11 Things To Love About Fall
Kaylyn Strange

I love cold weather! Any season where it's cold outside makes me jump for joy. My heart is happy when I can step outside and see my breath fog up in the air. Even though we're at the tail end of the summer and still have a month to go until autumn, here are 11 things to get you psyched about this coming season.

1. The Turning of the Leaves

The color of the trees speak for themselves their radiance and beauty.

2. Anything Pumpkin Flavored

Pumpkin butter. Pumpkin tea. Pumpkin granola. Pumpkin pasta sauce. Pumpkin chapstick. And of course pumpkin pie!

3. Bonfires

Bonfires are perfect for those days when the brisk wind blows and the leaves are falling. You can also roast marshmallows and make S'mores!

4. Fall Fashion

Scarves, sweaters, Uggs, mittens and gloves, hats, hoodies, jeans - need I go on?

5. Pumpkin Spice Lattes

We've already covered pumpkin flavored things, but pumpkin spice lattes deserve their own line on this list. Even on a bad day, a pumpkin spice latte can cheer me up.

6. Apple Orchards and Hay Rides

Apple orchards are the best! You can pick your own apples, drink hot apple cider, and some orchards even have hay rides.

7. Fuzzy Socks

As the weather gets colder, the nights grow dark sooner. Fuzzy socks can help make the darkness and cold a little more cheerful.

8. Hot Soup

There's nothing better than a bowl of hot soup on a cold autumn day.

9. Jumping in a Pile of Leaves

This is an autumn tradition that you won't want to miss - raking a bunch of leaves into a giant pile and then throwing yourself into mid-air on top of them!

10. Smelling the Crisp Autumn Air

Every season has a smell. You know the smell of autumn - crisp, earthy, with a hint of decaying leaves and smoke.

11. Going to the Pumpkin Patch

This activity never grows old. Even the adults, as well as the children, can have fun picking out the perfect pumpkin to display on their front porch.

I hope this list made you excited for this next season!

"A wind has blown the rain away and blown the sky away and all the leaves away, and the trees stand. I think, I too, have known autumn too long." - E. E. Cummings

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
