It's after Halloween, and so the most common question being asked is when is the right time to start playing Christmas music? I've heard it on the radio, on talk shows, and even between classmates. Each person has their own very strong opinion. Here are the different levels of people who listen to Christmas music.

1. The Hater

This person does not want to hear Christmas music at all- especially in the month of November. MAYBE they will allow it on Christmas eve and Christmas day, but never before or after.

2. The Decemberist

They consider the best time to start listening to this genre of music to be on December 1st. Maybe they think that they will get sick of it if they start listening any sooner. Most likely they want to keep Christmas music special and only want it to be played during the 25 days leading up to Christmas.

3. The Holiday Appreciator

Why wait until December when you can start listening to Christmas music the day after Thanksgiving?? Thanksgiving is the last holiday before Christmas, so this must be the perfect time to start listening to Christmas music, or so that is what this person thinks. They want each holiday to have their own day to shine. They think that if you start playing Christmas music before Thanksgiving, then the Thanksgiving holiday could be overlooked.

4. The Loyalist

Then there is the person who declares November 1st as the perfect day to start listening to Christmas music. Right after Halloween, after you have heard the monster mash 100 times in a row, they go directly to the cheerful and lovey music of the Christmas season. This person adores the Christmas spirit and wants to make the most of it while also trying to be a little conservative about when they start playing the tunes of a holiday that is two months away.

5. The True Believer

Finally, we have the person who puts us all to shame (or annoys the heck out of us). They think that there is never a bad time to listen to Christmas music. They have decided that it should be normal to listen to it year round. You might get into their car in May and they could be blasting one of the many versions of Jingle Bell Rock. You know this person and you love them for their uniqueness but you are also annoyed when they insist on playing a genre of music when it is boiling hot.

So, which one are you?

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.
