5 Things To Do In The 217 Before Fall Ends

If you're like me and have been way too bogged down with midterms to enjoy Fall and Halloween, do not fear! Fall isn't over quite yet! Being a townie I have the low down on everything you can still do right here in the 217! Here are five things you can still do:

1. Go to Hardey's Reindeer Ranch.

Hardey's Reindeer Ranch is located at 1356 County Rd 2900 N, Rantoul, IL. It is quite the hotspot and also the location of one of my elementary or middle school birthday parties (not really sure which one at this point). Their most popular fall attraction is the corn maze which can be done after dark for a spooky touch!

2. Go to Curtis Apple Orchard.

Located at 3902 S Duncan Rd, Champaign, IL, also the hot spot to one of my elementary school birthday parties. You will find an array of fall lovers activities such as a tractor ride around the property which includes apple trees and a pumpkin patch, apple picking (yes you can go out and pick your own apples!), try some of their famous apple donuts (best thing I have ever tasted), and shop around in their cute little store which has everything you could imagine.

3. Have a bonfire.

Everyone loves and good old fashioned bonfire with s'mores and hot dogs! Head out to almost any local camp grounds. Don't forget the blankets!

4. Go to barn dance!

Find a friend who's organization is having a barn dance and tag along! One of the most fall things you could do!

5. Join October Lover's Club.

Because they are constantly doing fall things that every fall lover loves!

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.
