...next to the winter months, obviously.

10 Reasons Why Fall Is The Best Time Of The Year

Fall/Autumn is the best time of year, hands down. Everything about it is amazing. People who say that the summer months are the best time of year are absolutely insane. Who likes the heat when they can have breezy days and comfortably chilly evenings? I mean seriously. In an effort to convince these insane people, I have made a collective list of everything that I love about September through November(-ish).

1. The weather

The smell of the air changes (eventually even down here in Florida). The wind picks up, and it truly feels infinitely better than the rest of the year (save, maybe, the winter months).

2. Pumpkin EVERYTHING

Pumpkin, pumpkin spices, et cetera is/are the best flavor(s) around. You cannot convince me otherwise. Pumpkin beer, pumpkin pie/cheesecake, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin ravioli, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin chai tea, pumpkin candles, et cetera make the rest of the year worth tolerating.

3. The holidays

Halloween is the best holiday of the year, in my opinion. And Thanksgiving has the very best food. Plus, with Christmas right around the corner, what's not to love?

4. Sweaters

With the cooler temperatures, it's time to break out cozy sweaters and socks (even if you have to turn down your AC and pretend like we do down here in Florida).

5. Fall T.V.


Shows, shows, shows! Goodbye social Friday nights, hello cuddly marathons!

6. Warm drinks

Mulled wine, Hot Toddy's, Irish coffees, so much tea, warm apple cider, pumpkin spice lattes, chai lattes, hot coffee, and so much more!

7. Bonfires


Bonfire season (without the stifling heat of summer) is the best season. S'Mores and keg beer all around!

8. Comfort food


Fall always means comfort food. Beach bod is no longer a thing, and you can pig out as much as you'd like! And believe me, the food is definitely worth it. *cue mouth watering*

9. Football

While I have 0 interest in football, I know so many people that absolutely go nuts for it! Fall is when the actual, non-preseason season starts usually, which is just another reason why it's the best!

10. And the last one on the following list:

Because bugs are the worst.

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.
