You know those people that get super offended when you celebrate Christmas before Thanksgiving? Ah. If that is you, I wouldn't read this or you may not be happy with me (this is all out of love and light hearted humor, I promise. Pls forgive me).

Here are 5 ways I will DEFINITELY be celebrating Christmas before Thanksgiving:

1. CHRISTMAS MUSIC

If this makes you cringe, have no fear. I don't just listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving. I listen to it before Halloween, before Labor Day, before Fourth of July, Easter. Essentially, you can catch me dancing to All I Want for Christmas is You all. year. long. I have no shame in my Christmas jam game.

2. Christmas tree? Oh you bet.

I don't just put my tree up before Thanksgiving, I put it up, decorate it, dance around my living room, take pictures of it, all the works. You can FOR SURE count on me to have my Christmas tree up, and I sure will stare at my beautiful tree whilst eating my wonderful Thanksgiving food.

3. Wow, the Christmas socks.

First of all, you can complain to me about celebrating Christmas before Thanksgiving when Target has $1 Thanksgiving socks. Do they? No. OH, but do they have Christmas socks RIGHT NOW? Yes and you bet your little soul I will be stylin' and profilin' my Santa and Snowman socks all around campus with a big smile on my face.

4. Christmas Festivities?

YOU GOT IT. I will literally be at everything possible. I will be extra. $40 to see some lights? I'll be there. $4 for some hot chocolate? Ha. Everyday. I'm so extra that it could not even feel like Christmas outside and you better believe in my world it will be. Colbie is having a whole Christmas season, y'all do y'all.

5. I don't even like movies, but Christmas movies are a whole different story.

I will watch Elf at LEAST 43 times this holiday season, and it starts now. I clearly don't have enough time to watch it that many times AFTER Thanksgiving, right? I mean anyways, they already started the countdown to Christmas movies on tv or something, didn't they? Christmas movies are a must, and I will enjoy them for as long as I can.

Needless to say, I think it is hilarious how upset some people get about this. I love it. & not in a mean, sarcastic way, but I THOROUGHLY enjoy watching people argue through the topic of Christmas before Thanksgiving.

Ah, I sure am THANKFUL for CHRISTMAS.

(Disclaimer: I adore Thanksgiving as well, though hard to believe).

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
