8 Things You Look Forward To In The Fall Season
Fall

It's that time of year again, folks. Autumn is here and it's the season during which the weather cools down from the hot summer and stays nice before the cold and brutal winter approaches. School starts back up again, and it's time to hit the library and cram for exams. However, on the bright side, fall has some fun events and activities that can relieve some of your stress.

1. Scarywood

If you haven't been to Scarywood, then you're in for a real treat. This fun-filled event happens every weekend in the month of October. Scarywood is full of haunted roller-coaster rides and attractions, complete with roaming zombies and monsters.

2. Perfect Weather

The fall season has perfect temperatures for hiking and exploring, checking out your local farmers market, and going on a run without feeling like you're overheating. It's also the best time for bundling up and adding on layers. You know what that means, ladies: it's time to bring out the countless pairs of leggings we've been dying to wear. The best part? Shorter showers because you don't have to worry about shaving your legs. For the men: scruffy beards and man buns are the way to go.

3. Pumpkin-flavored everything

It's Starbucks' favorite time of the year; a time when we all go crazy for pumpkin spice lattes and Chai teas. You know fall is here when you walk into any supermarket and find a pumpkin spice section filled with candles, cookies, and chocolates; you name it, they got it.

4. Fall TV Shows

Yes, that's right, popular television series like "Dancing with the Stars," "Empire," "How to Get Away with Murder," "Scandal," and "American Horror Story" are coming back.

5. Football Season

For all you sports fanatics, the NFL and NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision are starting up once again, so it's time to whip out your Fantasy football leagues and Seahawks gear.

6. Halloween

Pumpkin carving, costume shopping, home decorating—all the signs Halloween are approaching. It's the only day that dressing out of the norm is accepted, so enjoy it while it lasts.

7. Colorful atmosphere

Walking through the city of Pullman, Washington, during the fall is a sight to see. All the warm yellows and oranges and greens could make anyone's day better.

8. Pumpkin Patches

At any age, going to the pumpkin patch is a must on your to-do list. Searching long for that special pumpkin out of the batch to take home is the icing to the cake for Halloween.

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.
