Christmas is a time where everyone seems to always be in a happier, cheerful mood. It’s the time of year when everyone celebrates the season of giving and receiving. With that comes some fun things you should partake in when this time of year comes around and lucky for you I have put together of a list of the best things to do in this wonderful Christmas season!

1. Christmas tree shopping

What is Christmas without a cute decorated tree? Nothing! Grab your family or a group of friends and go hunting for that perfect tree to decorate your dorm or your house!

2) Decorating the tree

Of course, you need wonderful accessories to make your tree unique and sparkle just like you! Grab some fun, shiny ornaments and go to town on your tree!

3. Decorating the house or dorm

Making your house or dorm look festive will put you in the Christmas mood so fast! You don’t need much, just put up a Christmas tree and little miscellaneous decorations everywhere and you have got yourself a fun, Christmas themed place to make your heart feel happy around the holidays!

4. Wrapping presents

Go out and get some fun wrapping paper to personalize every gift you give! Nothing is better than giving someone a gift they love! Also, taking old shoe boxes and wrapping in them festive paper to put under the tree can be a fun way to decorate!

5. Christmas Albums

Everyone has their favorite artist’s album to listen too and it is now that time to blast that album as loud as you can! My album of choice is the Michael Buble album and believe me it is a wonderful Christmas album to put you in the spirit! Grab your favorite album and spread some Christmas cheer for all the dorm to hear!

6) Hot chocolate/Starbucks red cup

We all know hot chocolate is the best drink to indulge in during the winter and the one thing that makes it better is the infamous Starbucks red cup! Even if you just buy it once to take a cute insta pic or snapchat, it is worth it and totally adds to the Christmas spirit!

7) Cookie bake

Grab your closest friends or family and tell everyone to pick their favorite cookie recipe with all the ingredients and everyone can bake massive amounts of cookies all on the same day! It is such a fun bonding experience and plus who doesn’t love cookies?!

8) Homemade Christmas cards

I don’t know about you guys but I love making Christmas cards by hand! Honestly, just putting a heartwarming message on a handmade card and giving it to a friend, family member, or stranger will be sure to brighten their day! Go ahead and give it a try and see what happiness you can bring others!

9) Zoo lights

In Arizona, every year the Phoenix Zoo puts on an awesome light show where they decorate the entire zoo and put lights up everywhere! If you are a first-time Arizonian or a local native, zoo lights is one of the top things to do in the Christmas season (perfect for a first date too fellas!)

Enjoy the Christmas season and remember to always love one another and spread Christmas cheer!

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.
