Top Five Winter Must Haves List
Myself

Tis' the season for your heat to be on, fireplaces, and hot cocoa.... Oh and don't forget your Christmas Decor! As the snow hits these next few days in Dayton (According to some weather apps anyway), I'm going to run through my top five favorite winter must haves with y'all so y'all can survive indoors this season!


1. A Lovely cup of Hot Cocoa...

I prefer the classic mix with marshmallows and then fluff, but just hot cocoa in general is always number one on the list of must haves. Make sure to use your favorite mug too! (tumblr_static_tumblr_static_99z9o8pnu144s0cs8kc44s0ss_640.jpg)


2. Blankets...


I don't know about y'all, but blankets are probably the best invention since Dinosaur Chicken Nuggets! They're so cozy and easy to take anywhere.


3. Movies... Lots & Lots of Movies!

Rather it's to be found on Netflix or demand, or even your movie shelf, movies are the best way to by pass your free time. Some good new to DVD's currently are The Secret Life of Pets & Finding Dory. Other ideas especially considering Christmas to be like 13 DAYS away, would be Netflixing Christmas Favorites.... You never know when you'll enjoy one of those.


4. Surprisingly, books....

As much as someone who just became free from finals from school, books are actually a good idea to add to the list. Books can go well with your mug of Hot Cocoa, and your cozy blankets as well! What a fantastic combo!


5. STARBUCKS!!!!!!

As usual as it is to see Starbucks everywhere now, this really is in my top five.Starbucks has the best and I mean the BEST Peppermint Mocha Fraps ever in my opinion. Of course that's just my opinion..... However Starbucks did make my list and considering they serve Hot Cocoa, it's a win-win kinda deal here.


So here it is, my top five winter list of pastime items. Decorating with Christmas decorations was my number six but other than that, I hope y'all enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

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.
