For Christmas

I just want Christmas music to be socially acceptable before Thanksgiving already if I'm being honest.

With everything that feels just wrong lately, I would like to feel the same kind of happiness that is usually associated with the holiday season. I'm ready for terrible Hallmark holiday movies and the "Countdown to Christmas" on Freeform.

I'm ready for hot chocolate and colder weather. I'm ready to be bundled in blankets. And listen. to. Christmas. music.

I want to bake gingerbread cookies and wrap presents!

Christmas time is when I feel like people are genuinely in a better mood and less terrible overall, and God only knows that is something we could all use right now.

Christmas makes me feel warm and brings out my inner grandma - I want to make cookies and goodies for everyone and make sure everyone has eaten. I understand that not everyone celebrates Christmas, but there's no denying the feeling that comes when you're surrounded by people that care about you and are genuinely enjoying your company.

Christmas, for me, begins as soon as Halloween ends and there's a good chance I'm probably listening to Christmas music if it's a 'ber month. Besides, Pentatonix just dropped a new album and John Legend dropped a Christmas album too.

I need a little Christmas! Right this very minute! I would like for Christmas lights to be acceptable before Thanksgiving so I could enjoy a ride with cool air while looking at Christmas lights. The idea is extremely calming to me considering everything seems so just "blah" to me at the moment.

I feel like Christmas is just what I need to get a little extra oomph in my step again. Christmas Queen Eileen is ready to reign once again.

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.
