10 Things You Should Do This Fall

Some say that summer is the best season because of the warm air, beach days, sandy feet, flip-flops, and no school work. This is all true and there is no denying that, but fall is coming up and there is so much fun to be had. So, here's a list of some things you should be doing this fall.

1. Apple Picking

Although many people think this is such a "basic girl" activity, it can be a fun thing to do with your girl friends during the fall season.

2. Get lost in a corn maze

Corn mazes are usually only open from September-November each year so I suggest you go to one near you with some friends! They can definitely be confusing, but they are super fun. And hey, getting lost in one just calls for a fun adventure.

3. Bake a pumpkin pie

Fall is by far the best time of the year for anything pumpkin flavored.

4. Six Flags Fright Fest

Most weekends in September and October, Six Flags Great Adventure offers an event called "fright fest". Fright fest offers haunted mazes, scary shows, and walking zombies. If you like scary, you will love this.

5. Give candy to trick o' treaters

I've always loved seeing kids' costumes on Halloween and handing out treats at my house.

6. Celebrate Oktoberfest

You can drink beer an eat sausage to celebrate Oktoberfest, although it of course will not be the same as the crazy Oktoberfest in Munich.

7. Watch Disney Channel Halloween movies

During October, Disney Channel plays the best Halloween movies which will take you right back to your childhood- a great TBT!

8. Have a bonfire

Invite some friends over for a bonfire. After all, fall is the best season for a bonfire with s'mores.

9. Carve a pumpkin

Okay- I see why many people would think this is another "basic girl" event, but seriously carving pumpkins and leaving them on your front step makes your house look fall ready.

10. Drink hot apple cider

Buy some apple cider, and heat it up. It might not sound too appealing, but I promise if you love apples, you will love this fall drink.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
