3 Ways to Spend Fall Break

Fall has officially begun but so have midterms. Don't let this discourage you! Fall break will be here before you know it! Here's a short list of ways to have an exciting break and participate in this season's festivities. Bonus: many of these ideas are inexpensive!

1. Visit A Pumpkin Patch or Apple Orchard

Nothing says fall quite like pumpkin pie and apple cider. Grab your friends or family and go apple or pumpkin picking. Many pumpkin patches offer other attractions like a corn maze, hay rides, and some even have haunted houses. This is a great way to spend a day with quality people without spending an enormous amount of money!

2. Go Downtown

Many bars and restaurants have fall deals going on, including limited time only options. Stop in and check out what they're serving. Bar scene not your style? Downtown has a wide variety of options for you to pick from. Many places will host costume parties, have haunted tours, and ghost story tellings. Regardless of you plan to do, you'll get to enjoy your beautiful city.

3. PSL and Chill


Gather your friends, grab your favorite fall drink (mine happens to be the caramel apple spice from Starbucks) and tune into Netflix for a night of scary movies. Or binge watch Stranger Things to see what all the hype is currently about. There's nothing more relaxing or funny than yelling "Boo" when you know your friends are freaked out. Plus, there's no better Halloween movie than Hocus Pocus.

Midterms are stressful, but try to keep your spirits up. There are many fun things that you can do without spending a lot of money! Staying festive will also help you manage your stress and fall break will allow you to relax for a few days! Hang in there!

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.
