25 Things To Enjoy Before Fall Ends
Bry Carter

You know the season is changing when you trade in your iced Americana for a steaming hot PSL. I love when the air gets cooler and the leaves start turning and I can go full force into "basic white girl" mode! Unfortunately, if you live in the south your state is probably acting like an angst-y teen who just can't make up its mind about the weather and you've been forced to conceal your inner basic girl tendencies for the majority of this season.

Here in Arkansas, we have nippy mornings and evenings and uncomfortably warm mid-days, but that doesn't mean fall isn't upon us. Regardless of the ever-changing weather, that's still just a little too warm, time has literally fallen back and we've gained that extra hour of darkness - which means winter will be here before we know it. That's right, winter will officially begin on December 22nd (ugh), but don't freak out yet, there's still some time left to enjoy all the fall things us basics love so much.

So, grab a hot coffee, throw on your favorite fuzzy socks and get out there and enjoy all the great things the fall season brings while it's still here! Here is a roundup of all the things you need to be soaking up before you exchange all things pumpkin for peppermint and your cardigans for fuzzy coats:

1. Fall Scented Candles

2. Pumpkin Spice Lattes

3. Pumpkin Patches

4. Pumpkin Pie

5. Pumpkin EVERYTHING

6. Scary Movies

7. Fall Photo Shoots with your Roomies/SO

8. Bonfires

9. Corn Mazes

10. Hay Rides

11. Blanket Scarves

12. Ankle Booties

13. Soft Red Wine

14. Apple Cider

15. Camping and Hiking

16. Halloween Candy

17. Walking To Class And Not Freezing To Death

18. Friendsgiving

19. Bralettes

Unless you don't mind a little nip during those Winter days, you do you, boo.

20. S'mores

21. Tailgates and Football Games

22. Hammocking

23. Stargazing

24. Fairs, Festivals, and Outdoor Concerts

25. Crunching Leaves

Hey, it's fall, y'all! So get out there and do all the fall things while you still can! All too soon we will lose our beautiful crisp weather, gorgeous falling leaves, and the excuse to post tons of seasonal pics on Instagram. So, what are you waiting for? Drag your boyfriend to a pumpkin patch and force him to take a million candid pictures of you, cuddle up on the couch with some wine and a thriller, watch some football, and play in the leaves before all of these things are gone!

Now, don't get me wrong, I enjoy the winter season, too. But, nothing beats all the things that go along with the fall season! What's your favorite fall activity?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

boy in adult clothes

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
