You know those songs that just have that wintry feel to them? That's one of my favorite kinds of music — I love the relaxing, acoustic sound the songs have. I love listening to them while walking to class or doing homework at a coffee shop.

I've created a playlist on Spotify (feel free to listen) that consists of a total of 195 songs that I believe have that feel. That's a pretty large amount, so I thought I would shorten the list a little. Here are the songs, in no particular order, that in my opinion are the most essential to getting you through the colder months:

1. The Emotion by BORNS

2. Medicine by the 1975

3. Wash. by Bon Iver

4. Trouble by Cage the Elephant

5. Re: Stacks by Bon Iver

6. Blood Bank by Bon Iver

7. Poison & Wine by The Civil Wars

8. To Build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra

9. Youth by Daughter

10. Little Lady - Mikill Pane by Ed Sheeran

11. One by Ed Sheeran

12. U.N.I by Ed Sheeran

13. St Jude by Florence + The Machine

14. Falling by Florence + The Machine

15. Someone New by Hozier

16. Take Me to Church by Hozier

17. reunite by Isbells

18. Somewhere Only We Know by Keana

19. Small Hands by Keaton Henson

20. Ribs by Lorde

21. Slow It Down by The Lumineers

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.

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.
