Having a birthday on a holiday can either be amazing or, to be blunt, completely suck. For example, if your birthday lands on Christmas you could be one of the lucky few who get DOUBLE the gifts, or you could be like most people and get ripped off when it comes to gift giving. Although a Halloween birthday might not seem quite as bad, there is a fair share of events that make having a birthday near Halloween very unique - here's why.

1. People assume you're having a Halloween birthday party

Just because your birthday lands on Halloween doesn't mean your party has to be decorated with skulls and pumpkins. Your birthday party can hold any theme you want, because it is YOUR day!

2. Being so completely bombarded with candy that you can't even enjoy cake

As a kid, going trick-or-treating was the best part of Halloween. It was always the house that gave out full-size candy bars that had the most kids lined up. However, when your birthday lands near Halloween, eating all that candy doesn't leave much room for cake. Personally, I'd pick cake over candy any day, but sometimes it's hard having to choose between a Kit-Kat bar and a red velvet cupcake.

3. People automatically think you're haunted

Just because you're born on a day that honors the dead doesn't mean you're possessed or haunted! Maybe a little crazy, but that's just because you're a Scorpio.

4. Your birthday suit might have to be a costume

You might not be able to pull out your little black dress just yet. If your birthday party does happen to be a Halloween party it might be a little more fit to the theme to dress in a costume--unless of course, the sexy black dress is apart of your costume.

5. People forget why the day is so important

Because it's your day of birth!! Some people get so overwhelmed with the stress of what they are going to be and what their plans are that they might forget to come see you or even send you a happy birthday text.

6. You're not the only special one

Because everyone is dressed up and concerned with whether or not their costume is better than their friends, people forget to give YOU all the attention and love.

7. Once it's over, people only care about other holidays

Yes, I get it, Thanksgiving and Christmas are very important holidays. But hello, so is my birthday!!

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.
