10 Reasons I'm Completely Obsessed with Fall

10 Reasons I'm Completely Obsessed with Fall

September 22, my favorite day of the year, marks the beginning of a new season. Although the weather doesn't instantly drop into the realm of acceptable fall weather, there is a certain mentality that comes with the beginning of fall. People begin to break out their sweaters and flannel button downs. Saturdays are spent watching college football and stores like Target have begun to put out Halloween costumes and excessive amounts of candy. The sights, smells, and sounds of fall are simply perfect.

1. Flannels

Flannel Friday becomes bearable when the Fall months bring along the cooler weather. Not to mention the fact that a flannel button down makes for an instantly cute outfit when paired with legging and boots.

2. Pecan Pie

This delicious dessert deserved a spot ALL of its own. I'm probably as obsessed with pecan pie as I am with fall. Making the perfect pecan pie is an art form all of its own. Lucky for me I've got a great uncle who has mastered this art.

3. Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a holiday all about food and family (my two favorite things). For me that means a lunch at my great granny's house. Turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, chicken and dumplings, pumpkin pie, pecan pie.. the list of delicious food goes on and on.

4. Apple Cider

As someone who has never enjoyed coffee I live for the days when I can carry around a warm cup filled to the brim with Apple Cider.

5. Halloween

A holiday devoted to free candy and playing dress up? Ummm... YES!!

6. Sweater Weather

Over sized sweater and super cozy scarves are a wardrobe essential for any girl who enjoys the cooler weather. Besides, I'll use any excuse to steal my dad's Atlanta Braves sweatshirt just one more time!

7. My Birthday!

A whole day all about me & it happens during my favorite season? It's almost too good to be true!

8. S'mores

Graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows? I'm not sure what could be better. Besides, in order to make S'mores you've probably got a fire going outside and who doesn't love a toasty fire in the fall.

9. College Football

There's nothing quite like a college campus on game day. During the fall months, those of us at Mercer bleed orange and black.

10. Candy Corn

Nothing smells or tastes quite like this sugary treat.

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.
