It's Never Too Early To Get In The Holiday Spirit

I literally shower in hot chocolate and I'm not sorry.

For those of you who are like me, you're probably already counting down the days until the holiday season and secretly listening to Christmas Music through your headphones. Trust me, I feel you. Honestly, people who hate on you for listening to Christmas music too soon are kind of the worst.

I don't care what they say, I'm still going to listen to "Believe" by Josh Groban at least once a day with no shame and it will never be the wrong time for "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey... No... I do not hate Halloween and I am NOT forgetting about Thanksgiving, I love ghosts and mashed potatoes just as much as the next girl.

I just like getting into the holiday spirit early, and that's okay!!

Thinking about the holiday season evokes happy memories of time spent with family and friends. There's no school!! If you are in college, you practically get a whole month off. Did someone say hot chocolate and movies? I have memories engraved in my mind of decorating my tree, eating too many cookies, and string lights reflecting on the snow.

I know the smells, the sights, and the feelings by heart and let me tell you, they're warm and fuzzy.

No, I'm not oblivious and I know that the holidays aren't equally as awesome for everyone, but there's still no point in being a total Grinch and making someone feel bad for being happy or just a little too enthusiastic about listening to Christmas music or anything else for that matter.

It makes them happy, so just let them be their jolly selves and take your negativity somewhere else because I'm going to be over here counting down the days in peace.

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.
