5 Things You Must Do This October

October is the best month to do fun activities with friends before the cold attacks and you’re too lazy to go out. This season the weather begins to cool down, the leaves change colors and the choices of places to go to and things to do are endless. Most significantly, it's the month for Halloween!

1. Watch Scary Movies

Whether they are the old-fashioned Halloween movies such as "Hocus Pocus" or more contemporary like "Insidious," scary movies are a must during this month. Stay in with your friends on a chilly night and binge watch marathons of scary movies. They are the best.

2. Go Apple Picking

The fall weather is perfect to go apple picking. It’s usually warm during the day and it gets cooler at night time, therefore, enjoy a good day with your friends and go to a nearby farm and pick some yummy apples.

3. Go to a Haunted Attraction

It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to go to a real haunted house, but if you like the thrill of being scared, a haunted attraction or hayride is definitely a place where you should go during this month. The spookiness will have you screaming but it will also be a lot of fun.

4. Carve a Pumpkin

Pumpkins are a symbol that Halloween is arriving. Grab your friends and go to a nearby Pumpkin farm, pick pumpkins and get creative. They are also a great way to decorate your house by giving it a spooky feeling.

5. Go to Halloween Parties

Halloween parties are a must, and I repeat, a must. Dressing up as different characters is entertaining and amusing. Plan ahead with your friends what costumes you plan on creating or achieving and go to a spooky party.

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.
