10 Good Things About Summer Coming To An End

I love summer and I'm sad to see it coming to an end in about a month, but I also love fall. Fall is a beautiful and peaceful season. My birthday is in the fall so that's another reason for me to love the autumnal equinox. It truly is my favorite season.

If it's also your favorite season, here are 10 good things about summer coming to an end:

1. Bye bye, bugs

The best thing about summer coming to an end? The bugs disappear! No more fighting mosquitos and other insects while trying to enjoy the outdoors.

2. HALLOWEEN IS COMING

Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I'm excited that it's getting closer! I love scary movies, dressing up and all of the candy!

3. All the leggings!

One thing I love about the weather cooling down is I get to wear leggings with just about everything: sweater dresses, cardigans, long shirts, knee-high boots. Leggings are one of the most comfortable pieces of clothing and I love wearing them every day.

4. The tourists go home

Another thing I love about summer ending is the tourists go home! From late May through early September, it is impossible to get anywhere on time or get a decent seat at a local restaurant without a swarm of tourists being in the way. After Labor Day, life slows down and it's fantastic.

5. Apple Cider is back!

I love apple cider, especially hot apple cider! Not to mention the apple cider and doughnuts you get when you visit an orchard.

6. The colorful leaves

Fall's beauty is truly breathtaking. There's something calming about standing outside on a crisp fall morning and looking at the colorful leaves on the trees or driving past the trees on the highway.

7. Snuggling weather!

It feels so good to snuggle with your loved one or pet when it's not 95 degrees and humid.

8. PUMPKIN SPICE EVERYTHING

Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin spice cookies, pumpkin spice muffins, pumpkin spice EVERYTHING!

9. You can actually bake again

I love to bake, but it's far too hot to bake in the summer time. Once fall rolls around, I start baking cookies, cakes, pies, etc. After all, it's comfort food season!

10. End of summer clearance sales!

When it's the end of summer, I hit up the clearance sales so I can get what I need for next summer since it will be here again before we know it.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
