Lately, it has been 80 degrees in Pennsylvania, but let's pretend it is actually October AKA what should be the peak of autumn. We are fortunate to be on the east coast where the fall season is absolutely Instagram worthy, Snapchat worthy and yes, worthy for personal enjoyment of nature. With that said, here are a few locations where the fall foliage stands out and are must go places on the east coast during this season. If possible, I suggest dropping the pumpkin spice lattes and visiting these state parks as a fall ritual instead (or if you can balance both, go for it).

5. Watkins Glen State Park, New York

Located in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State, in a quaint town, a highlight of Watkins Glen is the plethora of waterfalls of all different height.

4. The Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania

Hey, that's where we are! It is only fitting that one of the most stunning college campuses is located in the center of a beautiful region for experiencing the changing of seasons.

3. Stowe, Vermont

Stowe is the home of Ben and Jerry's and skiing so we often forget how beautiful the fall months are there. Here is a perfectly good excuse to go on a tour of the Ben and Jerry's Factory and have your jaw drop at the picturesque, almost painting-like backgrounds.

2. Ohiopyle State Park, Pennsylvania

In Western Pennsylvania, Ohiopyle State Park is a must go location for fall foliage. Also, if you are a sucker for cool architecture, Fallingwater by Frank Lloyd Wright is just a short drive away.

1. The Hudson Valley, New York

Okay, I might be a little biased since I am from the 845 (The Hudson Valley), but during the end of September into the start of October, the Hudson Valley, specifically Harriman State Park, is the ultimate reminder of how impressively alluring nature is

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
