October through December is probably the best time of the year, in my humble opinion. Besides the general beauty of autumn and crisp snowfall, these months hold my favorite holidays. Halloween has sadly finished up, though the spooky decorations in my dorm might show otherwise, and next up we've got the wonderfully tummy-bloating Thanksgiving. Traditions for this holiday include gathering with loved ones to absolutely stuff yourself, pass out, and then stuff yourselves again with leftovers, and of course giving thanks for the important people and things in your life. I thought I'd put together a list of a few things I am definitely appreciating this week.

1. Cozy oversized sweaters

2. Wikipedia

3. Those backpacks that look two-dimensional

4. Having access to clean water

5. S’mores

6. Mood lighting

7. Dogs in costumes

8. Thirty minutes of ad-free music on Spotify

9. Hot chocolate on a rainy day

10. Bralettes

11. When your hands get massaged while getting a manicure

12. Free Teavana samples

13. A seaside breeze

14. Potato buns

15. Being able to study the major I want

16. Flannel

17. Parks and Recreation

18. Leg warmers

19. Tiny cacti

20. Sunsets

21. Having a bed and warm comforter to jump under after a shower

22. Standup comedy

23. BOGO sales

24. Crisp snowfall

25. The Food Network

26. Teachers who don’t assign homework over breaks

27. Foam soaps

28. Cat ear headbands

29. Bathrobes

30. The dog filter on Snapchat

31. Nyx lipsticks

32. Chocolate almond milk

33. Blanket and pillow forts

34. Scented candles

35. Coffee

36. Soft toilet paper

37. Free shipping

38. Washing machines

39. Sushi

40. The color of leaves in the 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.

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.
