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 world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

April Ludgate from Parks and Recreation is notorious for her "I don't care" attitude. She speaks her mind without caring what anyone thinks of her.

And despite her sometimes harsh words, April truly cares about the people she's closest to. These are all reasons she is the epitome of a college student. April complains whenever she has to do any kind of work, but ends up doing the work anyway. April Ludgate is the ultimate college student spirit animal.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
