October has always been my favorite month of the year, and not just because it’s my birthday month. The weather is perfect, there is a fall spirit amongst everyone, pumpkins, fairs; oh the list goes on and on, literally. So I made a list! Check out why October is the best month, and I am sure you will agree!

1. The Weather

It’s a beautiful day, just about every day! Not too terribly hot, not too cold. Just perfect for a picnic or taking the dog for a walk. I wish it could stay like this year round!

2. Halloween, Of Course!

This is definitely my favorite holiday, because you’re never too old to go Trick-or-Treating, right?

3. College Football

By the time October rolls around, things are getting serious. The first few weeks of figuring out which teams our going to really be productive this year are over and now things are more intense. Saturday’s are spent watching the game with a few friends and good food!

4. Candy Corn

This sweet treat is my favorite! I am not much of a candy person, but Candy Corn is a weakness and every fall, I have to have some!

5. Movies

I may not enjoy scary movies, but I can binge watch some Halloween movies! The Nightmare Before Christmas, Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice, Casper, Halloweentown, oh this could be a listicle of it’s own!

6. Fall Scents

Walk into Bath and Bodyworks and fall in love. ‘Nuff said.

7. The Changing Colors

The trees are beautiful when the colors begin to change and the air is crisp. There really is no more beautiful time of year!

8. Fall Outfits

Boots, scarves, leggings, and sweaters, does it get any cuter?! Fall is a girl's best friend when it comes to her wardrobe.

9. Fall Festivals

The State Fair, The Revel, or whatever other festivals you may have wherever you are, there is always lots to do on the weekends in October!

10. Pumpkin-Flavored Everything

Because pumpkin is life, and anything pumpkin flavored makes life worth living, right?

This could be a list of a 100 things, because everything about October makes it the best! What are your favorite things about October?

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
