'Tis The Season To Be Basic

**Deck the Starbs with spice of pumpkin, fa la la la la la la la latté**

Autumn is always a crowd favorite. Sandwiched in between summer and winter, its crisp weather and seasonal festivities are adored by many and craved by all. And why is this so? Because fall is more than just falling leaves and legging weather. Fall means indulging in all your basic guilty pleasures. More specifically:

Pumpkins

Aka pictures with pumpkins, because, you know, Instagram is important.

Pumpkin Spice Lattes

Because those who make fun of these “basic” beverages have evidently never had their taste buds enriched by the squash-inspired drink.

A great alternative to “Netflix and Chill”

Pretty Leaves

A sure way to enhance your walk to class and distract you from the fact that you are walking to class.

So friends, when basking in your basic-ness, bask guilt-free. If a Pumpkin Spice Latte is what you need to get you through this week of mid-terms, then hold that white cup in your hand with confidence. Happy Fall-ing to all.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

325185

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

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.

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.
