It's the most wonderful time of the year! As if we didn't need another excuse to drink, we have the holidays. Though they're different for everybody, there are some things we can all count on, and what better way to come together during this truly magical time of year than to drink about it? So, whether you're dreading every family interaction, or you're loving every minute of your newfound freedom, I present to you: The Ultimate Christmas Eve (or Day-- it's multi-functional) Drinking Game!

Take a shot/sip/drink/chug like there's no tomorrow every time you:

-Hear a racist/sexist/ignorant comment from a family member

-Are asked about your love life (or lack thereof) by a family member

-Are asked about school by a family member

-Are asked about your plans after college by a family member

-Are asked about graduation by a family member

-Turn the tables and ask your relatives awkward, unanswerable questions about their lives

-Experience some kind of family drama

-Are depressed that you no longer believe in Santa

-Reminisce about old Christmases

-Pretend to like a gift you actually hate

-Pretend to like food you actually hate

-Have to awkwardly greet relatives you only see once a year

-Awkwardly interact with any member of your family

-Hate yourself for over-eating

-Hate yourself for over-drinking

-Interact with an inappropriately drunk relative

-Realize how truly crazy your entire family is

-Realize how not little your little cousins are

-Realize how you used to be the little cousin and are now an adult (When did that happen?!)

-Unexpectedly bond with a relative

-Hear a Christmas song

-Hear that same Christmas song on repeat 40 times

-Sing a Christmas song

-Unwrap a gift

-Give someone a gift

-Unexpectedly get a gift you love

-See someone fall asleep at the table

-Can't hear yourself think over how loud it is

-Hear a story about a time before you were born

- Smile and nod through a particularly terrible conversation

-Hear someone mention snow, the cold, the weather

-Hear someone talk about politics

-Remember you could still be sitting in the library studying for finals

-Realize how truly grateful you are for the giant web of crazy that is your family during the holidays

AI music threatens creativity

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.
