Fall Is Here

Time for pumpkin spice everything.

Fall Is Here

Less than a week ago, Thursday, September 22nd, 2016, was a momentous occasion.

It was the first day of fall.

Everyone knows that fall is really the best, and not only because I like pumpkin spice lattes. The best fall drink is in fact a chai tea latte, but that is a discussion for another article.

The truth of the matter is that fall deserves an article dedicated to appreciating the season that is always gone too soon.

Picture this: It is three o'clock on a sunny, breezy day. Even though it would normally be hot outside, today it is a balmy seventy two degrees. It is just chilly enough that sitting in the sun is netiher too hot or too cold. A small breeze blows by, caressing your face and stirring the fallen, crispy leaves around your feet. This weather is perfect for literally anything you want or need to do. As you take a sip of your warm *chai tea latte* everything is right in the world.

Also, clothes that have been hiding deep in your closet are going to see the light of day again. Fall is flannel season. Fall is sweater season. Fall is even the start of (dare I say it?) boot season. I do not know a single person who does not look more attractive in a flannel. May be that's just because I love them so much myself, but I doubt it.

Fall also invites in Halloween. Now, it's acceptable to watch horror movies, Hocus Pocus, and the Spooky Scary Skeletons video on repeat. Corn mazes, costumes, candy, oh my!

Summer and winter are nice, but true perfection lies in between. Don't let this beautiful season slip away, because it will sadly be gone all too soon.

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.
