The heat of the summer may be here, but fall is right around the corner. I can't help but fantasize about cooler weather and everything that comes with the changing of the seasons. Autumn is by far my favorite time of year, so here are five reasons I'm excited for it.

1. Changing of the Leaves

One of my favorite things about fall is the foliage. There's nothing quite like taking an evening drive around town to appreciate the beautiful array of oranges, yellows and reds. Then, when the leaves decide to migrate to the ground, nothing can beat the sound of crunching leaves. Definitely one of my favorite things about fall!

2. Sweater Weather

Don't get me wrong, I love the warm summer temperatures, but there's nothing quite like being able to walk outside in a sweater and feel the brisk autumn breeze. It's warm enough that you don't need to bundle up, but it's chilly enough to need a nice warm beverage to accompany you while you walk around admiring the fall leaves. It can't get much better than that!

3. Apple Orchards & Corn Mazes

One of my favorite fall past-times is going to the apple orchard and getting lost in the corn maze with my best buds. It's a great bonding experience and everyone's true colors come out, which makes it extra interesting. After completing it (or just giving up), what's a better way to reward yourself and relax than with a cup of fresh apple cider or an apple cider doughnut? Nothing. There's nothing better.

4. Haunted Houses

I'll be the first to admit I am that person who screams like a little girl when scared, but that doesn't make haunted houses around Halloween any less fun! Being terrified is part of the thrill. Acting scared makes it even more fun because the characters will target you to get a reaction. Who doesn't love a good chainsaw chasing after them?

5. Pumpkin EVERYTHING

Yes, I'm that typical girl that loves everything I can consume to be pumpkin flavored. Pumpkin bread, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin pie, and don't forget about pumpkin ice cream! Pumpkin just makes everything better. It's a big staple of the fall season.

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.
