EDITORS' NOTE

Well, here's to another issue of Aura 32!

It's finally Friday and I couldn't be happier at the thought that I can sleep for as long as I want tomorrow.

In today's issue we continue with the theme for this week: Happy Place. Leena Singh wrote a wonderful piece titled "You Are What You Wear" and discusses problems in the fashion industry with criticisms of people's choices. Kelly Peacock's article "Feelin' Good" discusses her own personal struggles, and suggests ways you can try to get out of a funk. And lastly, Caitlin Usui's article on "Music: More Than Just Money" delves into Taylor Swift's decision to not upload her latest album to Spotify, and why music is so important and helpful.

I loved reading the articles for this issue- and I hope that you do too! Have a wonderful weekend!

FALLING IN LOVE WITH AUTUMNAL TUNES

When I think about autumn, I think about good music. Both mentally and physically, it makes you feel. The warm touch of snuggling in bed on a cold, autumn night is the same feeling you get when the words of a song harmonize with your reality.

The thrilling sensation of feeling the brisk air smack against your bare cheeks is the same as the impression the tune of a song has when it makes the hair on your arms stand up.

Good music and gentle weather can bring can overwhelm you with nostalgia. Music is supposed to make you feel just as powerful as the weather. Ben Howard, the talented English singer-songwriter, brought me immense feelings with his second, ten-track album, I Forget Where We Were.

I recently saw You Me At Six live in Pomona and they were absolutely amazing; they definitely give a vibrant performance that can automatically lift up your mood. 

TURNING A NEW LEAF

For all of those in the Southern Hemisphere, like myself, it’s now Springtime and that means it’s time for change. Spring is a time of new beginnings; the birds chirp, the flowers bloom and new life starts. It brings about new fashion to fit the new weather, along with spring-cleaning and new goals for people to try and change their lives in one way or another.
