8 Fun Things You Can Do Now That it is Fall

Fall is my favorite time of the year. The season is the perfect balance of summer and winter. I love the breezy weather, the falling leaves, the bundling up and so much more! Every year I cannot wait for fall to come around and here are eight reasons why!

1. Pumpkin picking

It’s always so much fun to go to a pumpkin patch with your best friends and have fun picking out pumpkins to ultimately take home with you!

2. Corn Mazes

The place that you went to go pumpkin picking with your friends might have a corn maze too and you will have tons of fun trying to find your way out of it, live snapchatting the whole way. Try not to get lost for two hours like we did though!

3. Pumpkin carving

It’s also a lot of fun to carve them pumpkins, they can be extravagant like this one or you could even just carve a simple smiley face!

4. Pumpkin flavored everything

Who doesn’t love pumpkin flavored muffins, cakes, pie, lattes, coffee, donuts etc.? The list goes on and on and you just have to indulge in your favorite pumpkin treat! By the end of fall you’re usually sick of pumpkin flavored everything, but that’s okay you have a whole year to want the treats again!

5. Sweater weather and boots

I know I love when I can finally throw on a sweater and boots without feeling uncomfortably hot. Oversized sweaters are the best on a breezy day and they make you look cute too!

6. Bundling up with a sweater, tea, and a good book

This kind of weather can often make you want to stay indoors bundled up in a blanket, with a nice cup of tea, reading your favorite book. It sounds like the perfect day to me!

7. Actually getting to sleep with a blanket

Finally, it is not 90 degrees in your room and you actually get to sleep with a blanket without having your fan on high. It’s amazing to not wake up feeling overheated!

8. Celebrate Halloween

Last but not least, the holiday that everybody looks forward to when fall comes around. You get to pretend to be someone else for a day and make amazing memories with your friends, what could be better?

Think of everything that you've heard about college... and completely forget it.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Your mom: you can't live with her, but you can't live without her. You love your mom, but she is insanely predictable. Here is a list of things your mom has probably done.

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
