10 Times I Felt Just Like Buddy The Elf

Buddy the Elf is my spirit animal. He is also the kind of person I strive to be--relentlessly enthusiastic, positive beyond belief, and genuinely happy to be alive. Plus, he's the only person on the planet who can rock yellow tights flawlessly. Because Elf is the greatest Christmas movie ever and the holiday season is in full swing, here are ten times I have felt just like Buddy the Elf.

1. Trying to pet cute animals even though they don't want to be touched.

But he was so fluffy, I had to! Haha don't kill me!

2. Having the time of my life in a spinning door.

Yea I'm 21. And yea, I love spinning in a fuc*ing spinny door.

3. Basically shi**ing my pants when I see Santa in the flesh.


You would think the excitement would dim after all these years, but it only grows stronger with every passing moment.

4. Taking a chance and expressing my love through song.


It's the hardest thing I'll ever do, but I've gotta. There just isn't any other way.

5. Beating punk ass kids in a maj snowball fight

Fu*k those kids, amirite?

6. The epic commute to anywhere er' day

Every day is a struggle.

7. Living my full truth on the streets of NYC

Might as well.

8. Overstepping boundaries ever so slightly.

I just love a little too hard for people sometimes...

9. Never really knowing when to step on the escalator.


Every time I'm about to step on one, I have a mini panic attack.

10. Getting schwasted and partying like the true animal I am

At work, no less.

There is a little Buddy the Elf in all of us. May he shine as bright as the morning sun in both our hearts and souls, and may his happiness permeate us infinitely. And most importantly, may we never, ever, forget: the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.

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.
