8 Reasons I'm Ready for Fall

Bring on pumpkin everything!

Sep 12, 2016

School has began, the days are getting shorter, and the leaves will soon start to change. With fall approaching us some things haven't yet changed! It is still 85 degrees and hot outside. Fall will here in a couple of weeks and here in North Carolina it is still hot and humid outside. I honestly can not wait for fall and the cool weather it brings, along with so many other things!

1. Cute clothes!!!

I dress so much more cute in the fall than summer. With so many options to choose from while layering clothes how could I not? There are scarves, cardigans, leggings, boots, and sweaters. Different varieties all the same style, but all still very cute.

2. Pumpkin flavored everything.

Yes, I am basic and I love the pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin flavored desserts, coffee creamer, and even pumpkin scented candles. It is all such a fall right of passage.

3. Cool weather!

No more dying of heat exhaustion, sweating, or dehydration. Fall gives us nice weather with a cool breeze. Cooler than the summer but warmer than the winter. What a perfect combination.

4. Football!

Fall brings along the greatest sport ever played.

There is nothing like watching football whether it be high school on Friday nights, college on Saturday, or NFL on Sunday. In the south, we love us some football.

5. Haunted houses and scary movies.

Who doesn't love being scared during October and Halloween?

6. Dark colored makeup.

I am a makeup addict but fall brings along those plum colored lipsticks, nails, and eye shadows; definitely my favorite!

7. The Fair.

County or state, they are all fun and exciting. One of the best fall activities to try.

8. THANKSGIVING!

One of the best holidays just so happens to be during the fall. This is the start of the holiday season and the best time to enjoy family and friends; to reflect on life and all that your'e thankful for! Not to mention the all the food at dinner is pretty great too.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

LaGrange College

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.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
