Tis The Season For Holiday DIY Projects
Crazy Frankenstein

December is officially here and in full swing which means let the decorating begin!! Christmas is such a great time to get together with family or friends with cups of hot chocolate and candy canes to make the cutest holiday decor for your home!!

1. Your Very Own Frosty the Snowman.

Start out by taking a sock and fill it about halfway with crumpled paper. Then take a rubber band and tie it off in the middle. Afterwards, continue to fill the rest of the sock and then once again tie off the top with a rubber band. Next, take some Sharpies to draw on the buttons, eyes, and smile!


2. Easy Christmas Tree Cutouts.

Using green colored paint cards from the hardware store, draw the outline of a Christmas tree and the cut them out. You can tape them on doors or hole punch the tops of them to string them together to make a hanging decoration!


3. Jamming With Your Rein(peers).

Need some great holiday music but don't know where to start? Spotify and Apple Music are great places to start! Even ask your friends what their favorite holiday tunes are and put together a playlist that includes everyones favorite Christmas tunes.


4. Christmas Cookies!

Let's be real. All anyone needs to bake cookies a pack of Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie mix, icing, food coloring, and Christmas cookie cutters. Then there's the part of hiding all the cookies before you eat them all.


5. Gingerbread House Contests.

The best way to get into the Christmas spirit with friends is to have a good, old-fashioned fun ginger bread house contest. Local stores always have kits available and they make the perfect activity for all ages.

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.

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.
