The (Basic) Essentials For Fall

Fall is finally here (well it's still too hot outside, but the calendar says fall is finally here). But along with fall comes the most basic of girls. If you want to be the ultimate basic this autumn these are the essentials you need to own and do:

1. Black or brown riding boots

These are an essential for warmth style. I am guilty of owning 5 pairs of riding boots and two pairs of ankle boots.

2. Flannels

The 90's have returned and all the basic girls own at least one flannel that they "thrifted".

3. Oversized sweaters

This goes with the whole oversized t-shirt thing. What girl wants to wear clothes that actually fit?

4. Quilted or fleece vests

They might even be monogrammed.


5. Socks and chocs

I rock these year round and live in complete comfort.


6. Patagonia pull overs

Pretty much heaven in a sweatshirt. Why wouldn't you buy one?

7. Buying pumpkin spice lattes

I am not a fan of anything pumpkin, but girls everywhere start freaking out as soon as Starbucks puts them back on the shelves.

8. Take pictures in a pile of leaves

Throw the leaves around, jump in them, get the picture of it or it didn't happen.

9. Pumpkin patches

Are you going to buy a pumpkin? If you buy a pumpkin will you carve a face into it? Probably not. But they definitely make for cute Instagram pictures.

10. Hunter rain boots

For all those potential rainy days. Be sure to take a picture of them in a puddle so everyone knows how absolutely basic you are.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
