10 Things To Get Excited About For Fall Other Than The PSL
Bravelets

As September ticks along, the excitement for Autumn continues to grow. The first thing that many people think of when they hear of fall is the ever famous PSL (pumpkin spiced latte). However, with the pumpkin spice craze starting earlier than ever and with more foods and drinks flavored that way, the countdown to fall has begun. Let us peek into the future and see what all the fall hype is about.

1. No More Bugs

As the weather cools down, bugs seem to slowly disappear. This is a blessing to those of us who are prone to pesky, itchy, bug bites. Also, it means we find fewer bugs in our rooms that we have to kill!

2. Sweater Weather

Speaking of cooler weather, one of the best parts of Fall is the wardrobe change. Cozy sweaters, jeans, leggings, fuzzy socks, boots, and scarves are all getting good use again. There is nothing better than wearing an oversized sweater with leggings and fuzzy socks - so comfortable.

3. Fall Activities

The Fall season allows us to do cute, fun activities such as going pumpkin and apple picking, finding corn mazes, beer festivals, hayrides, and haunted houses. There is so much to do in the Fall months that every weekend could be booked with something new and exciting.

4. Halloween

Halloween is one of the best things about the fall. Who doesn't like an excuse to dress up and eat candy? In addition to that, there are always great movie marathons going on for the entire month of October. Most of the time it is usually horror movies, but you can usually catch Hocus Pocus or Halloweentown at least a few times!

5. Bonfires

Bonfires are a great social alternative to sitting inside and just hanging out. You are able to feel the warmth of the fire and make s'mores all while being with your friends. The bonfire smell on your clothes afterwards isn't half bad either.

6. Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving might come at the end of the season, but it is still one of the best parts of the Fall. You get to spend time with all of your loved ones and eat delicious food. In addition to that, you get time off of school also. There is really no complaining when it comes to this holiday.

7. Football

Football season is huge and a big part of Fall culture. From high school football games to college to the NFL, fall is where it all begins and everyone gets hyped. Start making the dip now for your football parties!

8. Hockey

Even though it might seem like Ice Hockey is a winter sport, the season actually starts in October! This might seem crazy but hockey fans all over the nation are rejoicing that the season is starting up again in just a little over a month.

9. Hot Chocolate

Hot Chocolate is a delicacy that is enjoyed when the weather is cooled down. There is nothing better than drinking a nice cup of Hot Chocolate on your way to class in the morning or at night while watching your favorite movies.

10. TV shows

Last, but definitely not least, Fall TV returns. All of our favorite shows on primetime networks generally return in the fall. Things like Modern Family, American Horror Story, Grey's Anatomy, Criminal Minds and so much more are all starting up again in just a matter of weeks. Let the countdown to fighting over the remote begin!

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
