After the stress of finals is released at the submission of your final paper, you pack up and hurry home, hoping to get as far away from school as possible. A few days later, your relaxation period has set in, but you may be finding yourself a bit bored—but if you're anywhere near Columbus, you're in luck! These five Columbus Christmas events are cheap fun for the whole family!

1. Easton Holiday Carriage Rides

Head over to Easton's shopping district and enjoy a carriage ride through the snow. Admission is $10 and rides run from 6 PM-10 PM on Friday and Saturdays until December 23 (if you have siblings under the age of 15, they ride for free!).

2. Merry & Bright Nights at the Franklin Park Conservatory

If you're a Columbus native, you've likely visited the conservatory while on an elementary school field trip—but this time around, you'll be searching for Christmas lights instead of foliage and butterflies. Admission runs from $7-$14, and holiday events crowd the FPC calendar. Breakfast with Santa, cookie baking with Mrs. Claus, gingerbread competitions, and musical performances fill up the entire month of December.

3. Grand Illumination of the Scioto Mile

Free of charge, the Scioto Mile is lit with over 200,000 lights for a Christmas display you don't want to miss. Bundle up, take a stroll through the mile's paths, and enjoy the lights.

4. Christmas Corner

Opening November 30 and running on select weekends throughout the holiday season, the Christmas Corner provides musical entertainment, hot chocolate sales, and a life-sized nativity.

5. "Christmas in Columbus: A Holiday Adventure" A Columbus Musical

Running from December 8-18 at 8:30 pm, plus Matinees at 3 pm on December 10, 11 and 18th at The Garden Theatre in the Short North is this original musical set in our town during the most enchanting time of the year. The plot? One of Santa’s elves has missed the Polar Express back to the North Pole and it’s up to some local children to show him all the magic our city has to offer in December. While this event is the most expensive on our cheap list (tickets for adults running for $20 and $12 for children), this show will provide fun for the whole family!

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.

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.
