September is here which means that fall is just around the corner! Fall is my favorite season as well as many others. In honor of the changing of the seasons, here are 11 of the best things about fall!

1. Football

The NFL football season has just started! Nothings says welcome to fall than rooting for your favorite teams (Go Vikings!) with family, friends and good food.

2. Sweaters

My favorite part of fall is being able to bring out my favorite sweaters from storage. They are cute and comfy and the best thing to wear for the season!

3. Halloween

One of the most fun holidays, Halloween is awesome because you can dress up in costumes and people give you free candy. What's not to like?

4. Pumpkin Everything

It's every where! From pie to coffee. Even Pop-Tarts has pumpkin flavored toaster pastries. At least it's delicious!

5. New TV Seasons

After waiting for months for the next season, fall premiers are a blessing. Thank goodness I no longer have to wait for new episodes of Gotham or Supernatural!

6. Weather

Finally the hot in humid of summer is gone and the cool, rainy fall weather is in. With the air cooling, the out doors once again become bearable! We can now get some fresh air without the fear of melting!

7. Leggings

The great thing about the weather cooling off is that it's finally cool enough to wear leggings. They are warm, comfortable and stylish, making them one of the best fashion statements. I literally can not wait to break out these bad boys!

8. Thanksgiving


Thanksgiving is the best meal of the year by far! With turkey, potatoes, casserole and pie all at one time, my mouth begins to water just thinking about it. Pair that with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and watching football with family, it's one of my favorite holidays!

9. Apple Season

Fall is apple season, meaning this is when they are their most juicy and delicious. My family and I always spend a day picking apples, just so we can get the best from right off the tree!

10. Leaves

One of the most beautiful aspects of nature is the changing of leaf colors in fall. It makes for great scenery and even better pictures. The fallen leaves are fun for kids and pets to roll around in and the aroma is wonderful!

11. The First Snow

Here in Minnesota, the first snow is almost always in the fall. Every year, it's like magic. Everyone gathers at the windows to watch the snowflakes mingle with the leaves. This is my favorite part of fall.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

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

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

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."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
