Christmas is coming fast and so is the snow! Which means hot chocolate and cuddling up on the couch watching 25 Days of Christmas! In New York City, Christmas is all about the events, the food, and everyone who look at all of the lights in awe.

1. Rockefeller Center

Rockefeller Center is absolutely beautiful. The best part? The huge tree in the middle of it all. Lit up in thousands of lights. It's up now until January 7th.

2. Radio City Christmas Spectacular

After seeing the tree, you can walk to Radio City for a Christmas show like no other. The Christmas Spectacular is full of cheer. It is 90 minutes of you questioning how these girls kick so high and so in sync.

3. Ice Skating

Whether you know how to skate or not, it's fun trying not to embarrass yourself and fall. There are many places where you can go ice skating. If you enjoy being around many people, Rockefeller Center is your best bet. If you want to go somewhere more relaxed, Bryant Park has a great rink.

4. NYE Ball Drop

We all gather around the TV on New Year's Eve to watch the countdown clock wind down and see everyone screaming. But if you're lucky enough you can go there in person and witness how loud and how crazy it gets. Maybe you could finally get your midnight kiss.

5. Popup Holiday Markets

Support small businesses! Come see what these vendors have to sell. There are markets in Bryant Park, Grand Central, Columbus Circle, and Union Square!

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.
