9 Reason I Love The Fall

I've raked up some of the reasons why I fall in love each year, and why you should too!

9 Reason I Love The Fall
kernelmag.dailydot.com

It's that time of the year again! The days begin to get longer, the weather gets cooler, and the trees change their colors. While some are sad that summer is over, I am excited for the crisp air and the shorter days (the sooner it gets dark, the sooner I can sleep...right?).

Below are just a few of the reasons why I fall for Autumn with each passing year....

1. Sweater Weather

Sweaters are arguably (but if you disagree you're probably wrong so...) the most comfortable item of clothing you can wear. It's basically like wearing a warm hug or a fashionable blanket knit to fit your body... and who wouldn't want that?







2. Season Premieres

Ah yes, the wait is over! Now that summer has ended and we're crawling back into our blanket cocoons, we can get back to watching all of the things. Fall means that tons of shows are premiering and returning, and we can rejoice in indulging in our favorites once more.






3. The Great Skeleton War

Every year since 2013, I have long anticipated the day when "The Skeleton War" breaks out on Tumblr. People bring out their best skeleton memes, and the skeletons go to war to fight for our freedom and help us to anticipate the spookiest day of the year. Support our troops people. Support our troops.





4. Halloween

Not only is Halloween the one time that it's acceptable go to strangers' houses and take their candy, but it's the only day of the year where you can be someone (or something) else in public and get away with it. It completely justifies and rationalizes you eating sugar all day and treating yourself to a ridiculous outfit that you'll probably never wear again.





5. Crunchy Leaves

Whether you want to admit it or not....you know exactly what I'm talking about. You know when the leaves finally start to fall off the trees, and they're so stiff that if you step on them they, you know, crunch into pieces? Nothing gets me going like stepping on a good crunchy leaf in the middle of fall. Whether it's stepping on one leaf or falling into hundreds, crunchy leaves are the best.






6. Pumpkins

Fall means PUMPKIN SEASON has arrived! Pumpkin pies, donuts, cookies, spice, candles, picking, carving, smashing, and everything in between. Nothing says fall like a good pumpkin or pumpkin infused something.






Ah, the pleasures of caressing of that beautifully plump orange squash.

7. Thanksgiving

Food, food, food, and more food. More like food coma day, am I right?


8. SANTA IS COMING!

That's right ladies and gents, with the coming of Autumn means we're one step closer to the most wonderful time of the year. So hop in your sleigh and get ready to rock around the Christmas tree... or Hanukkah bush, or Kwanzaa candles, or whatever it is you do!







9. The Dancing Pumpkin Man

You didn't think I forgot about him...did you?

I'll just leave you with this...

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.
