12 Reasons to Look Forward to Fall

If you are someone like me, the end of summer can be a sad time. I don't want an end to long, sunny days and warm nights. I want to continue to live my days by the pool and my nights under the stars. It's great to be a summer person, but we should enjoy each season that goes by. There are some exciting things about changing weather with the passing months. Here are a few things to look forward to about the coming of fall.

Changing colors

Summer flowers may be nearing their end, but other plants will be in their prime and leaves will be changing into bright new colors.

Warm clothes

Sweaters, boots, big sweatpants, and comfy hoodies are always something to look forward to.

Pumpkins

Whether you're a pumpkin spice fanatic or you just like to carve them, pumpkins are definitely a fun staple for fall.

Being with friends

One of the pros of going back to school is getting to see your friends every day, especially reconnecting after the summer break.

Hot chocolate, hot tea, hot apple cider, hot coffee

These delicious drinks just warm up the soul.

Fall sports

Football games are something that many people look forward to on the weekend, but soccer, cross country, field hockey, and volleyball are also in their season and can be very exciting to watch.

Campfires

There's nothing like a warm marshmallow roasted over a fire, or even just sitting around a bonfire on a chilly night.

Haunted houses

If you're the type of person that likes scary things, it is the perfect time for a trip to a haunted house or corn maze.

Candy

With Halloween around the corner, stores are stocking up on tons of comfort foods like candy, festive cupcakes, caramel apples, and chocolate.

Decorations

It's always fun to spice up your dorm room or front yard with fall decorations - pumpkins, scarecrows, skeletons, and colorful lights.

Candles

Fall has some great seasonally-scented candles. Some favorites are usually pumpkin spice, apple pie, cinnamon-sugar, and even "autumn air" scents.

The season itself

Even though summer is ending, fall can have beautiful weather. Take time to enjoy the change in season. Whether it's the warmer fall days in the beginning or the brisk days later on, there are lots of things to look forward to.

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.

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.
