The Pumpkin Spice Latte is back for the year, folks, and that means we're officially in "seasonal mode". If you're looking to spice up your living space with some new scents and colors, here's your go-to guide:

Candles

Giphy

If your living space allows it, candles are a great way to warm your home with the scents for the season. My personal favorite are the 3-wick candles from Bath and Body Works. There's constantly sales going on for these, so be sure to subscribe to their emails for those coupons. If your dorm doesn't allow candles, no worries! The wallflowers are also a great choice to give your room a nice touch of fall.

Decorations

Giphy

Get the Command Hooks ready, because now is the time to get your decorating gears in motion! Most colleges have a department store nearby, and they'll most likely have all the decorations you need. Target has some of my favorite fall decorations, with most of them being in the front sale section. Check them out here!

Spice Up Your Food

Giphy

If you like Pumpkin, you've probably already had a few Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks. Released earlier than usual this year, these drinks get everyone in the fall spirit. If you're not into Pumpkin flavoring, incorporating apple and cinnamon flavors into your foods and drinks is a great way to add a seasonal touch. Check out some of my favorite fall recipes here!

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.
