5 Reasons Why Fall Is The Best

1. Well... it's FALL!

While spring is my absolute favorite season (there's nothing like the first day that you don't have to wear your heavy winter jacket anymore), I'm also in love with seeing the leaves change and wearing my favorite sweaters, scarves and boots again. The cooler air feels good after a hot summer and there's nothing like the crunch of leaves under your feet or bonfires on a chilly autumn night. Fall makes everything feel cozy and homey and that is the absolute best.

2. Two words: Pumpkin. Farms.

When I was little, my mom used to take me to this pumpkin farm where I'd pick out a pumpkin to carve and get lost in a big corn maze and nearly give her a heart attack when I disappeared. There was also a pumpkin farm about 10 minutes away from that one that my grandma and grandpa would always take me to. The farm would dress pumpkins up like characters from different movies, had a haunted maze, hay rides and a petting zoo.

3. Pumpkin EVERYTHING.

Pumpkin carving, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin air fresheners, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin painting, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin pies. Nothing screams fall like anything pumpkin.

4. Caramel apples.

I know it's fall when I walk into the grocery store and I see these bad boys everywhere. If I'm being completely honest here, I was eating one when I wrote this article.


5. Halloween, DUH!

Even though I'm away at college, I always come home for Halloween. I love passing out candy at my grandma's house and having homemade chili afterwards. But before the actual day of Halloween, they have the "13 Nights of Halloween" on ABC Family, featuring some of the BEST Halloween movies out there. I love to decorate my room with pumpkin and ghost hangers and maybe some fake spiderweb. And who can forget November 1st? Half-priced candy day!!!!

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.
