Yes, It's Time For Christmas
Annika Soderfelt

" Why are you listening to Christmas carols? It's not even Thanksgiving yet. Give turkey day is chance!"

Here's my life philosophy, it's never too early to start celebrating for Christmas. Growing up I used to have traditions of my family that folder on Thanksgiving break, but, as I've gotten. Thanksgiving no longer holds the traditional significance that are used to. Because of this, it flies under the radar when it comes to celebrating holidays. I'm a firm believer in Christmas carols starting November 1 night because I've forgotten about November and Thanksgiving, but because there aren't any Thanksgiving carols and by the time Halloween is over, I am ready to start getting festive for something, the weather has turned cold, and i'm ready to be in a holly jolly mood. Not only is it the season of joy, but it's like Thanksgiving to. A special emphasis on giving and being thankful for what you had throughout the year, but this time, there are carols, hallmark (and Netflix) romantic movies, hot cocoa, presents to and from loved ones, and so much much.

There are so many variations of this December holiday, but in one way or another, it seems like the whole world is celebrating in their own special way. It's a day during we forget our troubles of the year and just focus on what it means to be alive. Sure, if they have become commercialized over the years, but it's true roots remain. It's a time for love, family, and Santa Claus! So no, I will not stop singing Christmas carols before Thanksgiving because there's just too much excitement for this holiday to wait until late November. :)

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.

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.

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.
