Nothing is worse than the beginning of the year limbo. It’s not really summer anymore and it’s not really fall yet either. School just started and everyone is still getting back into their routine. There are no long weekends or holidays to look forward to -- except Halloween, but that’s still ages away. The weeks start to drag on and it begins to look very bleak. But I’m here to tell you that it’s not all bad, there are plenty of things to look forward to this week.

  1. The First Day Of Fall

All I can say is finally! It feels like we’ve been waiting for Fall to officially start for months now. On thursday it will finally be acceptable to look forward to Halloween, go apple picking, and eat all of the pumpkin flavored things your heart desires. It also means we can start wearing fall colors, orange, brown, red, basically anything that you would see fall off of a tree this time of year (disclaimer: I am not a fashion expert -- I don’t really know if these are fall colors or if it is acceptable to wear them yet. Please consult any fashion magazine for real advice).

2) All The Cups Of Coffee You’ll Drink This Week

I’m sorry to all the people who don’t drink coffee, but like seriously, is that a thing? I think you should try it again, it’s really incredible. I hate that I have become such a stereotype, but I love my coffee in the morning, and in the afternoon, and sometimes the evening. Everything about it is amazing: the smell, the look, the taste. I would instagram it every morning if that was socially acceptable. My coffee makes my morning, and so therefore my week. What I wouldn’t give for a cup right now.

3) TV Is Back

Wahoo! Everyone should throw their hands in the air and do a dance because the shows are back this week. We can finally say goodbye to the terrible summer television we have been suffering through and say hello again to actually good TV. Maybe we’ll find out How exactly To Get Away With Murder, if Mindy and Danny will get back together, or if Jane will stay a virgin forever, and so much more. There is honestly nothing better than the start of a new TV season because it’s all so exciting and fresh and hasn’t had the chance to disappoint you yet. When TV is back, life is good.

4) My Dad’s Birthday

Ok everyone, Thursday is my dad, Macy Kisilinsky’s, birthday. He loves birthday messages so make sure to make a reminder and write him something nice on his wall on Thursday. I’m sure he’s looking forward to it. You’re turning 30 right? Have a happy birthday, Daddy, love you!

5) The Weekend

Ok, I know what you’re going to tell me, it’s not healthy to start looking forward to the weekend on Monday. But first of all, don’t tell me what’s healthy and what’s not, I’ll get through the week however I need to get through the week. And second of all, it’s totally fine, it builds excitement and teaches patience. The weekend was one of the greatest things ever invented, so it’s only natural to look forward to it. You can jam in as much fun stuff as possible or totally chill and veg out on the couch. The weekend is the perfect way to revamp for the next week and come up with another five things to look forward to.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
