Is It Too Soon To Begin Talking About The Holidays?

Yes, it may be crazy for me to look forward to the holidays as Halloween has not come yet. As the holiday season is upon us, it's important to remember some of the best holiday traditions each year. Each year some of my favorite holiday traditions consist of things that I've been doing with my family for years.

1. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

It's the one tradition that I love for Thanksgiving and look forward to watching it every year. It's a tradition for some families to see the parade in New York City. It's interesting to see who performs each year and who is showcased in the parade.

2. Black Friday Shopping

Every Thanksgiving, millions of people partake in the 'Black Friday' tradition, making sure they buy everything they need for the gift giving season. It can be dangerous for all, but every year people shop in stores or online. It is the season of shopping and spending money, but is it worth it going out over night to find the best deals?

3. The Changing Weather

This time of year the weather begins to take a turn for what most people say, the worst. It's when the leaves finish falling and then...BAM...snow. It's upon us. The cold weather will be here before any of us know it. It will be the time of year people are upset with the windy, chilly weather before the snow begins to fall.

4. The Holiday Movies

With Thanksgiving and Christmas sneaking up on us holiday lovers, we cannot wait for the movies that hit the Hallmark Channel come November. It's our favorite time of year for us theater-goers because all of the best movies of the year premiere during this time of year. Who is bringing the popcorn?

5. Holiday Music

It always feels like holiday music always debuts on the radio the day after Halloween, but am I complaining? No, of course not because I think it's worth listening to for two months straight. What? Yes, I think it is a little crazy for music to debut that soon, but people feed off of the music that is played. I hope that the music will start a little before Thanksgiving, but a person can only hope.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
