Holiday Shopping is Here! Are You Ready?

The Holidays are here! Whether that means you are filled with the joy and love that the holidays are supposed to bring or you are filled with the dread of spending all the money that you have saved up, you can't deny that there is something special in the air as the holidays approach. As Black Friday comes to a close, I figure, what better way to kick off the first traditional week of holiday shopping than with a list of feelings we all have when we are all shopping for the most wonderful time of the year?

1. When you find the perfect gift for someone

2. Trying to find parking at your local mall or shopping center


3. Finally finding said parking spot then having someone take it right out from under you

4. Walking into the mall and knowing that you might see what hell looks like

5. When a store is too crowded and you decide to nope the hell out of there

6. When you see a fight break out in a store

7. But then you start to take a side and secretly cheer them on

8. When you only have one more person on your list

9. You're finished! You are finally done with holiday shopping!

10. But then you realize you have to face the wrath of the parking lot again

So, whether you are absolutely pumped to find that perfect gift, or you are dreading the mere thought of being around the masses of people who are all there for the same reason, it's always important that we remember the real reason for the holidays, and that is to be with the people we love. When you go holiday shopping this season, be respectful to other people and keep in mind that when it is all said and done, you don't have to worry about doing it again for a whole year!

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.
