10 Reasons Why New England Wins at Autumn

It's an undisputed fact that New England does fall better than anywhere else in the world. But for those who doubt this fact or are yet to discover all that a New England autumn has to offer, I present this list.

1. The foliage

The burnt red and orange leaves paint the landscape in already-beautiful New England, and make the scenery even more picturesque.

2. The Big E

New England has perfected the fall season so much, that we hold a region-wide fair called the Eastern States Exposition, otherwise known as the Big E. Visit each of the houses honoring New England's states and the best they have to offer, enjoy a variety of rides, and most of all, prepare to eat all the delicious, artery-clogging fair food you can.

3. The weather

It's perfect for taking a walk outside in a cozy sweater.

4. The foliage

Beautiful.

5. Pumpkin festivals

Fall wouldn't be fall without pumpkins, so be sure to check out any of New England's grand pumpkin festivals held throughout September and October. Keene, New Hampshire in particular hosts its annual pumpkin festival that thousands visit, so you should too.

6. Apple festivals

If pumpkin festivals, aren't your thing, don't worry. New England is also chock-full of apple festivals held at orchards that allow you to not only pick your own bucket of apples, but sample tasty treats like apple cide, pie, and fritters.

7. Hiking spots

Whether it's the Berkshires in Massachusetts, the Green Mountains in Vermont, or anything in between, New England hiking trails are most utilized in the crisp, fall months for breathtaking views of what else? Fall foliage.

8. Did I mention the foliage?


9. Perfect football weather

Night games are chilly but not freezing, and afternoon games are often paired with perfect sunny weather to make your tailgate better.

10. And finally, the foliage


Yup. New England does it best.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
