Attention K-Mart Shoppers the following is only for the 21±. The holidays can be really stressful times for some. From putting everything together, to wrapping Christmas presents, sometimes we just need a Christmas hack for staying chillier than the weather. Here's how to survive Christmas:

Have Breakfast With Alcohol

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day so make it your bitch and cook whatever you want. Just be sure to add a side of your favorite booze.

Sit Down For A Second With Alcohol

Sometimes our minds can be dangerous and we need to de-clutter it. Why not do it with a beer or ten? I sometimes just stop what I'm doing and lay or sit down. I don't do anything, I just stare at the blank ceiling and once my mind surrenders and is calm, I continue on.

Give Yourself A Pep-Talk With Alcohol

Ban those negative thoughts and indulge yourself in good vibes. Look at yourself in the mirror and gaze into your own eyes. Use a phrase that you like and that motivates you.

Approach The Christmas Party With Alcohol

You won't be arriving to the party alone! You'll be accompanied by Jack Daniels and Captain Morgan. It's time to socialize and create memories and hope that you'll remember them in the morning.

The above is 47% satire. As always drink responsibly and in a safe environment. This time around can be stressful, but when you stop for a minute and regain your sanity you should be okay. Cha Cha on!

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.
