Social Power Hour

Everyone has a favorite season. Some enjoy winter; they like the cold weather, freshly fallen snow and Christmastime. Others love spring; they enjoy seeing the rebirth of life: the baby birds and blooming flowers. Others like the sweltering heat of summer; they enjoy trips to the beach and grilling fresh burgers and veggies. Others love fall; they love the crisp air, the changing leaves and the overall romanticized atmosphere of autumn. Even if fall is not your favorite season, here are 13 reasons why you should look forward to this upcoming season.

1. Cooler Weather

Even those who love the heat of summer get tired of the constant 90-degree heat. Fall brings in cooler temperatures that make the days more enjoyable.

2. Changing Leaves

Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year. The world becomes painted in vibr�ant red, oranges and golds. This is something everyone can look forward to.

3. Leaf jumping

You are never too old to embrace your inner kid and jump into a giant pile of leaves, as demonstrated by this adorable puppy!

4. Fall festivals

No fall festival would be complete without a hayride!

5. Pumpkin and Apple Picking

Nothing says fall like freshly picked produce!

6. Pumpkin Flavored Everything!

One of my favorite drinks from Starbucks is the pumpkin spice latte. I am counting down the days until it returns!

7. Bonfires

There is nothing better than sitting next to a bonfire and roasting marshmallows for s'mores on a chilly autumn night.

8. Returning to School

As an English major who loves school, I enjoy returning after the long summer break to take interesting literature classes, live on campus and see familiar faces!

9. Football Games

Nothing screams school spirit like attending a football game in the fall!

10. Decorating

There's not anything more fun than decorating your home or dorm for fall, the holidays, etc.

11. Halloween

Halloween is a great day to dress up, hand out candy and watch scary movies!

12. Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday of eating great food and spending time with friends and family.

13. Christmas is just right around the corner!

I know what you're thinking. Christmas is in December, which is in the season of winter. After fall comes winter. After Thanksgiving comes Christmas. As someone who loves Christmas and decorates soon after Halloween, this is a reason to look forward to fall!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
