7 Ways To Literally Pumpkin Spice Everything
All Recipes

Fall is almost officially here and with it pumpkin spice! Pumpkin spice seemed to come early though as Starbucks announced its fall flavors, including the beloved pumpkin spice latte, earlier this month. Pumpkin spice lattes have been drawing out basic white girls for years now, (and for the first time this year, admittedly, I as well!) The craze of pumpkin spice may have started with just lattes, but it has gone soooo much further than that! From candles to every type of food imaginable, it’s EVERYWHERE!!! For some, two pumpkin spice lattes a day is enough, but for those who it isn’t, here are seven ways to literally pumpkin spice everything:


1. Pumpkin Spice Gum

When you’re not drinking your pumpkin spice latte or eating your pumpkin spice Oreos, this is perfect to keep you going! Chewing this gum in between meals or long breaks between sips allows you to be 100% pumpkin spice all of the time. Taking 2-3 at a time is recommended. Just 5 packs of this a week for the next 12 weeks and you’ll be good! (it’s certainly cheaper than smoking)


2. LIP BALM!!!

There are going to be times when you have to stop chewing and eat something. Sometimes, the food you eat won’t be pumpkin spice flavored. That’s where this bad boy comes into play! Simply apply the lip balm before *(and after) each bite and you’ll be in pumpkin spice heaven 24/7!

**(recommended not required)

*(highly recommended)


3. Even The Plates!

When the lip balm won’t cut it, ensure your food tastes mildly like pumpkin spice by soaking it a plate or bowl with this dish soap. To pumpkin spice your life you have to pumpkin spice your plates! This especially helps with stronger tasting meals such as Indian food. (For scenarios involving Indian food ensure to use a pumpkin spice cleaned BOWL. This will have a higher surface area to food ratio.)



4. Bubble Up!

Granted this one says pumpkin pie, but it’s the same thing. After enjoying your pumpkin spice meal, get cozy with a nice warm PUMPKIN SPICE SHOWER!!! That’s right, what was once thought an impractical dream has now become a reality with this pumpkin spice shampoo/body wash 2 in 1.



5. Study Up!

After the shower get warmed up in bed with a good book! That’s right, it has even infected literature. But! This is what it takes to be pumpkin spice everything! You need to be thinking of it at all times!!! This murder mystery novel is a guaranteed great night in. If just one won’t satisfy your pumpkin spice needs, here’s another. (They all seem to be about murder… huh?). And if murder mysteries aren’t your thing, don’t be afraid to pull out some old recipes, read up on the history of pumpkin spice, or even change some recipes you know to add pumpkin spice! Like lasagna!!!


6. Don't Forget The Dog!

Finally, a way you can smell your dog AND have the sense of drinking coffee! While in bed reading about pumpkin spice, why not let Daisy cuddle up close to smell her. Additionally, the dog will love it and become just as addicted as everyone else has!! It’s a win-win! This shampoo will revolutionize the dog community as we know it.

If giving your dog a bath is something that hasn’t been done in years, then please do so. But if you just gave them a wash or completely disregarded the last sentence then there’s another option! Pumpkin Spice Pet Cologne!!! … yes, it is real. I really just can’t even at this point.


7. SPRAY EVERYTHING!!!

Last but not least, the go-to for all pumpkin-spice-lacking problems. Simple, just spray it! This go-to universal solution goes beyond just "rooms" as it advertises. See a wall, no a BUILDING that needs to be spiced up, SPRAY IT! See a friend that needs to get pump(kin)ed, SRAY IT! (not in their face or eyes). Are you out late bored working on homework, SPRAY IT! In all reality, it works on *everything! It will make friends appear out of nowhere, hair grow, and cause you to live forever!!!

*(results may vary)


All in all, pumpkin spice is everywhere, and you’ll be sure to make it LITERALLY everything with this list. If you follow these seven steps this fall, you will have a 100% pumpkin spiced life!

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
