5 Best Things About Fall
Quotes Gram

As an avid lover of all thing autumnal, it is easy for me to completely push my educational responsibilities aside to share with you the joy of the upcoming season ahead of us.


1. Two words : SWEATER WEATHER

Summer has its perks with beach trips, killer tans, and of course no school, but nothing beats being able to throw on that favorite sweatshirt and legging combo that has you basking in the comfort of 100% cotton.

2. Halloween

This time of year gives you a chance to walk on the spooky side. Costume parties, haunted houses, and CANDY. Or looking forward to November 1st because all of those big bags of Halloween candy go on sale. And with Halloween comes all of our favorite childhood movies like Halloweentown and Hocus Pocus.

3. Thanksgiving

FOOD COMA. Need I say more? Probably not, but I will. Aside from the amazing food you have - stuffing is a personal favorite - but also the company. Being surrounded by the people you love is always a good time.

4. Apple/Pumpkin Picking

Whether you go as a date, with your friends or with family, pumpkin and apple picking is always a fun time. There's something for everyone, the hay rides, the fair - like food (APPLE CIDER DONUTS!!!), or just the cool, crisp air of autumn.

5. Fall Foliage leaves

One of the most beautiful things to watch is the leaves changing color and fall to the ground. Mixtures of oranges, reds, browns, and yellows are everywhere. Not to mention the satisfying crunch they make under your feet.

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.
