4 Reasons Fall Is The Best Time Of Year

I may be slightly addicted to pumpkin lattes.

4 Reasons Fall Is The Best Time Of Year
emac.vn

Fall never used to be my favorite season, but then I got to college and started being able to enjoy what the season brings without only focusing on the endless stress that a full day of school can bring. Since most of the time, I only have about three hours of class a day, I can focus on things I really enjoy. I have learned to appreciate a season that once was fueled with dread and projects. There are a lot of reasons to enjoy what is in some places, the shortest season, and now, I'll never understand why people don't like it.

1. The Leaves Changing

There's nothing quite like watching the leaves on trees turn bright red, orange and yellow before they fall off the trees. I'm lucky to live somewhere where the weather change happens fairly quickly, and I get to enjoy the leaves changing colors even longer.

2. Everything Is Pumpkin Flavored. Everything.


I've always had an affinity for hot drinks- hot chocolate, coffee, and apple cider have been some of my favorites for as long as I can remember. My introduction to the pumpkin flavored latte occurred in high school and I've been in love ever since. I've heard rumors of a coffee shop near my house that serves pumpkin lattes all year round, but I've yet to investigate. Part of me enjoys the anticipation of only getting them once a year. Also, I'm pretty sure I could eat pumpkin muffins every day of my life and not get sick of them. My roommate last year also had a pumpkin spice candle, which made our room smell like pumpkin pie. Really, what's not to love?

3. Sweaters


I love sweaters. I would wear sweaters every day of the year if Idaho summers weren't full of 100 degree days. I don't have to worry about what goes with them because literally everything does. You can get away with wearing clothing that's about five sizes too big and no one questions you. Besides, they make throwing together an outfit so easy- no need to worry about what pants to wear, because sweaters go with just about everything.

4. The Weather Cools Down


I love cool weather. Hot, ninety degree weather makes me cranky and sweaty, and sunburnt. Also, cool weather means no bugs. The next time I feel a fly walking across my arm, I'm going to lose it.

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.
