The hype of Fall has now begun, and there are a few things that will get you in the mood to take on the cool crisp weather autumn has to bring. Basic pumpkin spice lattes, fuzzy socks and Halloween movies will put anyone in the spirit for the season. Here are some fun things you should add to your Fall checklist.

1. Let's Decorate!

Environment is everything when it comes to getting in the mood for those cool fall days. Place a few pumpkins and other harvest items around your house.

2. Apple Cider Warms the Soul

Having a hot drink on a cold day will warm you up instantly, this means it's time to log into Pinterest and find a recipe for this yummy drink.

3. Break out the Boots

It's time to put away the sandals and break out the boots, any reason to shop for shoes...Am I right ladies?

4. Movie Time!

I think this one of the most anticipated elements of fall It's something about throwback Halloween movies that sets the tone for the season...It's just a bunch of Hocus Pocus!!!

5. S'mores Galore!

One of my personal favorite things to do during this chilly season is to roast marshmallows and make some delicious s'mores!

6. Scarves save lives...

...Enough Said

7. Get your costume early

We've all been there, we wait until the last minute and all the good costumes are taken so make it your mission to start shopping early.

8. Smells Like Fall Spirit!

I don't know about you but the smell of pumpkin spice or crisp apples always makes me smile from ear to ear.

If you are looking for a more natural approach, try making some of your own home.

9. Invest in cozy blankets

Cuddling up with you favorite cozy blanket is sure to keep you warm and toasty during bonfires...which brings me to my next point.

10. Host a Bonfire

This is the perfect way to gather up your close friends for a night of endless fun. Roast hot dogs, tell ghost stories and share the company of good people

11. Binge watch Goosebumps...it's on Netflix

12. Change your makeup

Ladies, this is another one of those things we look forward to all year. This dark red, has been the hype for the past couple of years.

13. This next one is a love it or hate, but there is absolutely NO denying it...Pumpkin. Spice. Lattes.

14. For my natural hair beauties, I suggest wearing protective style to protect your delicate strands from the harsh winds, box braids are a personal favorite of mine.

15. Create a Fall Music Playlist to keep the joys of autumn alive.

Here are some suggestions:

"Thriller" - Michael Jackson

"I Put a Spell On You" - Nina Simone

"Monster Mash" - Bobby Pickett

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
