1) We're finally home!Usus

Finals are over! Plus we get to see our family and spend some time away from school. It's always nice to spend quality time with family in a more, relaxed setting and for a longer period of time. School is the last thing that we think about and it's refreshing to not have anything to worry about!

2) Family and Friends

For me, seeing family and friends is one of the best parts of break! It's nice to be able to catch up without worrying about deadlines and tests!

3) Vacation!

Usually, my family and I go somewhere during winter break. I love that almost everyone has a vacation period scheduled in and it makes it easier to go somewhere nice and have fun!

4) The Festive Atmosphere

The holiday spirit is amplified to the max! Tons of light displays, holiday festivals, spirited events are always a joy. Everyone's in a good mood and radiate warmth in the cold times. The holidays are just a joyful time that creates beautiful memories. It's an infectious atmosphere that makes everything just a little better.

5) Good Food

I'm super excited for the amazing food during break. I miss my mom's home cooked food and being able to eat with my family is one the things I miss. The hot, home cooked meal makes the cold, bleak days a thousand times better!

6) Christmas and New Year's!

I don't really celebrate Christmas, but I love that I still get presents! It's a lot of fun and plus Christmas decorations are super cute! New Year's is also an amazing time! It always makes me wonder how fast the years are going by!

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.
