Here are some less-than-basic fall activities to try this season.

1. Listen to "BRIGHTSIDE" by The Lumineers.

I am kind of obsessed with this song, but it has excellent fall vibes and makes me feel at peace.

2. Make your own homemade applesauce.

Get yourself over to a fruit farm or even just the grocery store for some fresh apples and turn those bad boys into a delicious warm snack.

3. Learn to knit.

It is the start of sweater weather, so what if you could figure out how to make your own? Or at least a blanket or hat to stay warm!

4. Go hiking.

Now is arguably the best time for hikes because the colors are changing and the leaves are falling, so you will have the loveliest views and a great temperature as it starts cooling down.

5. Watch "Sweet Home Alabama".

I love Reese Witherspoon with my whole heart and soul, and this is a great movie to put you in the fall mood!

6. Read outside or by a window.

Something about cozying up with a good book while taking in the weather just screams fall to me.

7. Play cards on a weekend afternoon.

I feel like the vibes of weekend afternoons in the fall just hit different. Find a good and fun way to spend it!

8. Go thrifting.

This could be a great chance to pick out some new fall fits or maybe plan ahead for other seasons.

9. Spend a day with your best friend.

Life gets so crazy so fast, it's important to take time to spend with those so significant to us.

10. Take a break.

Finally, this time of year can be brutal. Especially when you're in school, things really start to pick up. it's important to not get too caught up in it all and to take care of yourself. Take a step back and a deep breath, do something to relax, and remember that you're doing great!

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.
