Tasteful Halloween Costumes

In the spirit of hallows eve, I think that it would be most appropriate to give my opinion on the top 10 costumes for both male and females to wear.

This is just a friendly reminder that dressing up as a culture is not cute or funny. Dressing up as the "sexy" Native American, stereotypical Mexican by wearing a mustache and sombrero, or even dressing as "hood ratchet" is not the way to go this year or any year after this. Please use your imagination a little more.

Overall please stay safe this Halloween and have fun.

Ladies, how fun would it be to try one of these costumes:

1. Wonder Woman- She is just one of the greatest female heroes, plus she is getting a movie soon.

2. Ghostbuster- Because this was recently made to empower women

3. Gymnasts- Because the Olympics happened this year

4. Witch- It is a classic and we don't seem to see this costume anymore

5. Zombie- Because everyone seems to be on The Walking Dead hype

6. Animal onesie- To stay warm and cute

7. Harley Quin- Because who doesn't like to be the bad guy sometimes

8. Pokemon animal- For all those who are obsessed with pokemonGO!

9. Any profession- It's always fun dress up as what you aspire to be

10. Cat- For all those last minute thinkers

For my fellas out there these are costumes for you:

1. Power rangers- The movie is coming out soon, so join the hype

2. Ninja Turtles- Get the whole crew to join in with you

3. Kylo Ren- Star Wars is always a great film to costume after

4. Any athlete- It is easy and you can support your team

5. Zombie- Again, The Walking Dead hype!

6. Fun onsie- There are so many things to be while it keeps you warm

7. Joker- Because he is one of the top best villians

8. Skeleton- Your chance to work on that nice face paint

9. Any profession- It is always fun dress up as what you aspire to be

10. Average Joe- Just dress as yourself and say you are a college student

Please do not dress as a creepy clown, considering the things that been going on in the news. If you really don't have anything thing to wear, it's okay, and a nice scary movie at home could be the kind of night for you.

Stay in groups and have fun. Happy halloween.

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.
