The Realities Of Transitioning From Fall To Winter

Halloween Weekend has passed, our costumes are rolled up in a ball and stashed in the corner of our closets, and we can't look at another bite sized candy bar for at least another month. The time has come to transition our lives from hayrides, halloween movies and pumpkin spice lattes to snow angels, Christmas movies and hot chocolate! The best time of the year is approaching and there are a few things we all do during this wonderful transition from fall to winter.

Blare The Christmas Music

I'd be lying if I said I didn't already start listening to Christmas music weeks ago. Michael Buble never disappoints and there's nothing quite as comparable to turning on some festive music on a cold day.

Break Out The Coats

Parkas on parkas on parkas. It's too cold for a simple vest now, and we definitely need to take a trip home to gather up our long down jackets and scarves. These are essential for on campus walking, unless you like being whipped in the face by cold air.

Stock Up On The Holiday Candles

Our pumpkin spice and caramel pecan candles are dwindling on their last leg. It is inevitable to take a trip to Bath and Body Works, and take advantage of those 2 for $20 deals. Christmas scents are the best scents no doubt.

Thanksgiving

So there is this holiday in between Halloween and Christmas that I always seem to forget about because I'm just too excited for December 25th. Thanksgiving is the best day for giving thanks, being with your family, and lots and lots of delicious food. Most of us will come back to school with a small food baby from the hectic weekend of eating and never stopping.

Black Friday

The day after Thanksgiving should be a holiday all on its own. Sales on sales on sales, and we are all taking advantage of them. Most of the time I never even have a plan of action, I just hop from store to store trying to find the best deals.

Blankets

Stack on the blankets because the temperature is dropping. I find myself with at least three blankets over me when the temperature drops below 50. Nothing is quite as nice as being a snuggled up burrito on a cold day.

Our halloween costumes were iconic, we enjoyed our time, but we are on to bigger and better things. The winter time is coming, and honestly I can hardly wait.

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.
