11 Reasons To Look Forward To Fall

Summer has been great, but all this super heat and humidity is really making me excited for the season change. With fall coming around the corner, here are 15 reasons I can not wait for it to arrive.

1. ALL PUMPKIN EVERYTHING.

My favorite seasonal flavor will be making a comeback! Pumpkin pie, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin EVERYTHING!

2. Scenery

As the seasons change, so do the colors of the leaves. The fall foliage creates breath taking views on drives, hikes and walks. A sight great enough to make anyone excited for fall.

3. Halloween

A holiday favorite, a time to dress up as your favorite monster, super hero, or super provocative nurse, nun ect.. Also a great time for tricks and treats!

4. Hayrides

Be it a haunted hayride, or a simple leisurely hayride to the pumpkin patch fall is the best time to sit a wagon full of hay and get pulled around by a tractor!

5. Apple Cider


Another delicious seasonal treat! As all the apples come into harvest season, apple cider is a great way to warm yourself up in the cool weather!

6. Sweater Weather

Fall calls for sweater weather (AKA the best weather)! A time when its not so cold you have to bundle up in gear from head to toe, and it's not so hot that you want to wear as little as appropriate, but right in the middle! Sweater weather is just cool enough to stay cozy in your favorite sweaters.

7. New tv shows, and new seasons

New seasons of your favorite shows will be returning in the fall, I know it seems like you've been waiting FOREVER- now it's just a short short wait.

8. Thanksgiving

A time for family to get together and remember what they are thankful for (as a time to pig out on some good home cooked food!)

9. No Shave November

This new tradition is suppose to bring awareness to men's health, but it s a fun way for the boys to compete, and even better for the ladies who love a good beard!

10. Hockey Season!

goodbye baseball season, it has been nice- but move over- It's time for hockey season!

11. Apple Picking

Cozy up in your favorite vest, and head to the apple orchard with some friends! Not only is apple picking a great fall favorite, but the aftermath of goodies is a plus too!

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.
