Halloween is in the past and Thanksgiving is near, but the ONLY thing you can think of is Christmas. You imagine the semester being over, going home and enjoying the holidays. Your mind is skipping a holiday, Thanksgiving, but you don't care. Here are 15 signs that you're ready for Christmas cookies and hot chocolate.

1. On November 1st, you automatically started listening to Christmas music.

2. You're already thinking about getting an ugly and tacky Christmas sweater.

3. Seeing Christmas decorations at the store brings you joy.

4. Or you already bought a Christmas tree and decorations.

5. Instead of thinking about Thanksgiving food, you want to know what your family is making for Christmas.

6. You're excited for the Starbucks holiday cups.

7. You started buying hot cocoa, even though it's hot outside.

8. And you're ready to make Christmas cookies.

9. You started dressing up your pets in sweaters and hats.

10. You started buying Christmas-scented candles.

11. You have a secret Christmas countdown.

12. You started a DIY holiday-themed board on Pinterest.

13. You're already watching Christmas movies on Netflix.

14. You're hoping for a white Christmas, even though it's Texas, so it doesn't snow.

15. Most importantly, knowing that you're going home (after a long semester) for the holidays and seeing your family and loved ones keeps you motivated.

Before you know it, the holidays will be here, then another whole year of waiting for the season to come. If you haven't already, start your Christmas countdown and get into the holiday spirit!

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.
