17 Reasons Fall Is The Best Time Of The Year
Carlise Warner

Winter is coming, but fall is honestly better.

1. Sweater Weather

It's the perfect time to curl up in a sweater and watch your favorite shows

2. Pumpkin spice everything

Call me basic. I love pumpkin spice, and you should, too. It's the flavor of fall, but I could totally go for pumpkin spice year-round.

3. Falling leaves

There is nothing more satisfying than the crunchy sound they make when you walk. It's calming, really/

4. Haunted houses (if you like them)

I don't, but my friends do. I prefer to not pay to be scared, but to each his own.

5. Corn mazes

Nothing says fall like wandering through a cornfield, and failing to do it very well.

6. Apple cider

Warm, specifically. Can you taste it? With a cinnamon stick? Yum!

7. Carving pumpkins

Get messy, have fun, and be creative. Who cares if the finished Jack-O-Lantern looks nothing like you planned?

8. Halloween

You have an excuse to dress up, and buy discount candy the day after. Sign me up!

9. Thanksgiving

An entire holiday devoted to food. What's not to love?

10. BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING

The day after the holiday devoted to food, and a little bit the day of, devoted to SHOPPING with crazy deals.

11. Blankets

Curl up with a fuzzy blanket and veg all day. Blankets don't judge!

12. Bonfires

Friends, heat, blankets, s'

mores. I am here for that!

13. Walking to class and not breaking a sweat

There is nothing worse than getting to class and trying to act like you're not sweating. In Fall, you don't have to!

14. Football season = tailgating

I'm not much of a football fan, but I am quite a bit of a hot dog and hamburger fan!

15. Fall-scented candles

Toasted marshmallow, pumpkin spice, apple pie, apple cider, fallen leaves...

16. The colors are calming

They're not too bright, but there is still variety. We all know variety is the spice of life!

17. The decorations

Go to a Hobby Lobby or craft store and just TRY not to look at the decorations. Go on, I dare you.

To The Girls With "Daddy Issues," You Are Worthy Of The Love He Never Gave You

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

The college years are a time for personal growth and success. Everyone comes in with expectations about how their life is supposed to turn out and envision the future. We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
