8 Things to Look Forward to This Fall Besides Drinking a Pumpkin Spice Latte

Although pumpkin spice latte’s are great and make for an artsy snapchat story, there are so many other ways to experience fall. I could probably list hundreds of different activities to participate in during the fall but here are just a few of my favorites:

1. Apple picking

Especially in upstate New York, there are so many different opportunities for apple picking and it’s such a fun thing to do for fall. It allows for so many cute pictures with your friends and then you have weeks of different variations of apples. From apple pie to fritters to candy apples, fall couldn’t get any better.

2. Pumpkin flavored everything

Not only can you go pumpkin picking for cute decorations but you can literally find pumpkin flavored everything. I know the title is “besides drink a PSL”, but you can also get a pumpkin muffin, cookies, pie, and the list goes on. Seriously who doesn’t love pumpkin?!

3. Sweater weather

Once the weather gets just cold enough to wear sweaters, I immediately run to my closet and bring out all of my cardigans and I’m ready to go. Being able to wear sweaters is by far one of the best things of fall.

4. Halloween

Being able to figure out what you're going to dress up as for Halloween is so much fun, especially coordinating with your friends and looking cute altogether!

5. Haunted houses

Even though they leave you screaming, going to haunted houses and hayrides during the fall is always a must. It’s all apart of Halloween and goes hand in hand with the creepily carved pumpkins, so how could you go wrong?

6. The Colors

Absolutely nothing beats the warm colors of fall, the trees are actually unreal and so beautiful that it’s breathtaking. Even the sunsets seem a little brighter when they reflect on the trees and all the leaves that have already fallen on the ground.

7. Thanksgiving

Being surrounded by your family and friends during thanksgiving break is yet another great part about the fall. Watching football and having debates over politics is definitely something my family looks forward to each year!

8. It’s technically almost Christmas…

Christmas is in the air as soon as fall sets in and the countdown begins! The start of fall really begins the feel for the holidays and gets everyone so excited to be surrounded by everyone they love.

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.
