It's Never Too Early To Start Getting Into The Christmas Spirit
Jaclyn's Cookies

It's November 1st, and I am already starting to see Christmas decorations going up around Omaha, whether it's little things at a mall or a giant light up Christmas tree on 90th and Dodge. I am not one to complain about the best holiday starting early. Plus, it flurried yesterday.

I, 100 percent, believe that the holiday season makes people happier. I don't know if it's the cheerful music, peaceful snowfalls, everything is red and green, Starbucks having Christmas flavor drinks, the joy of giving, etc., but everyone just seems to be in a brighter mood.

I cannot wait to hear Christmas music on the radio when I am switching between stations. I cannot wait to go Christmas present shopping and to get my friends and family gifts that are sure to put a smile on their face. I cannot wait to have snowball fights and to go sledding and do other winter activities. I cannot wait to curl up with a super soft blanket and drink hot chocolate.

I know we still have Autumn around, and we should appreciate that while it's still here. Thanksgiving is coming up, and we absolutely have to appreciate all the good food we get to eat. Plus, Thanksgiving is the beginning of Christmas season for sure. Santa even makes an appearance at the end of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The point is, Thanksgiving makes you love your family and friends, and that begins the happiness of the holiday season.

Christmas lights are about to go up, and it will be so beautiful to drive around and see them. Christmas is lit. So sit back and wait eagerly for Thanksgiving, and try to hold in all the excitement about 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.

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.
