It's Never too Early for Christmas

Do you hear what I hear?

It's Never too Early for Christmas

Yes, I know it's only October. But, it's never too early to get into the Christmas spirit! It really is the most wonderful time of the year. Christmas time just has a wonderful, joyful, and exhilarating feeling to it. Everyone seems to be in a cheery mood (not if you work in retail...do not even get me started.) From the insane amounts of baking, the shopping, and everything in between, I just can't seem to get enough of this season. Here are 10 signs that you are SO ready for December and the Christmas season.

1. You already started building your Pandora and/or Spotify playlists to perfection. Make sure you have the Michael Buble Christmas album, I would 10/10 recommend.

2. You figured out what gifts you're going to get for the ones you love. It really is a great feeling seeing their faces light up when they unwrap your gift. Along with that, you're looking at your bank account wondering how you will afford everything. Hey, it's the holidays. It's okay to spend a little cash.


3. Christmas music isn't on the radio yet. Someone has got to keep the spirit alive! Left and right, people are politely telling you to shut up. According to Elf, the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.

4. Walking through the isles of the department stores gazing at all of the Christmas decorations. "Why do you want to go to Macy's?" "Oh, no reason...." GET PUMPED!!!


5. You cannot wait to start baking Christmas cookies. Baking, eating cookie dough, and spending time with your loved ones...what could be better? I don't know what's more fun: baking them, or actually eating them!


6. Watching Christmas specials of your favorite TV shows puts you in a great mood.

7. You want to watch all the old, classic Christmas specials play on TV. Honestly, I absolutely love watching the original Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer, and A Charlie Brown Christmas.


Oh my god, I want to watch this right now.

8. The thought of decorating your house/bedroom with Christmas decorations gives you the goose bumps. The lights, the mini tree you keep in the corner of your room, the Christmas scented candles....ahh...



9. You own multiple Christmas sweaters and cannot wait to wear them!! Someone please have an ugly Christmas party so I have an excuse to wear them. Wait, I don't need an excuse, just don't judge.


10. You can't wait to come together with your friends and family. After all, that is what Christmas is about. Whether it's watching movies or wrapping presents, Christmas is a wonderful time to be together.

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.
