5 Reasons You CAN Start Celebrating Christmas
Currently Wearing

I don't know about you, but I just love love love everything about the Christmas season! I definitely get it from my mom, because she is just obsessed with Christmas. (You should see our house from November through January!) To be completely honest with you, if it was socially acceptable to leave Christmas decorations up all year I totally would! But it's not, so I start to decorate after halloween. I know, I know, it seems like I am skipping over Thanksgiving, but just hear me out in the next 5 reasons.


1. "Thankful" for the Christmas season

The Thanksgiving season is all about being thankful, right? Then isn't it okay to be thankful for the Christmas season?


2. It's just so joyful!

Christmas just makes me so so happy! All the lights and pretty colors just bring so much joy into life!


3. Christmas in college is limited

In college, you're not at school for very long during the Christmas season, so it's just best to make the most of your Christmas time at school. And what better time to start than right after Halloween!


4. Bringing others joy

With the semester coming to an end and the stress piling on as the days continue, Christmas spirit can be just what some people may need to bring a smile to their face!


5. Presents!!

Who doesn't like presents?! Personally, I love giving presents, and decorating for Christmas just means that it's appropriate for me to start present shopping!!

Christmas Christmas time is here, Time for toys and Time for cheer

Let's get into that thankful christmas spirit!!

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.
