Christmas is finally right around the corner and I couldn't be more excited! Here's a list of things to look forward to this Christmas season!

1. Christmas lights!

One of the highlights of Christmas time is all the beautiful lights on buildings and on the trees. There's honestly nothing more beautiful!

2. Hot chocolate & Christmas cookies galore!

Christmas time is all about the sweets, and don't mind if I do!

3. THE Christmas Agenda.

Think of all the fun activities you get to do at Christmas time!

4. Family time!

The best part of Christmas is spending it with the ones I love and focusing on laughing, loving and having fun!

5. Traditions!

Christmas time has some of my favorite traditions and I look forward to them all year long!

6. Christmas songs on repeat.

You already know that I have Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, and Frosty the Snowman on repeat.

7. Christmas movies all day every day.

Watching the good ol' Christmas classics never gets old!

8. Peppermint flavored everything.

Peppermint hot cocoa and Peppermint bark are 2 of my favorite things!

9. Starbucks holiday cups.

Isn't it funny how much joy one red little coffee cup can bring?

10. No school!

3 weeks with no school, no homework, no tests, no alarm?! Are you kidding? This reason alone is reason enough to love the holiday season!

11. Presents!

You can't dispute the fact that ripping open your Christmas presents is one of the most satisfying feeligns in the world.

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.
