1. Order a PSL

Screw the haters. You order that PSL and you embrace every divine moment of it. It only happens once a year, just live your best life and accept the inevitable "basic white girl" label.

2. Go to a football game

3. Have a bonfire

4. Make homemade hot chocolate

Check out this quick and easy recipe from All Recipes. A little time and effort make all the difference in a cup of creamy hot cocoa when compared to packets of Swiss Miss.

5. Go apple picking

6. Have a scary movie marathon

7. Go through a haunted house

8. Take a nature walk

9. Do a corn maze

10. Knit a scarf

Step one: learn to knit.

11. Bake cookies from scratch

You can never go wrong with this classic recipe for Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies.

12. Alternatively, bake those delectable boxed Pillsbury cookies

13. Spend a rainy day reading a book

14. Compile a soothing playlist

Mine consists of Bon Iver, Ben Howard, The National, Alabama Shakes, and Max Jury.

15. Donate blood

What's a better way to celebrate Halloween than getting some blood sucked out of you? According to the Community Blood Center, blood shortages are most common during the summer and winter months, so this is a great time to start getting in the habit of giving blood throughout the holidays. And in the wake of natural disasters like Hurricane Harvey, the demand for donations skyrockets. Suck up that fear of needles and go save some lives.

16. Go stargazing

17. Offer to rake a neighbor's yard

Don't make the little old man next door do it all by himself.

18. Bake a pie

Then eat said pie all by yourself in one sitting.

19. Take a technology break

20. Go to a local fair or festival

Pawnee Harvest Festival anyone?

21. Donate your old winter clothing and gear

Sweaters, coats, hats, gloves, boots... if you aren't using them, someone else will. Find a local shelter or clothing drive to donate your unused winter gear to (staying far away from the Salvation Army and other charities that exploit, discriminate against, and deceive the people they claim to help).

22. Make homemade soup

23. Start a Five Minute Journal

Get yours here.

24. Make s'mores

Or if you're like me, just eat all the chocolate.

25. Plant bulbs with your mom

Bulbs are plants that go in the ground during the fall to bloom in the springtime. Take a day with your mom/motherly figure to plant bulbs outside and spend some quality time together.

26. Go on a hayride

Unless you're allergic to hay.

27. Bake pumpkin bread

To go with your PSL, of course.

28. Declutter your room

Spring Cleaning doesn't have to come just once a year. With the colder weather coming, you're going to be spending more time inside and it's important to keep your environment clean, fresh, and welcoming. Clear out your closet, get rid of things you don't need and aren't using, and try out some feng shui techniques so your living space can become a breeding ground for positive energy.

29. Treat yourself to some Bath & Body Works fall scents

30. Or make your own candles

31. Read a Stephen King novel

32. Start a new TV show

Fall is full of television premieres, and it's also the perfect time to binge shows that will be returning this winter, like the CW's The 100.

33. Do a DIY project off of Pinterest

34. Watch every Tim Burton movie

35. Have a pet costume contest with friends

36. Learn the "Thriller" dance

37. Go for an early jog in the crisp air

38. Make caramel apples

39. Press leaves

40. Have a Harry Potter marathon

There are so many ways to enjoy all the beauty, coziness, and fun that fall has to offer. Go out there and make the most of it!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
