Fall is my favorite season - the weather is perfect, nothing is (for the most part) too busy yet, and the scenery is incredible. It's not too cold or hot to be stuck inside- so get out and take advantage of it! It's perfect for continuing traditions or even starting new ones. The holidays are approaching faster than you think, and spending time with family and friends is a must. Here are some ideas on what to do during the fall:

1. Pick apples at Johnson's Farm or Solebury Orchards

2. Go on a hike in Manayunk at the Towpath park or the Peace Valley Nature Center in Doylestown

3. Go for a picnic in a nearby park

4. Walk around Olde City (and snap a couple pictures)

5. Pick pumpkins at Heritage Vineyards

6. Go on a hayride at Highland Orchards or Indian Acres

7. House a bonfire with hot dogs, s'mores, hot chocolate, and warm apple cider.

8. Go thrift shopping for big sweaters and cool knick knacks at Good Will in Reading or the Habitat for Humanity Restore in Monmouth County

9. Go to a corn maze at Howell Farm or even a nighttime flashlight maze at Springdale Farms

10. Watch classic Halloween movies like Hocus Pocus or Disney Channel's Halloweentown

11. Make fall treats like caramel apples, pumpkin bars, or mini s'mores boats

12. Walk around your own neighborhood and look for bright colors and fun fall plants or trees- beauty is never far

13. Paint, photograph, or draw a landscape of the fall leaves and trees

14. Visit a haunted house or haunted hayride at Eastern State Penitentiary or Creamy Acres

15. Go to Longwood Gardens and embrace the plants in season

16. Watch scary movies like Ouija or Insidious 1, 2, and 3

17. Carve jack-o-lanterns

18. Practice recipes for the holiday season like Christmas cookies or Thanksgiving pies

19. Go to a high school or college football game

20. Shop new fall fashions at places like Charlotte Russe, American Eagle, or Nike

21. Go to an outdoor concert- it's always better and much more enjoyable when you're not sweating out every ounce of water left in your body

22. Get work done and get ahead- not everything in school (or work occasionally) is in full swing yet, so get moving! You'll thank yourself later!

23. Decorate your house with fall decorations and fall fragrances

And of course, 24. Go trick-or-treating!

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.
