Here Are 10 Things I Want For Christmas

Dear Santa.

Dear Santa, Here are 10 things that I want for Christmas.


1. No Debt

All and any colleges student will agree with me on this is. Like who really wants any debt. Debt is terrible, debt is stupid, debt is like an annoying itch on your back that doesn't go away. I don't know if you you know Santa but in order for me to get a job, I have to have a college education? And that a college education costs me around $100,000... or more.


2. More Sleep

I am always so tired. Like no matter how much I sleep I am still tired. I need sleep. If I don't have sleep I am a grumpy troll from under the bridge. Me without sleep is one ugly thing.


3. The Ability To Eat Endless Amounts of Fried Food, Without Any Consequences.

Fried everything. French FRIES. FRIED Oreos. FRIED Chicken Nuggets. FRIED Cheese. All of the FRIED fair food. Please give it to me. Like I really love fried food but you know it is not the best for our bodies. I could probably eat more fried food if I wanted to but I don't want my body to hate me.

5. A Summer With Fewer Bugs.

The one thing I hate about summer is the bugs. I hate them so much! They are annoying and yeah I know they help us. But still please at least keep them out of my house and away from my body. I don't want fruit flies invading my kitchen and I don't want mosquitos eating my body.

6. For Everyone To Just Get Along.
With everything going on lately in the world most of us are just hoping for a moment or two of peace this year. No more wars, no more fighting just some peace would be nice for once.

7. A Satisfying Life
One thing I notice with older people is that most say is that they wish they did more of what they loved. So I want to do things that I love. I want a job where I can make some money, be happy and do what I love. I want to have a house, a family, dogs and a few kids. I want to be able to travel and experience new things.



8. Puppies
Who doesn't want a cute, sweet, fluffy, cuddly, fluffy puppy to love. And then when they grow up they are still cute but they become you best friend.

9. Money To Pay For My Monthly Rent
I don't know how much it costs to live in the North Pole but, how ever much it is you probably got it under control. Where I live, a roof over your head doesn't come cheap. And it definitely isn't always easy coming up with that money, when you have no money but have 9173238481 other bills to pay.



10. Time For Love

But it's not just the experiences you have, it's the people you have them with. As life becomes busier and more complicated, time becomes harder. And I wish it wasn't. If I could only have one thing this Christmas, it would be to spend time with the people I really love. It's a simple request, yet not always an easy one.


XOXO,

A 22-Year-Old College Student

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.
