Everyone has a fear in life; for some people it is spiders, dying alive or clowns, but for me it is Santa. Ever since I remember, I have been afraid of the man. The childhood phenomenon of Santa and the belief in Christmas is a magical experience for most children. It honestly taunts me in my sleep. Even at 20, I still cannot get over the fear of the Santa. Here are some reasons why Santa is one of the scariest people alive:

**Yes, this listicle was terrifying to make because I had to look up pictures of Santa on Google**

1. The beard

Duck Dynasty and ZZ Top are okay, but the white beard is just creepy

2. Why is he so happy all of the time?

"Jolly old Saint Nicholas"

3. “He sees you when you are sleeping”

That is just creepy

4. The red suit

No, just no; even if it isn't Santa. Just too creepy.

5. He sneaks into your house when you are sleeping

...AND that is why at my house we enclosed out chimney (not because of a leak or something)

6. At the mall, he always looks so angry and grumpy

RUN!!

7. You never hear about any of his friends

Wow, that's cool. He gets to be friends with a snowman, reindeer, penguin and other mythological creatures like a Christmas tree

8. There are so many movie spin offs, from The Polar Express to Elf

You just don’t know what to believe anymore.

9. He drives a sleigh

What if there isn't snow on the ground or you live in a tropical part of the world? Does he still drive one? It's too complex.

10. The Naughty and Nice List

That is bullying, Santa. What is the criteria anyways?

In the end, just believe and have some Christmas spirit and all else will be fine.

But then again, that cursive is kind of creepy...

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
