First and foremost,The Bugs


When the colder months hit, the bugs tend to go back to hell where they belong. As it is now, flies, wasps, ants, and beetles have taken over and are reigning supreme among us. I don’t know about you but I’m ready to say bye-bye to these pesky pests. Just the same, snakes hibernate during the cold months, which I am definitely more than happy about. With this being said, the timing of their departure can be a bit tedious around my neck of the woods due to the fact that Georgia can stay hot even during the winter months. Last year, I wore a tee shirt and shorts on Christmas. Nevertheless, the bugs are definitely much less in quantity during the Fall and the weather is so much more comfortable. I will take the mild 70 degree weather over the 100 degree days complete with heavy humidity any day of the week. Speaking of weather, this leads me to number 2

The Heat

Good god, it’s been a hot one this year. Walking outside is nothing more than a punch in the face by Satan himself. God forbid you have to work outside in it all day. By the time my poor boyfriend gets home every day, he is borderline heat-stroke from the harsh conditions. It seems like it gets hotter each and every year. Isn’t global warming supposed to push colder air from the ice caps? I love our planet and I care about its future, but a little cold air would be much welcomed right now in the dead of summer.

Pumpkin Everything

Pumpkin pie. Pumpkin Spice Latte. That is all.

Halloween:


Can I get a YASSSSSSSS? Halloween is much more than rowdy children high as a kite on sugar. It’s the time of the year where everyone gets to let out a little bit of their inner dark side. Halloween is like Christmas to some, the time of the year where they celebrate the most. If Halloween is not your thing, please do us all a favor and go back underneath the rock you crawled out from. Also, if you plan on dressing up as Harley Quinn this year, go ahead and ride off on the bandwagon you came in on. Thxxxxx.

The Colors:

Orange, red, yellow, and brown. Something about the way the leaves look as they start to fall is mesmerizing. I don’t know about you, but every year I get so captivated in the beautiful landscapes.

Sweaters and Leggings:


Girl, yes. This may not apply to all. For all the men reading, go ahead and skip to number seven. Unless of course, you too enjoy the comfortable coziness that sweaters and leggings provide. I wouldn’t blame you in the slightest. This is honestly one of the main things I look forward to during the brutal summer months. Boots and scarves are also a major plus. Not only are they comfortable and stylish, a long sweater or even dress can hide the winter weight that pretty much everyone accumulates during the colder months. Even if you’re not concerned with weight gain, most women can agree that we look forward to Fall attire all year round.

The Walking Dead:

YESSSS!!!! FINALLY! Who got Luciled? We are about to find out. I’m taking bets if you want to wager. ;) My vote is on Eugene or maybe even Abraham. Not only is The Walking Dead returning, Grey’s Anatomy, Last Man on Earth, and Once Upon a Time are a few more of my personal favs that have new seasons debuting this Fall. Do you have any TV shows that you are looking forward to? What about the reasons you are looking forward to the Fall season this year? Leave your response in a comment below if you would like. I’m interested to know your opinions! Have a wonderful week and as always thanks for reading. :)

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Barn Pros

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
