To All Of The Grinches Out There, Stop Ruining My Christmas Fun

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.

It's November and that means it's CHRISTMAS SEASON. Listen, I'm not just jumping on some kind of bandwagon when I say I love Christmas- I LOVE Christmas. And I believe we should be able to deck those halls and kiss under mistletoe all year round without all this negativity.

Now I get it, "What about Thanksgiving? Let the turkey have its day!" blah, blah, blah. No one said anything about skipping the glorious Turkey Day, in fact, Thanksgiving is like a warmup for Christmas with all the family-time and the huge meals so trust me, no one forgets her. Plus, if you start rockin' around the Christmas tree now, the season can last so. much. longer.

I don't know about you, but spooky season FLEW by. I felt like I hardly had time to enjoy it because of midterms and everything else going on. But, as soon as November 1st hits, you had better believe I am ready to soak up as much Christmas spirit as I can in less than 2 months. I have all of November and by the time semester break rolls around, I am full-blown holly jolly.

Even if you don't like the winter season surrounding Christmas (who doesn't like sweaters, hot chocolate, and snuggles) there are still so many other aspects to enjoy. Spending time with friends and family, the beautiful decorations (whether they be cold and icy or warm with reds and green), giving gifts, movies, the religious side of the holiday, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Here's the thing, I won't bash you for waiting to celebrate until after Thanksgiving if you won't bash me for starting now. The people who throw the holiday in everyone's faces can be annoying (I'm here for it though) so I promise I'll try not to be that person. Just let people have their fun and do whatever makes them happy. If that means breaking out the flannel sheets the day after Halloween then that's what it means. If that means waiting until December 23rd to buy a tree then that's what that means. If that means watching Elf on repeat for 25 days then that is what it means and no one can do a thing about it.

There's only room for one grinch in this world so let me have my fun and go wait for your turkey to cook.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
