Fall is full of wonderful things, the weather, holidays and even the clothing. This is a list of some of the best things there is to Fall!

1. Halloween

Halloween is probably one of my favorite holidays. There are kids running around in all kinds of costumes, candy is continually stocked in stores, and Halloween movies are available.

2. Leaves

Walking through the fallen leaves on the way to class, just so you can hear the magical crunching sound they make.

3. Pumpkins

Yes, pumpkins! Pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin scones and pumpkin seeds are everywhere. Oh, and carving pumpkins is a must.

4. Apple Cider

Definitely one of the best fall drinks out there. You can drink it either hot or cold, and either way is delicious.

5. Sweater Weather

My absolute favoritepart of fall is sweater weather! Sweaters are the most comfortable item of clothing in my closet, and I pretty much live in them during the fall time.

6. Fuzzy Socks

You wear them 24/7 without shame.

7. The Colors

Everywhere you look, there is an array of yellow, red, orange and brown leaves covering the ground.

8. Apple Picking

Walking through the orchards in the crisp air is one of my favorite activities to do in the fall.

9. The Smells

It's no secret that Pumpkin Spice is a popular scent, as well as flavor. From lattes to candles to air fresheners, fall scents can definitely "spice" life up. Just like coffee, candles and air fresheners can make a room feel sweet and cozy, constantly reminding of the fall weather just outside the window.

10. Knit Scarves

Knit scarves are one of my favorite additions to an outfit. I only wish it would be appropriate to wear them during the summer. I, for sure, pull out all of my knit scarves once the cold weather hits.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
