15 Fun Fall/Winter Date Ideas

Go and get your date on.

Who doesn't love a cute fall or winter date? Doesn't matter if you live in the south where it is very warm all year round and you end up going to the beach or here in upstate New York where the trees turn beautifully and the air is crisp or in South Carolina where the beaches on Hilton Head look as beautiful as ever with their warm breezes. Don't have that special someone? Grab your friends, grab your sister, grab your dog! This is a fun list of things to do when you are running out of ideas as of what to do.

1. Decorate for Halloween

Nothing says you're in the Halloween spirit like decorating everything in orange, some scary cat looking thing and a bowl of candy in every room. Decorating for halloween is always fun, why not add someone else in the mix?

2. Haunted House

I'm the biggest scardey-cat so haunted houses have never been my thing. But, there are always those people out there who think its so romantic to have you jump into their arms at the sight of a guy chasing you in a bloody shirt?

3. Bonfire

Who doesn't love a good bonfire? You can sit out, have some hot chocolate, make smores and just relax. Makes for a great night if you ask me.

4. Snowball Fight

Yay! I love the snow and what better way to embrace your inner elf than with a snowball fight???

5. Pumpkin Carving

This is a cute date idea because you could make matching pumpkins or if you're stuck babysitting, its something you can do where the kids will love it just as much as you.

6. Lights on the Lake

One of my favorite things after halloween is to go to Lights on the Lake. The walk through couldn't be anymore romantic, if you ask me. Too cold to walk that stretch? Wait a few days, turn on the Christmas music and slowly roll through the beautiful lights displays.

7. Make Seasonal Cookies

The Pillsbury company was made for the holidays. I really don't know what else there is to say about those beautifully put together yummy treats.

8. Apple/Pumpkin Picking

Not too brag, but upstate New York is home to the best apple orchard in the US. Thanks, Beak and Skiff. Love you.

9. Movie Marathon

ABC Family (I'm still refusing to call it Freeform) can definitely help out here. With movie schedules like 13 Nights of Halloween and 25 Day's of Christmas, you will watch so many movies you won't know what to do with yourself. You'll also be too excited to see all of your favorites you won't know what to do with yourself.

10. Football Games

Ra ra raaaaaaa. Football is always in season, right? Grab your friends, a big blanket, and cheer on your favorite team.

11. Fall Photoshoot

The beautiful fall colors are just begging you to take pictures with them.

12. Halloween Party

Who doesn't love to dress up in costumes and go out with their friends? Its always a good time to dress as something you don't normally dress as and go out and have a good time.

13. Christmas Light Photoshoot

How romantic! What a cute idea to do with anybody. Grab some twinkly lights, wrap yourself up and snap some pics.

14. Lazy Day

Grab your favorite pj's, that Christmas movie marathon, some hot cocoa and just chill on the couch all day.

15. Wrap Presents

Nothing gets me more ready for the holiday season like wrapping presents I get for everyone. Can't wrap for your life? Don't worry, there's always those little kiosks in the mall that can.

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

16 Things Blondes Are Tired Of Hearing

Please hold your blonde joke.

Rutgers University

Yify

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

University of Southern California

5198

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

No, I can't help you.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

4. Having the same conversations over and over again! To be honest I really don't even want to talk to you right now, or have this fake ass smile on my face!

5. Always having to have a smile on your face. I promise I'm not as happy as I may look!

6. Customers not understanding that sometimes, mistakes happen. I am a human being, we all mess up sometimes!

7. Having the boss from hell, it's their way or the highway! Even though I did my job correctly and efficiently, if I don't do it the exact way you do, I'm a piece of shit.

8. Having coworker who don't help out, who bend the rules just enough to screw you over.

9. Having to be at work after closing because a customer is taking forever and half! Not like I'd like to go home or anything!

10. Having shitty hours and more shifts than you asked for. Just because we don't have enough workers, doesn't mean I want to pick up every shift that you cant cover, oh great boss of mine!

11. Not having time for a social life. It gets old saying, "I can't I have work..." Every day of the week!

12. Having that lazy costumer who can't do anything for themselves... no please I'll get that, it's no problem at all!

It's just my face, I swear.

1. When you meet new people, they automatically assume you hate them or are rude.

2. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.

3. After being friends with someone for a while, they confess to you, "I thought you were so mean when I first met you," or, "I thought you hated me."

4. You get told to smile more, but they don't understand how scary that would be.

5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."

6. Passing a friend with your RBF in full force and not realizing you just shot them a death glare.

7. Being sarcastic, but everyone thinks you're outright rude.

8. Not knowing how mean you really look until you see a picture of yourself in resting face.

9. Your apologies never sound sincere because of your emotionless face.

10. Your "mad face" scares you.

11. And, lastly, people are constantly asking you if you are happy or having a good time because you look bored to death.

Please hold your blonde joke.

1. "Is Elle Woods your spirit animal?"

2. "Is that your natural hair color?"

3. "Oh wow, you get good grades at school?"

4. "You must really like the color pink!"

5. "You’re probably not into sports, right?"

6. "You must have such a bubbly personality."

7. "Your wardrobe must consist of all things preppy."

8. "What sorority are you in?"

9. "You were probably a cheerleader in high school."

10. "You look like you’re from L.A. because your hair is so light."

11. "You definitely like Pumpkin Spiced Lattes from Starbucks!"

12. "Do you actually think blondes have more fun?"

13. "You must encompass the typical “white girl” stereotype."

14. "Is that daddy’s credit card you’re using?"

15. "So all of your friends are blonde too?"

16. "I’m surprised about you; I thought you would be a lot ditsier."

The world's greatest university meets the world's greatest show.

2. When you try to figure out how class enrollment works

3. When it’s move in day

4. When you arrive on campus and see all of the attractive people
