If you were ever born on Christmas you probably have a love/hate relationship being born on that day. You of course LOVE Christmas but sometimes there is a struggle sharing it on a day everyone is busy. These are the truths about being a christmas baby...

1. The different reactions you get when you tell someone you were born Christmas Day

The initial reaction everyone makes upon asking when your birthday, there is usually a pause because they don’t realize that it is Christmas day yet but when they do they either think its the coolest birthday in the world or ask you how much it sucks being born that day.

2. Certain birthdays you’d rather be out doing something more rather than sitting at home

You enjoying getting to spend time with your family but on important birthdays, for example your 21st, you’d rather be at the bar with friends.

3. You have to share your "big" day.

Since you're born on a day where everyone gets a gift you don’t feel as special. While you open all your birthday gifts someone else is opening a gift that same time so the attention isn’t always on you, sadly.

4. Everyone can’t wait for your birthday (Christmas)

Okay so maybe everyone isn't waiting a whole 365 days to celebrate my birthday but I like to pretend.

5. You’re most likely the oldest out of your friend group

Since I was a “late baby” I missed the cut-off date for when you can start kindergarten. This makes me the oldest out of all my friends which is either a good or bad thing. Its a good thing because I was always the first one to do things. For example, I had my license before everyone, I was able to do certain things without a parents consent and I’m going to be the first one legally able to purchase booze for everyone. It can be a bad thing because you just feel old. Having friends that were October/November babies meant they were turning the age you already have been for almost a year.

6. SCHOOL'S OUT

You know no matter what you are off from school and stress free. You get to just sit back, relax and enjoy your day worry free!

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.

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.

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.
