6 Reasons Why Fall is My Favorite Season

Fanpop.com

September 22nd, 2016 was a great day. My favorite season had finally started. It was now officially acceptable for the basic side of me to come out. I traded in my flip-flops for UGG boots, my iced coffee for a PSL (pumpkin spice latte), and began to think of all the exciting things that fall has to offer. Here are six reasons why fall is my favorite season:

1. Foliage

Honestly, who doesn't love seeing all the multicolored leaves falling from the trees? ( A tip for visually impaired people like me who refuse to wear glasses or contacts: Wear them during fall! Especially when driving during the daytime. You won't regret it, I promise! ) Take the earth in for all of its beauty during this season that unfortunately only lasts a little bit over 89 days.

2. Weather

Sweater weather, leggings, baggy sweatshirts...I think YES! Enough said.

3. Halloween

Sure, clowns are creepy (especially considering recent events) but lets be honest about the fact that Halloween is great. Lindsay Lohan said it best in Mean Girls, "In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it."

4. Thanksgiving

I am thankful for thanksgiving break and food...and also my family, friends, boyfriend, and my very existence. OH and my dog, ESPECIALLY my dog.

5. Football

This may not apply to me personally but a happy boyfriend equals a happy me. Football (and sports in general) really has the ability to bring people together. So grab a blanket and your boo (could totally be your dog, no judgement here) and snuggle up on the couch to watch some football.

And perhaps the most important of all...

6. Fall FUNtivities

Going apple picking with bae. Making jack-o'-lanterns with the fam. Haunted hayrides and warm apple cider donuts with friends. All great things to do with the people you love most.

I hope everyone is able to go out and do something fun during this beautiful fall season and learn to love it as much as I do.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
