As we approach my favorite holiday of the year, I thought I would share my top five list of holidays because every holiday deserves some recognition!

5. Valentines Day

Even when there is no special someone in my life, I love Valentine’s Day because it is an excuse to have the ladies over for a spa night! But if there is that special someone, pop the champagne and pick out some lovely roses because I want to spend every second with them.

4. Easter

Dressing up in pastels is always pretty high on my list so when Easter comes around I cannot wait because I know every single person will be doing it. Also, my family always has a great meal with some quality family time which I will never pass up.

3. Groundhog's Day

Honestly, half of the reason it is ranked so high on my list is because it is so underrated! Groundhogs Day tells me how soon spring will come which always makes me very happy is Poxatawny Phil does not see his shadow! Also, some of the stories about the poor groundhogs always make me laugh.

2. Christmas

Presents… but also I love the happiness that is brought around Christmas time. Everyone is a little more jolly when Christmas comes around which makes my days all the more merry and bright. Christmas cheer and songs brighten up the dreary winter days which is half of the reason winter is so bearable.

1. Fourth of July

Get pumped for a true pyromaniacs dream holiday. Honestly, my family goes all out for the Fourth and I am so excited for what this year's fireworks have to bring. Every single year I am so proud to be an American and watch the fireworks light up the skies and the parades march through.

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.
