With the passing of Labor Day Weekend and the start of school, September is now in full swing. Pumpkin spice has hit the stores and Halloween is only a few weeks away! Although the internet is cursing those who are excited about fall coming, many of us won't let others distract us from the enjoyment that fall brings us! Pumpkin spice, flannels, and most importantly, cooler weather after this horribly hot summer. Fall is the best time of the year because there are so many things to look forward to, like...

Cool weather

Let's face it: Summer was fun but it was hot and it's time to look forward to waking up to 60 and 70-degree weather instead of the sourcing 90's we've dealt with for the last few months. It's time for jeans and light jackets instead of shorts and tank tops! Even if you aren't done with summer, let us fall lovers start dressing for the cool weather in our flannels because the upcoming weather will be perfect for...

Hiking

Want to go for a walk without dying in the burning heat? Maybe take your dog for a walk without the risk of burning their little paws on the sidewalk or even heatstroke? The cool weather will bring prime walking and hiking weather. You'll finally be able to walk outside longer than 5 minutes without soaking the shirt on your back in sweat. A great time for exercise and...

The changing leaves

One of the best things about fall is walking around and having the leaves fall around you in their beautiful orange, red, and yellow colors. Whether you're going to class, work, or just walking around, you'll get a front view of the most beautiful seasons we get.

Pumpkin spice

That's right! One of the best parts of fall, already hitting stores and your favorite coffee shops, pumpkin spice! Pumpkin spice lattes, hot coffee, cold coffee, donuts, cookies, muffins, and much much more. Although not everything should be converted to a pumpkin spice flavor, stopping by Starbucks to pick up a pumpkin spice latte will never be a mistake.

Halloween

The best holiday around! Candy, costumes, pumpkin carving, haunted houses, and Hocus Pocus. Halloween is only weeks away and some of us are ready to grab a costume, collect some candy, and get hella spooky.

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human 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.
