11 Things To Love About Fall
Kaylyn Strange

I love cold weather! Any season where it's cold outside makes me jump for joy. My heart is happy when I can step outside and see my breath fog up in the air. Even though we're at the tail end of the summer and still have a month to go until autumn, here are 11 things to get you psyched about this coming season.

1. The Turning of the Leaves

The color of the trees speak for themselves their radiance and beauty.

2. Anything Pumpkin Flavored

Pumpkin butter. Pumpkin tea. Pumpkin granola. Pumpkin pasta sauce. Pumpkin chapstick. And of course pumpkin pie!

3. Bonfires

Bonfires are perfect for those days when the brisk wind blows and the leaves are falling. You can also roast marshmallows and make S'mores!

4. Fall Fashion

Scarves, sweaters, Uggs, mittens and gloves, hats, hoodies, jeans - need I go on?

5. Pumpkin Spice Lattes

We've already covered pumpkin flavored things, but pumpkin spice lattes deserve their own line on this list. Even on a bad day, a pumpkin spice latte can cheer me up.

6. Apple Orchards and Hay Rides

Apple orchards are the best! You can pick your own apples, drink hot apple cider, and some orchards even have hay rides.

7. Fuzzy Socks

As the weather gets colder, the nights grow dark sooner. Fuzzy socks can help make the darkness and cold a little more cheerful.

8. Hot Soup

There's nothing better than a bowl of hot soup on a cold autumn day.

9. Jumping in a Pile of Leaves

This is an autumn tradition that you won't want to miss - raking a bunch of leaves into a giant pile and then throwing yourself into mid-air on top of them!

10. Smelling the Crisp Autumn Air

Every season has a smell. You know the smell of autumn - crisp, earthy, with a hint of decaying leaves and smoke.

11. Going to the Pumpkin Patch

This activity never grows old. Even the adults, as well as the children, can have fun picking out the perfect pumpkin to display on their front porch.

I hope this list made you excited for this next season!

"A wind has blown the rain away and blown the sky away and all the leaves away, and the trees stand. I think, I too, have known autumn too long." - E. E. Cummings

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.
