As Summer Doors Close, Fall Doors Open

Fall you are beautiful, and the perfect season to follow the beloved season of Summer.

As Summer Doors Close, Fall Doors Open
Alexa Levin

As the night approaches sooner and the cool currents pop in for weekly visits, we know that Autumn and school are approaching. Summer blues appear but the excitement for pumpkin picking, hot tea, thanksgiving and everything in between starts to build up.

In my opinion, nothing compares to Summer vacation and the weather that comes along with it. Your skin gets clearer, your smile gets bigger, your nights are better and your skin gets darker. Though, when Summer doors close and Autumn doors I accept it because everything about the Fall is enjoyable as well. Ready to get back into a routine, school starts just when I begin to get bored. Don't get me wrong I rather be in summer mode all year long, but school could be so much worse.

The first day back on campus reminds me that school isn't too bad. Seeing your friends across the quad and haven't seen them since May is another reminder that school will be great this semester! Remembering you have English 101 with a teammate of yours is so satisfying and relieving.

The best part about the month of September is that I take advantage of the last visits to the beach. Tasting the last bit of Summer is nice and getting your first taste of Fall is also beautiful. Walking into AC Moore and seeing Fall wreathes and Fall scented candles is depressing as well as stunning.

Fall has a specific smell. It smells like comfort and family and a ton of love. The weather is a nice in between of Summer and Winter and the endless adventures we can go on between Labor Day and Christmas are incredible. Heading out east to go apple picking, or pumpkin picking. Visiting the beautiful fields of Sunflowers. A trip to the city for lunch and a play. The months of Fall are so incredible.

So the next time you complain the Summer is over, school is back again; just remember that it is Autumn you're complaining about and Autumn is a wonderful and eventful season to follow Summer.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
