8 Things to Do With Pumpkins This Fall

I will not deny the fact that I am such a typical white girl when fall rolls around. I love everything fall and have no shame in that. But when it comes to pumpkins, there is a love hate relationship there... I love pumpkin flavored anything. ANYTHING! Seriously. Some people think that is weird considering I hate actual pumpkins.

I love going to pumpkin patches and getting the perfect pumpkins. But then generally after one gets a pumpkin, they carve it. Not me. I hate the smell when you cut open a pumpkin. Most people think it smells good but to me it is just ew. The scent gags me, not even kidding. I hate the feeling of the inside of them (its just so gooey, YUCK!). Sure pumpkins are nice decoration for fall but it seems odd to me to just let one sit there. So after I go have tons of fun picking the perfect pumpkin, what the heck am I supposed to do with it?! I have yet to figure that out.

SO... I did some research of things to do with pumpkins with out carving them. Here is what I found:

1. Painting them


2. Covering them in glitter

3. Bedazzle them


4. Pumpkin bowling

Grab a pumpkin and something to act as pins and go at it. Watch that bright orange globe roll away!

5.Pumpkin mummies


For the next few we will actually have to cut into the big orange globes (can I have a face mask please?)

6. Make a pie

This Pumpkin Pie recipe by Paula Deen is SOOOOO good but it isn't made with a fresh pumpkin (which I am secretly 100% okay with)

Here is a recipe made with a fresh pumpkin, if that is your kind of thing.

7.Pumpkin bread

Here is a pretty simple recipe from Food Network Star, Alton Brown.

8. Fall pumpkin soup

There are tons of recipes for pumpkin soup but this one seems pretty simple and sounds really good.

Hopefully these ideas were helpful for you whether or not you like playing with pumpkins. So go out this fall season and have some pumpkin loving (or hating) fun.

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.
