22 Things to Look Forward to in the Fall

PicMonkey

September 22nd marks the start of the best season of the year. There are so many things I love about fall, so instead of keeping them all to myself, I decided to share the wealth! Here's my list of 22 things to look forward to in the fall!

1. Autumn Leaves

There is no sight more beautiful than this. The leaves are as vibrant as ever- yellows, reds, oranges. And the way they crunch beneath your feet... Priceless.

2. Crisp Air

Every season has its down distinct air quality, but as you can see from this puppy, nothing beats the cool breeze that fall brings.

3. Apples

4. Pumpkin Spice Lattes

Maybe this one is a little premature considering Starbucks starts serving them in August... Whatever, they're still good!

5. Pillsbury Sugar Cookies

You'd be lying if you said you didn't look forward to these... And the best part about it them is that they taste just as good uncooked.

Disclaimer: Eat raw cookie dough at your own risk.

6. Sweaters

Pretty self-explanatory.

7. Leg Warmers & Boots

Feeling comfortable AND looking cute? WIN. Thanks, fall.

8. Scarves

Pro tip: Scarves are for wearing, not for eating. Please don't choke on your scarf. Love, Alyssa.

9. Hot Apple Cider

Let's get this straight. There IS a difference. Hot apple cider is waaaay better than apple juice. And much more characteristic of the fall season.

10. Football Games

(Coming from someone who doesn't even fully understand the sport).

11. Apple Cider Donuts

Three words. Apple cider donuts. The end.

12. Halloween

13. Haunted Houses

Because who doesn't love paying money to get scared?!?

14. Halloween Movie Marathons

You would also be lying if you said you weren't a fan of Hocus Pocus or Halloweentown.

15. Thanksgiving

Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce... Is your mouth watering yet?

16. Pie

Did someone say pie?!?!?

17. Carving Pumpkins

Yeah, the process may be a little nauseating but when its done you'll be just as excited as this dancing pumpkin man.

18. Caramel Apples

19. Candles

What better way to spend your hard earned money than on something you're going to light on fire and watch burn?

20. Bonfires

Wow. I can feel the warmth already. Or maybe that's just my laptop overheating...

21. Horror Movies

Horror movies are great as long as you don't watch them alone at night. Then they've done their job.

22. Black Friday

Waking up early (or camping out overnight if you choose) so you can spend money on marked down material items? Count me in!

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

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

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

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.
