Now that Halloween has passed and you have overcome your week-long hangovers, it is time to start packing up the 80's clothes and pumpkin spice lotions. Soon, pumpkins will be replaced with Christmas trees, and scarecrows with snowmen. All of your fall excitements will be subsided, and then your Holiday ones can surface. Besides, you only have about a month and a half left of first semester.

BUT, don’t forget! Each season calls for a list of “To-Do’s” and now it is time to make a winter one. No worries though, I have taken the liberty of putting one together for you.

1. Get Halloween candy on sale

Just because trick or treaters won't be stopping by, doesn't mean you can't stay stocked up on candy. You will have to reward your study sessions somehow.

2. Eat leftover Halloween candy

Who says you can't binge eat candy when it's not Halloween? The cravings are never irrational. Treat yo' self.

3. Diet before Thanksgiving

You already know you are going to be eating a couple gallons of cheesy potatoes within a matter of 24 hours. Might as well prepare, so you don't have to feel as bad while doing it.

After you finish your Halloween candy, of course.

4. Save up for Black Friday

THE BEST DAY OF THE YEAR (besides Christmas, of course). Not only do you get to shop, but you get to shop in the middle of the night for the best sales.

5. Decorate for Christmas

Time to take down your scarecrows and put up some lights. Who doesn't love the décor of Christmas?

6. Listen to Christmas music

Those Frank Sinatra and Mariah Carey playlists have been calling your name. Time to brush off the cobwebs and get to jamming.

7. Watch Christmas movies

Elf, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, A Christmas Story... Only the best movies ever. 'Nuff said.

8. Whip out the Christmas scents (just everything Christmas)

Like I said, time to pack up the pumpkin spice and take out the cinnamon spice. Nothing makes girls go as crazy as candles do.

9. Take out the Sorel's and parkas

By now you're probably sick of the flannels and bean boots. This is the perfect excuse to exchange closets and take on some new outfits.

10. Order peppermint mochas instead of pumpkin spice lattes

This one is for my fellow basic girls. Hit up your local Starbucks, and once again, treat yo' self.

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.
