30 Thoughts We All Have During the Holidays
Katie Messina

As the 2016 holiday season approaches, we all prepare ourselves for the food, the gathering of family, the ambiance of the holidays, and the same thoughts we have every year. No worries, we are all having the same thoughts so don't feel like you are the only one! Here's 30 thoughts we all have during the holiday season:

1. It better snow on Christmas.

2. Is it time to eat yet?

3. I really hope the turkey is better than last year.

4. There better be leftovers or my entire week is ruined.

5. I really hope I get a good seat at the dinner table.

6. Is it time to go home yet?

7. I swear if they ask me one more time how school is going I'm going to lose it. (for all you college kids)

8. And how many times do I have to tell them that I still don't have a boyfriend?

9. How much more food can I possibly eat?

10. Why didn't I wear sweatpants? I'm going to explode out of these pants.

11. Did I remember to bring all of the presents?

12. Time to figure out who got me for secret Santa without anyone knowing I'm looking for them.

13. How can I be at three different places at once?

14. When is it acceptable to dig into dessert?

15. Mariah Carey's Christmas album is still and always will be the best.

16. Can we just open presents already?

17. Who wraps presents with this much tape??

18. I hope I make it to the city to see the tree this year.

19. I really hope grandma doesn't catch me stealing her Christmas cookies again.

20. Well, I helped her make them so I deserve to steal some cookies, right?

21. Even though I'm not a kid anymore Christmas morning is still the best morning of the year.

22. Who cares if this is my third serving of mashed potatoes? It's a holiday!

23. Is it acceptable to get drunk at a time like this?

24. There really is not enough time in the day to see every single family member.

25. I wonder who gets to dress up as Santa this year.

26. How are we going to fit all these people at the dinner table?

27. I wonder if I'll have to sit at the kid's table again.

28. I really love this time of year.

29. And I really love my crazy, wonderful family.

And finally,

30. Is it time to eat yet? Because this thought crosses our mind way more than we will ever admit.

Happy Holidays!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
