As summer comes to an end and school approaches, we all anxiously wait for another semester to start. However, summer ending doesn't have to sound so dull, and there is so much to look forward to in Lubbock this fall. I've listed eleven events to look forward to this fall!

1. Raider Welcome Week

Raider welcome week includes two weeks worth of free events for all new and returning students. Their website contains the official list full of activities, times and places. Welcome week will commence August 19th through September 1st. This is a great way to meet new friends while making the transition (back) to campus and Lubbock. Wreck em'

2. Texas Tech Football

The countdown begins! Tech's first football game will be hosted in Houston at 11 a.m. on Saturday, September 1st vs. Ole Miss. The first home game will take place Saturday, September 8th at 3 p.m. at the Jones AT&T Stadium vs. Lamar University.

Wreck em' Tech!

3. The First Friday Art Trail

One of my favorite events that goes on all year round. This event takes place the first Friday of every month for FREE. Held at the Lubbock Cultural District from 6-9 pm.

4. Night Out at Charley B's

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.

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.
