Why Autumn Is the Best Season

Pumpkin spice, baggy sweaters, and Trick-or-Treating.

The word ‘autumn’ alone is such a pretty sounding word, yet there is so much more to this enchanting season that really puts it above all the others. Summer-lovers, I encourage you to keep an open mind while reading these valid points.

Holidays

What else could be better than dressing up as your favorite or celebrity or inanimate object and prancing around with your friends, receiving unending heaps of candy? Or, if you’re like me and a smidge too old for that (even though you really want to, but it’s not socially acceptable without people thinking you’re a pedophile or mentally insane), you still throw on a costume, but instead go to a super fun Halloween party with spiked witch’s brew punch and candy corn-flavored shots.

Scenery

No one can deny that autumn is by far the most colorful season with its strikingly beautiful leaves and pale-colored skies. Nothing can satisfy a soul faster than a cluster of trees, all painted bright yellow and candy apple red. Speaking of apples...

Food

From yummy pumpkin pies to pumpkin spice lattes, you will surely find any food with a pumpkin flavor option. Not to mention warm cinnamon sangria and homemade apple pies to warm you up from the outside chill! Lastly, don’t forget about when Thanksgiving comes around and the table is jam-packed with pies, potatoes, and turkey galore.

Clothing

And who cares if you put on a little extra poundage from all that yummy food? At least you have comfy, over-sized sweaters to cover it up! It’s honestly a blessing when you can go to class in basically tight sweatpants (leggings) paired with a pullover and still look half decent. And for when you go out, booties are always a solid choice that are much comfier than the average heel.

Neutral weather

Personally, I’m not a summer person. There is nothing glamorous about the hot 98-degree sun slowly melting off your face makeup and bringing your skin to a harsh, cherry red. Autumn gives off that warm, soft glow but chilly wind at the same time, making it the perfect temperature to play sports outside or have a lazy day in when you feel like it.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
