10 Fun Fall Activities To Do With Family And Friends
Artur Rutkowski

Fall is around the corner, and I can't wait for it! I love warm fall sweaters, apple cider, and all the fun that fall brings. I'm sitting here with my roommate day-dreaming about fall, so why not dedicate a whole article to the second most wonderful time of the year (with the first being Christmas)! Sit down, relax, and daydream with us about all the fabulous fun that fall will bring...

1. Go apple picking

Apple picking is a must for fall! Gather your roommates, friends, and family because the more people you bring, the more apples you can put in your pockets! (Sorry, but a bushel and a peck are very expensive for college students. If Doris Day loves you a bushel and a peck, you better believe that it's a lot!)

2. Go pumpkin picking

And after you pick the perfect pumpkin, watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" It's a classic and it will make you remember how much you disliked Lucy.

3. Watch football games

Saturdays are for the boys!

4. Decorate for Halloween

What's better than putting on a witch hat and decorating your house with fake spiders and spider webs? Nothing. The answer is nothing.

5. Buy a Halloween costume

I don't care how old you are because EVERBODY should dress up for Halloween! It's an excuse to wear the things you'd rather be wearing every other day of the year. (I would love to be a princess and wear a gown every day, but unfortunately, I have to conform to social standards to make it in this world.)

6. Buy a PSL from Starbucks

Every person becomes an Ugg boots-wearing, PSL-drinking white girl in the fall. It's inevitable.

7. Bake pies

Apple pie, pumpkin pie, blueberry pie... all pie warms the heart and soul!

8. Get lost in a corn maze

It's not fun if you don't get lost! It may take hours, but if you get hungry just grab some corn, husk it, and eat it!

9. Have a bonfire

I always love to make the fire myself, so I can show off to my friends that I don't live in the upstate New York woods for nothing.

10. Go out to dinner at Smalley's!

This is me at Smalley's Restaurant in Carmel, NY. It is my favorite restaurant that is supposedly haunted, so it is a favorite in my town for Halloween. This is an embarrassing picture of me in October of 2010 during my awkward middle school years. If you read this far in the article, you have the right to make fun of this picture of me. I wish that all of you have a fall as fun as I did back in 2010!

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.
