Hello December And Happy Birthday!

Having a December birthday sometimes gets a bad rep because people believe that December babies get less gifts. However this is completely untrue.

1. On December 1st, Instagram becomes a welcome mat for "Hello December" photos. People decorate their pages with photos and tag their friends who share their birthday month with them!


2. You get some nice presents on your birthday and on Christmas. Some people believe that parents become lazy and tend to clump Christmas and birthday presents together. Most of the time, parents enjoy giving separate gifts for the two different occasions!


3. Friends and families are not working or in school so they are free to celebrate a birthday week! People make sure to celebrate and make the week more memorable than the one from last year!

4. The most amazing people are born in December!

5. Excitement! Towns are buzzing with excitement for the holidays. There are the sparkling lights and the houses that go all out for decorating contests.


6. The competition to have the best holiday birthday party. People are itching to have the best birthday/Christmas party so that when they go back to school after the new year they can compare with other friends that had a party as well.




7. Winter Break. Everyone knows that they begin counting down the days until winter break on December 1st. They are super excited to have time off to celebrate multiple birthdays with friends.



8. The food. Friends and family go full out in terms of their cooking when it comes to the holidays. They have more time to be creative with the food they choose to share with friends and family.



9. Beverages. Eggnog and Hot Chocolate. Need I say more?


10. Shopping. It becomes more fun to Christmas shop when your birthday is in December. Let's be real, having relatives means getting money!


11. Christmas is in December and therefore it is the most happy month of the year! There are plenty of holiday lights and people are generally in a great holiday spirit to celebrate a birthday and Christmas!

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.

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.
