Finally, Fall Has Arrived.

As of yesterday, we have officially begun my favorite season: Fall. There are several reasons to love Fall including oversized sweaters, scarves, dark colors, the coming of Halloween and all things pumpkin. However, in the bustling city of Lubbock, it can be extremely challenging to find fun and festive things to do. Luckily for all Lubbock dwellers, I have compiled my top three list of fun local Fall activities.

1. My personal favorite, At'l Do Farms Corn Maze. Admission to the Maze is $10 and totally worth it because you also get $2 off with your Student ID (and what broke college student doesn't love a discount?)! This ticket includes a hayride to the pumpkin patch and a hayride to pumpkin hallow if you go when it's dark. The main attraction is the corn maze itself, where I made some of my best friends while wandering around. The At'l Do Farms Corn Maze is definitely a worthy local Fall attraction.

2. Nightmare of 19th Street offers four haunted house attractions. The doors open on September 30 and close October 31. As a Dallas raised girl, I spent Halloweens searching for the scariest haunted houses I could find. Nightmare on 19th Street is local and requires a ten-minute drive, which I prefer over the five it takes to get to Cutting Edge in Dallas. Also, going to a haunted house is a great excuse to hold your date's hand.

3. One of my favorite Fall photo-op activities is the Annual Pumpkin Trail at the Lubbock Memorial Arboretum (Instagram worthy pics every time). Pumpkin lighting begins around 5:30 in the evenings. With beautiful Christmas lights, fun Halloween pumpkins, and hot chocolate, a college student can feel like they're truly a part of the Lubbock community.

Even though Lubbock can seem uneventful at times, students simply need to look a little closer for the fun. Fall and Halloween are my favorite times of the year because of all the awesome events Lubbock hosts.

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.
