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've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
