Why I Love The Holiday Season So Much
History-Christmas

For me, December has always been one of my favorite months of the entire year! It's such a joyful time of year, and I seriously have a countdown on my phone until the Christmas season officially begins. I hate that this small month of happiness goes by quicker than the rest, but I still love that all these things come along with it being the Christmas season!

1. Watching Elf on repeat

This movie wins for the all time best Christmas movie. It's my family's favorite, and we love watching it over and over again and quoting it word for word. This movie never gets old!

2. Nutcracker Season

As a dancer, Christmas without Nutcracker really just isn't Christmas to me. I've never even seen the Nutcracker because I've only ever performed it, but everything from the music to the dancing just puts me in the Christmas mood!

3. Much needed family time

During the months leading up to December, it is a whirlwind of finals, stress and lots of school work. The thought of Christmas means the time of relaxation and stress-free time with your family and friends, which is another wonderful part of the Christmas season!

4. AMAZING food

As a college student, being two hours away from home, means I don't get to cook or eat homemade meals very often. But, going home means getting to eat some well known Christmas foods your family may make, mine being AMAZING cut out cookies! Definitely something I am looking forward to most.

Last, but certainly not least...

5. Christmas Music!!!

I swear, I started listening to my Christmas Spotify channel in October. I love when it finally hits December because then people stop judging me for listening to christmas music while exercising or studying, lol.

I can't wait for the holiday season! Get excited because it is finally here and all of these things and more will happen making it to be one of the best Christmases yet! And don't forget to start listening to your holiday music and just celebrating, because it's never too early!!!

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.
