In Ellijay, GA, It Is Officially Fall, Ya'll!

Why I am okay with being a basic Georgia girl.

As I am well aware the first official day of fall is September 22, but to me personally I feel like fall is official in October.

Fall is my favorite time of year, and gives me the ultimate reason to be more basic than I already am. Honestly, there is nothing wrong with being basic and enjoying the finer things in life. So, here is a compiled list of all my favorite basic things.

1. Football Season is in Full Swing

Nothing says fall time quite like football season, more specifically college football. I love it all. Getting ready for the games, tailgaiting, and yelling at the tv when your team loses by a miraculous Hail Mary (looking at you Bulldogs.)

2. Coffee, Coffee, Coffee

Hot, cold, iced, frozen, coffee just seems to taste better on a nice cool morning.

3. Pumpkin Spice Everything

Hate all you want but I cannot get enough of pumpkin everything. Candles, food, coffee, or scents, I feel like I need to bulk buy everything just so I don't run out because apparently there will never be enough.

4. Boots, Cardigans, and Scarves..oh my

The first officially day of fall I think my closet threw up all my scarves, and I had to dig out all my winter attire and make sure I look extra basic.

5. The town I live in.

I do believe I live in the most beautiful town there is, especially when it comes to fall time. In fact, Ellijay is known for it's tourist season (October-December) with the changing of the leaves and the Apple Festival. I still ooh and ahh over the leaves changing and all the basic things I can do during the tourist season, and I am not even a tourist.

People either give me a hard time for being basic or say that fall time reminds them of me, both of which are compliments to me. So, while you're being over there bitter about things I will be sipping on my pumpkin spice latte' without a care in the world.

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.
