From drinks to scarves bigger than my bed.

HP1: Things That I Love During The Holiday Season

The holiday season means that things we can't necessarily get our hands on all year make a comeback, whether it be your favorite drink or sweater that you love so much that you actually consider wearing it in the summer. I have my own assortment of holiday "things" that I spend the rest of the year counting down to, and while most of them are very basic, it's important to remember that there is beauty in simplicity.

Blanket scarves

There's nothing better that wrapping yourself in a scarf that could be the comforter for your bed. Not only are they warm, but you look like one of those cool people that get to walk the streets of New York every day. You know, the ones that hate you when you visit there.

Hot chocolate

Nothing beats hot chocolate during a brutal winter. My taste buds get so sick of apple cider and pumpkin after a while, so that first hot chocolate of the season helps me evolve into the holiday-obsessed person that I am.

Why does a picture of a Christmas tree make a cookie taste that much better? I don't know, but it does. If anyone has the science behind this, please fill me in.

Holiday socks

During the holiday season, it's almost a guarantee that I'm sporting festive socks inside of my shoes. I feel like I'm making a difference when I wear them during this celebratory time.

Winter candles from Bath and Body Works

Yes, I am one of those people that has a mild candle obsession. Okay, it might be on the verge of severe, but you can't go wrong with these candles. Marshmallow Fireside is my absolute favorite, with Marshmallow Peppermint right behind it.

Menchie's Frozen Yogurt seasonal flavors

Menchie's is delicious on its own, but throwing in some festive flavors takes it to a whole new level. Spiced Gingerbread Cookie literally tastes like Christmas. I'm patiently waiting to try the peppermint bark flavor.

BOOMCHICKAPOP's holiday flavors

Who knew popcorn could become a delicious dessert? I could eat an entire bag of this stuff in one sitting. And maybe I know this because I have.

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.
