WHO IS EXCITED ABOUT FALL??? I sure as hell am so stoked. Fall is definitely my favorite season out of all of them.

The first thing that I love about fall is the weather change. I am from Texas so the summer heat is absolutely brutal. You can tell that fall is coming when what is normally 114-degree weather changes into 70-degree weather. I absolutely love how it's not super cold, but also not super hot. The crisp Autumn air gives me LIFE. I no longer have to be covered in a constant sheen of sweat. I can wear cute sweaters and jackets and finally stop dying in the Texas heat.

The second thing that I love about fall is the holidays. Halloween and Thanksgiving are two of the most fun holidays. No matter how old you are, Halloween is always a blast. Whether you are a 3-year-old dressed up as a princess or a college kid dressed up as a schoolgirl, you can enjoy every minute of Halloween. Now that I'm older, it's not really socially acceptable to go trick-or-treating, but trust me, if I could, I would.

In addition to Halloween, Thanksgiving is probably my all-time favorite part about fall. Every year for Thanksgiving, my family and I go to New York to spend the holiday with our family friends. The changing of the leaves and the weather really just symbolize the fact that I will be going to New York and spending time with some of my best friends. We always spend the whole week there and because New York is such a big city, there is always something new to do. The whole concept of Thanksgiving just makes me so happy because it's a time when my family comes together and we all celebrate.

Wanna know the best part about fall: WE ARE CLOSER TO CHRISTMAS.

There must be something wrong with you if you don't enjoy Christmas. As soon as October rolls around, you know that I am blasting Christmas music. My family and I always put up our tree the day after Thanksgiving. We. Don't. Waste. Time. The Christmas decorations are OUT on November 23rd.

So, if people call you a basic bitch for loving fall and pumpkin spice lattes, I am a basic bitch with you.

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.
