Maybe you already love fall. Or maybe you hate it. Maybe you can predict exactly what will be featured on this list.

1. Cute Fall Clothes

Whether you like leggings or skinny jeans, no one can argue that fall fashion is the best. Because who doesn't like chunky scarves, oversized sweaters, riding boots, combat boots and fuzzy socks? (Hint: the correct answer is no one) Plus, the colors are the best. Combining neutrals like black, brown, cream and white with olive greens, maroons and mustards makes for a perfect combination of color.

2. Yummy Starbucks Drinks

You might like a pumpkin spice latte. Or maybe you're a salted caramel mocha kinda girl. We're all in the mood for a caramel apple spice or a toasted graham cracker latte. But these are the Instagram worthy drinks that never fail to keep you warm or make you love the fall.

3. Halloween

Because who doesn't love dressing up? Especially with Pinterest. You can find some of the cutest costume ideas whether you're trying to do a couples theme or if you're going out with a group of friends. Or maybe you're stuck at home handing out candy and you just want to feel the spirit of Halloween. Besides, what's not to like about candy and watching "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," "Hocus Pocus,"one of the numerous "Halloweentown" movies, or even "The Nightmare Before Christmas."

4. Pie Season

Some of us love to make them and some of us just love eating them. Whatever your preference, fall is the perfect time for testing out a new recipe. Especially with both pumpkins and apples being in season.

5. Football

Even if you don't really like football, it can be tons of fun to attend an outdoor football game. Whether it's high school, college or even professional, you're sure to have tons of fun spending time with your friends trying to keep warm and cheering on your favorite team.

6. Colorful Leaves

They're so seemingly insignificant yet so important. They're beautiful to look at and photograph. They're fun to jump in. They give our landscapes a whole new look for the fall time.

7. Bonfires

Sure, you can go to a bonfire or sit around a fire place in the summer, but let's be honest. Who wants to sit around a hot pit when it is almost 100 degrees outside? In the fall, you can sit around a fire pit outside and keep warm because the temperature is perfect. Even if you're sitting around a fireplace indoors, you can make delicious s'mores to enjoy the fall weather.

8. Thanksgiving

It's probably the best fall holiday. And what's not to like? Pie, turkey and mashed potatoes, as well as cranberry sauce, corn and a plethora of other treats are the only food groups on Thanksgiving. It's time to spend with family reflecting on what you've so graciously been given. Plus, it's not so bad to have a break from school.

9. Black Friday Shopping

Now, not to the extreme of going out at 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving, but staying up on Thanksgiving night and heading out to start Christmas shopping around midnight is always a fun adventure. Plus, there are always deals to be found

10. Daylight Savings Time

You get an extra hour of sleep. What's not to like?

11. Fall Festivals

Go pick a pumpkin, enjoy some hot apple cider, hay rides and corn mazes. And if you're feeling it, pick up some kettle corn. Fall festivals (usually found on farms) are super fun to go to and never fail to impress.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
