  2. Enjoy delicious cider, donuts and caramel apples from Robinette’s.
  3. Go on a hayride and find your way through a corn maze.
  4. Spend some quality time with your family during Grand Valley’s family weekend.
  5. Go to every GVSU football game and tailgate.

  6. Go on a carriage ride through downtown.
  7. Be brave and visit The Haunt.
  8. Find the perfect Halloween costume and go all out.
  9. Enjoy a pumpkin spice latte from the new Starbucks on campus while you study.
  10. Have a movie marathon with the best Halloween movies ("Halloweentown" and "Hocus Pocus" are a must).
  11. Carve pumpkins with your roommates.

  12. Visit the zoo.
  13. Take a hike through the Ravines.

  22. Spend a day exploring the historic museums of Grand Rapids.

  23. Run The 5KRunDead or The Zombie Dash.
  24. Bundle up and watch the sunset at the beach because Lake Michigan is beautiful no matter the season.
  25. Appreciate GVSU’s fall beauty before it becomes a snow globe.

This list is a pretty good start, but there is an abundance of great events that Grand Rapids and Grand Valley have to offer this fall! Both GVSU and Grand Rapids have so much culture and history to explore, and fall is the perfect time to put on a sweater, grab your hot beverage of choice and go exploring before the first snowflakes start to stick.

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.
