Pumpkin Spice And Everything Nice

The typical white girl season.

Pumpkin Spice And Everything Nice

As I, a typical white girl, sit here and sip my Pumpkin Spice Latte while simultaneously devouring a pumpkin spice scone, I have come to a conclusion: Fall = Pumpkin EVERYTHING. Is it just me or is the pumpkin spice fad becoming a little too overdone? Not that I'm complaining, because I'll be the first one to admit that I'm the first in line at Starbucks on the day they begin serving PSL's. But to me, pumpkin spice should only be reserved for certain things. For example:

I was browsing through Kroger the other night, doing my weekly (sometimes daily) grocery shopping and it seemed like everywhere I turned there was Pumpkin Spice flavored EVERYTHING. I get it, typical white girls will purchase just about anything pumpkin. But, come on now, aren't things like Pumpkin Spice Oreos or Pumpkin Spice Kale Chips taking it just a little (A LOT) too far? I don't know about you but, Pumpkin flavor kale chips do not sound at all appetizing to me. Like, Kale Chips? Really America? Like, let's attract white girls by putting kale AND pumpkin together. Now, on the other hand, things like pumpkin spice ice cream or cupcakes sound absolutely AMAZING, and by all means should be mass-produced.

It just feels to me as if Pumpkin is taking over the season of fall. It's no longer Halloween season or Thanksgiving time, it's the season of the Pumpkin. Like, what is fall about? Leaves changing? Warmer clothing? Holidays just around the corner? Not anymore. It's all about the pumpkin. Whether it's drinking it, eating it, carving it, or painting it, the pumpkin is the symbol of fall now. Most people can not even think about fall without the word "pumpkin" coming to mind.

Another thing, I personally cannot scroll through my Facebook or Instagram without seeing at least two or more pictures of someone (more specific=a white girl) holding a pumpkin in their hands or in the hands of them and another person like their bestie or boyfriend/significant other. And the caption usually says something along the lines of "I picked the perfect one, oh and the perfect pumpkin". Aw. So original. *cue eye roll*

SO. Have a Happy Pumpkin-ween and a lovely Pumpkin-sgiving, everyone. And don't forget to thank all the typical white girls (yes, YOU) for this pumpkin overload.

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.
