It's fall which means that the pumpkin spice craze has officially has begun though Starbucks went ahead than most of us and brought their pumpkin spice latte (PSL) during the summer on August 28th. As a person who loves the season of fall I don't understand the craze people have for pumpkin spice, especially pumpkin spice lattes.

Last year while working at Starbucks I made myself a PSL and it tasted basic and disgusting. I don't get it how people like the taste of pumpkin spice, maybe my taste buds are not for it, but I do find it ridiculous how pumpkin spice has taken over the food industry and it has to stop. Here are some examples of how pumpkin spice has taken over our world.

1. Cream cheese

Walmart

Pumpkin spice has made it into our bagels.

 2. Cereal 

Mr. Breakfast

What is wrong with the honey flavored Cheerios during fall?

3. Liquor 

Foodbeast

People are trying to get tipsy with pumpkin spice.

4. Coffee creamer 

I guess pumpkin spice lattes aren't enough.

5. Tea

Celestial Seasonings

Pumpkin Spice in tea does not seem like a bad idea.

6. Pancakes 

The recipe critic

I'll like my pancakes plain or with blueberries, no pumpkin spice please.

7. Pringles 

Classy Mommy

Original salty Pringles are the best, lets keep it that way.

8. Ice cream

KJRH

The idea of pumpkin spice in ice cream does not seem like a bad idea at all.

9. Yogurt 

Mmm no thanks.

10. Oreo cookies  

She Knows

I'm not surprised at this.

11. Peeps 

Dinosaur Dracula

Peeps got into the craze.

12. Sausage 

Reddit

I don't know how I feel about this.

13. Gum 

Total Sorority Move

Gum? Really? Come on people, what is wrong with minty breath during the fall?

14. Butter 

Hellogiggles

Land Lakes made pumpkin butter. Wow.

Pumpkin spice has gotten out of hand in, but the smell of it brings nostalgia. People love the taste of pumpkin spice because they love the idea that fall has begun and that the holidays such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are on their way. I guess I get it then because who doesn't like the holidays!

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.

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.
