10 Basic Things to do During Fall

Fall is perhaps the best season of the year. The weather becomes cold enough for sweaters but not too cold for a jacket, the smell of burning wood fills the evening, and the leaves finally turn into their pretty colors.

Although the semester may start and the weight of textbooks fill backpacks, this marks the beginning of "holiday season" and family gatherings. It's the beginning phase of the end of the year and there are so many simple things anyone can make the time for during fall that sometimes you just want to drop all of your responsibilities so you can do all of them.

1. Stock up on everything pumpkin.

So what if it's basic? Pumpkin flavor is amazing and can be found in nearly everything on shelves, from shampoo to candles to cake mix.

2. Buy an actual pumpkin.

Pumpkin patches are a great excuse to take a picture proving you did something fall-related. It's always fun to go with friends and later carve one if you're feeling brave enough.

3. Watch your favorite scary movies.

Some people prefer horror and some people prefer family-friendly. Whatever your taste, watching a Halloween movie on a rainy night with kettle corn is never a bad option.

4. Drink as much coffee as you want.

It's finally cold enough where you don't have to feel judged for getting a tall latte anymore. And let's not forget the famous Pumpkin Spice Latte that the gods of Starbucks give us every season.

5. Shop online for even more sweaters.

Already have fifteen different sweaters but feel you don't have enough? Shopping for these is the best wardrobe you could wear in the fall.

6. Sit by a bonfire.

There's something very soothing and altogether beautiful about a bonfire. Big or small, it's a memorable way for close friends to gather round and talk about anything.

7. Prepare multiple Halloween costumes.

This is the ultimate weekend/month for college students. Pictures on pictures of people's crazy and unique ideas are all on display for the love of dressing up and partying.

8. Go hiking.

There's never not a good time to hike and fall is probably the best time because the leaves turn their beautiful shades of red, yellow, and orange. Also, you won't be sweating a lot when you reach the top.

9. Walk in a corn maze.

They're usually inexpensive and a good excuse to get lost. Some are scary walk-throughs, so remember your flashlight and bring a friend for moral support.

10. Watch college/pro football.

Tailgating with good food and even better people. The greatest American sport is in fall for a reason.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing!
