October is here again, and for some of us, that means more than just changing the calendar. We LIVE for October, and when it finally comes, we come back to life for the season again! If you've experienced these phenomena, you might be one of us...

1. No sound pleases your ears more than crunching on fall leaves.

Even better than crunching down on good food.

2. And the oranges and browns of fall are your aesthetic.

Tumblr-worthy levels of satisfaction.

3. Your favorite pastime: LEAF PILES.

The one time that having leaf bits stuck your hair and clothes is actually a good thing.

4. Your go-to Starbucks drink is, of course, a Pumpkin Spice Latte.

AKA liquid gold.

5. ...And really, you just love Pumpkin Spice anything. It's all amazing.

The ACTUAL most wonderful time of the year. Sorry, Christmas.

6. Boots, sweaters, and beanies are your favorite types of clothing. Especially when worn all at once.

Not to mention, you can start wearing jeans again.

7. And the best part? NO MORE LEG SHAVING.

In the words of Elsa, let it grow.

8. To you, something about October weather makes everything so much cozier.

Top it off with a good book, cat, and hot tea.

9. You can finally say good riddance to summer, and welcome the cooler temperatures, fog, and autumn showers.

If only the amazing fall weather could last year-round.

10. You live for fall festivals and county fairs.

Rides, games, competitions... and don't even get me started on fair food.

11. And of course, the best part...

H A L L O W E E N.

This is Halloween, this is Halloween,
PUMPKINS SCREAM IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT!

13. Favorite fall decoration? Pumpkins. Favorite Halloween decoration? JACK O'LANTERNS.

This gif is totally your spirit animal. Don't lie.

14. Favorite movie genre? HALLOWEEN.

Freeform's got you covered.

15. When the store aisles start looking like this, YOU COME BACK TO LIVE.

The only time that shopping at Walmart is actually fun.

16. Not to mention, when this gem of a place finally returns for the season.

You can never buy too much stuff at Spirit Halloween.

17. Spooky. Everything.

Haunted trails. Horror movies. Scary costumes. It's all good.

18. You take Halloween costumes WAY too seriously.

No, scratch that. You can never care about too much about costumes. SO much more fun than dressing like a normal person.

19. Trick-or-treating is honestly your favorite thing ever.

You can never be too old for trick-or-treating. Besides, you would do anything for FREE CANDY.

20. The whole Halloween season gives you life, and you look forward to it all year round. Nothing makes you feel like a kid again quite like Halloween.

Halloween isn't a day, it's a season. And when you finally turn the calendar to October, it finally begins.

21. Everything about October makes you happy, and you wish October would never end.

October makes everything better.

LONG LIVE OCTOBER.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Oh, so done.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

1. When it's December 1 and you have seven things due, three exams, and haven't slept in three days.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
