The fall season is around the corner, less than a week away to be exact, and I'm extremely excited. I always look forward to the fall and winter for several reasons. But, here are my top 12 reasons why I love the fall.

1. Clothing options are great.

I LOVE oversized sweaters, comfortable leggings, fall accessories, scarves, and boots. Fall and winter clothing is comfortable and shopping for them is also fun.

2. You can walk around without worrying about catching fire.

No more sweaty trips around campus. With all of the construction on campus and the random hills, you'll definitely break a sweat or two. The fall means cooler weather, making the walks doable.

3. No humidity.

I have curly hair which means humidity and my hair are enemies. In the Fall, I can walk around with straight our naturally curly hair with no worries.

4. Texas weather takes a chill pill in the fall.

If you've lived in Texas, you have witnessed multiple seasons in one day. But, in the Fall it's a little less crazy and a little colder.

5. We get to say goodbye to the mosquitoes

I consider myself a mosquito magnet so during the fall, we take a break.

6. Longhorn football.

Sadly, we don't always win but the traditions that come with the football games make them memorable.

7. Tea, coffee, and lattes.

Besides PSL, being able to drink hot beverages is comforting.

8. Halloween

There's definitely different ways to enjoy it as a child and an adult. Besides, it's also my little sister's birthday.

9. The Holidays...

It's a time where it's acceptable to have a count down for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years!

10. ... and the food that comes with them.

I get the best of all 3 worlds: American, Salvadorian and Mexican. From turkey and stuffing to tamales and Salvadorian sandwiches, holiday food is absolutely my favorite and I don't mind paying the price in a few extra pounds.

11. Winter break

The month we get in December and January gives me time to relax and just enjoy the break with my family and friends.

12. In the rare occasion: Snow

It's rare when it snows in Texas but it's nice when it's done.

What's your favorite thing about Fall?

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.
