9 Unconventional Reasons To Love Fall

There's more than you autum-atically think about...

Fall is here! And yes, that means lots of wonderful stereotypical things like leaves changing colors and Pumpkin Spice everything, but there's so much more than we don't autumatically think about. (pun intended) So here are 9 reasons to be excited about fall that might not automatically come to mind...

9. Apple Cider

Ok Pumpkin Spice is great and all, but apple cider though. Especially the gallons that you can buy at the grocery store. It's amazing. It is wonderful whether you like to drink it warm or cold, and it is so delicious. It's the perfect fall beverage.

8. COSPLAY!

It's Haloween time and you know what that means! And no, I'm not talking about gorging yourself on free candy. (though that's fun too) I'm talking about how it's the one time of year that cosplayers can appear normal or even cool! You get to wear your costume you've been working on for months or an amazing one that you made a while ago, and people don't stare at you like you're from another planet. It's totally normal; they even appreciate your work! It's a wonderful feeling.

7.) Cheap Candy...

Speaking of Haloween, as soon as it's over is the best time to buy candy. You know how companies put the Halloween logo on candy so that they can gouge the prices up? While that turns on them as soon as Haloween ends. That branded candy price literally drops in half overnight, and it is fantastic. If you hold out long enough, sometimes you can even get it 90% off. Also, It's a good time to get costume pieces cheap if you are a cosplayer. If you want to stock up on candy, now is the perfect time to do it.

6. Fashion is 10x easier

When it comes to clothing, I normally just end up wearing a nerdy T-shirt and jeans. Fall is great because you can wear the same things that you always do, and just add a sweater, hat, and/or scarf, and look super fashionable and comfy. You look twice as cute with practically no extra effort. It's the best season for clothing.

5. Oscar Season Approaches

Are you tired of seeing annoying, megamillion-dollar Blockbusters that have no point aside from marketing? (cough, cough, transformers) Well, you are in luck, because it's almost Oscar Season! You know, that time of year when all the good, artistic (and political) movies start to come out. The ones that nobody hears about until the Nomination lists are announced. Unless you're a film student, in which case it's the time of year you spend all your money on movie tickets. Anyways, the good movies are coming. If you want to see some cinematic art, stay tuned.

4. Staying Inside

So many people talk about how lovely it is to walk outside in the fall, and it absolutely is, but it also is cold. Why would you want to go outside and walk in the cold when you could stay inside and be warm?Fall is the perfect time to curl up on your couch with a cup of hot coco, (or cider) a fire roaring, and a wonderful book or a good movie. (and all the introverts said amen) Why go out when you could curl up and say in?

3. ALL THE GOOD TELEVISION RETURNS

Ok, so I'm clearly not the sporty type. I don't care about football at all. But when my favorite superhero shows return, I get pumped. (Arrow, Agents of Shield, Flash, etc.) All the good American TV shows come back in the fall, so grab a blanket and prepare for some entertaining television. Also, If primetime shows weren't enough for you, STRANGER THINGS SEASON 2 JUST PREMIERED. Grab your favorite blanket, curl up, and start watching!

2. The Bugs are Dying

I swear at least three bees have flown directly at my face and eyes this semester, but guess what? It's getting so cold that all the bugs have started dying. Hooray! I mean if it's gotta be cold, at least there are no more bugs to attack me. It's nice to not be eaten alive by mosquitos everytime you step outside.

Happy Fall!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

University of Kentucky

pointsincase.com

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

The struggles of having an RBF are all too real

1. People asking if you're mad at them.

2. Those people who hand out flyers don't always try to stop you.

3. Creepy guys telling you to smile.

4. "I thought you were a bitch when I first met you."

5. People telling you you'd be "so much prettier if you smiled."

6. Doing your makeup and looking great, which somehow intensifies the bitch face.

7. Regularly explaining "it's just my face."

We all go through certain stages when we have a crush, Tina just explains it better.

That moment that someone you never looked twice at suddenly makes you do a double take out of no where.

But you can't have a crush, that's outrageous. It's all in your head.

Because you don't have a crush, there's no reason to tell anyone about anything. Right?

But then they do something irresistible and you start to lose it.

Now accepting the fact you have a crush, you have to keep it under control.

Then there's the part where you tell your friends who will claim they called it.

They'll be excited and cheer you on. That's until they realize that your crush is all you'll be talking about.

Your obsession has become so bad, that your Facebook stalking is getting out of control.

But your friends will try and help move things along any way they can. That doesn't mean it will be any helpful though.

As time goes on, you start having fantasies about the two of you and it's starting to scare you a little.

You can't focus on anything because all your attention is on them and everything they do.

Anybody who comes near your crush is now an enemy, and you are willing to fight for your crush.

When you see them, you act like an idiot. Trying to hide your feelings may not be as discrete as you think.

Keeping your feelings inside will start to be harder and harder until you can't keep it inside anymore.

Who knows, maybe it will work out? Take a chance.

Everybody hurts sometimes.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

1. You feel like an elder.

2. You may feel lonely.

3. Senioritis is more real than ever.

4. You may feel a little down sometimes.

5. Fear of missing out won't be as real.

6. You are a college pro.

7. You'll have more free time.

8. You're happy you're still in school.

9. You feel like a guru.

10. You continue to grow.
