7 Reasons Why I Can't Wait For Fall
Samantha Michaels

The truth is, August is the Sunday of summer. While summer is a beautiful season that should not be taken for granted, I can not help but look forward to the fall once August hits. For me at least, there is something about autumn that is exciting and inspires creativity and change. Once the heat of the summer wears off, I feel like I am a new person that can accomplish anything. Here are the seven things that I am most looking forward to this fall season!

1. Going Back To School

I may regret saying this mid-semester when I am drowning in homework and studying, but I miss college more than anything and I can not wait to be back in a few weeks. From reuniting with friends to rush week to decorating my dorm, it is hard to restrain myself from counting down the days.

2. Makeup

Although I am obsessed with makeup year-round, fall is definitiely my favorite season to explore new products and experiment with different looks. Bold brows, smokey brown eyes, and intense lipstick are only some of the long list of beauty trends that the fall has to offer.

3. Fashion

Fall is the king when it comes to fashion. A good pair of jeans, a sweater, and block-heel boots beats any outfit that summer has to offer. Once the weather begins to cool down, I love throwing on a jacket because I feel it completes even the most simple outfits.

4. Everything Halloween

I doubt I'm the only person that starts to think about their Halloween costume during the summer. Halloween is such an exciting holiday all-around, especially because it brings out everyone's "inner-kid". All in all, Halloween is definitely fall's icing on the cake.

5. Fall Food

I love cooking and baking year-round, but traditional fall ingredients and recipies are my favorite. From pumpkin flavored baked goods to everything Thanksgiving has to offer, I often find myself getting hungry when thinking about fall treats.

6. Music

I don't exactly know why this is, but music just sounds better to me in the fall. Additionally, fall is a popular time for many artists to release new albums, so get ready to update your soundtrack this upcoming season.

7. Beautiful Scenery

Nothing says "fall" like the beautiful palette of colors it has to offer. There is something mesmerizing about having a cool breeze blow through your hair as you walk, while an array of leaves swing from above.

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.

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.
