Autumn's Minor Downfalls

Yes, pun intended.

Welcome to the season of PSL-obsession, scarf wearing, and the same pictures of people going apple picking. I think autumn is cool, don't get me wrong. I just think we sometimes forget the rough parts of fall, too. When you think about it, autumn really isn't as great as it seems.

1. The crazy weather.

Is it hot? Is it cold? I thought summer was over, but a 75-degree day doesn't sound much like autumn to me. And listen, warm weather is awesome, but not when I've already sent all my summer clothes home for the next six months!

2. Pumpkin spice overload.

I can be a "basic white girl." I'm not saying I don't love PSL season, because Pumpkin Spice Lattes actually give me life. But that being said, pumpkin spice Cheerios, yogurt, and tortilla chips are a bit far. And don't even get me started with the rumor of pumpkin spice Clorox wipes that was going around. Thank god that stayed a rumor.

3. Hurricane season.

The end of summer into the beginning of fall means hurricanes. This particular fall, we had Hurricane Matthew, which was so intense that Disney had to shut down. Disney. Shut. Down. Are you freaking kidding me? Hurricanes are the worst.

4. Allergens come out to play.

Jumping in leaves seems like a great idea until you remember that you are literally allergic to the earth. The leaves are changing, the weather swaps between hot as hell and freezing within days, and one person's lungs just can't handle the confusion!

5. Apple picking

Apple picking can be fun; I have a soul. But, it's overpriced, and you buy so many that they all go bad anyway! Especially on a college budget, when you can't buy the supplies to make different apple desserts. Here's an idea: go apple-picking in the supermarket, find a nice tree in your front yard, and take your cutesy pictures with your store-bought apples in front of your own trees. No orchard necessary.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
