8 Things To Do On A Fall Weekend In NEPA

Fall is one of the most fun seasons, in my opinion at least, and this is mainly because there are so many things to do! And if you're feeling stumped and want to make sure you don't miss out on the awesome fall activities and places to visit , here are just a few of my favorites in NEPA:

1. Roba's Family Farms

I mean obviously.. Pumpkins, hay rides, pig races, and even pumpkin cannons?! Nothing beats that.

2. Jim Thorpe Fall Foliage Festival

Besides being an awesome alliteration, this festival has cool vendors with everything from scarves to elaborate decorations, shops inside victorian homes with vintage clothes and items to buy, and of course an amazing view of the foliage from atop a gorgeous town.

3. Quiet Valley's Harvest Festival

Seriously, this is one of the coolest festivals I've ever been to. It pretty much transports you back to civil war times with its reenactments, displays of blacksmithing, weaving, and it even has horse drawn carriage rides! Not to mention all of the amazing foods and vendors there. (I highly suggest getting the apple dumplings or the apple cider because they're amazing.)

4. Applefest

From antique cars to anything apple, this festival has it all and over 300+ vendors!

5. Hike to the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania

I've mentioned this area as a place to visit during the spring as well, but I don't think anything will beat its fall foliage. The view is incredible.

6. Visit some of the best waterfalls

Bushkill Falls is an example, and during autumn, the waterfalls look even more beautiful. (If you think that's even possible).

7. Go to some haunted houses.

Some of my favorite sin the area are Horror Hall, Dracula's Forest, and Reaper's Revenge but there are a lot more that I haven't even been to yet.

8. Dorney's Halloween Haunt Nights

Dorney sets up a bunch of haunted houses all around its park, and each has a unique theme.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
