Fall is the perfect time to go out an explore nature because the weather is cooling down and it feels great to get out and explore! I happen to love caves and like to visit any cave that I can get to-- no matter where. Here is a list I compiled of ten of the best caves in the state of Alabama. I found a lot of my information from this website which also is great for exploring all different areas in your state at the click of a button.

1. Rattlesnake Saloon Cave-- Tuscumbia, AL


I have had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant/cave and I love it. If you ever get the chance, I suggest going!

2. Sauta Cave-- Scottsboro, AL

On summer nights, some 300,000 grey bats emerge from the cave-- as you can see pictured above.

3. Stephens Gap-- Woodville, AL

Simply incredible.

4. Tumbling Rock Cave-- Scottsboro, AL

This cave happens to be over six miles long!

5. Manitou Cave-- Fort Payne, AL

6. Russell Cave National Monument-- Bridgeport, AL

This cave happens to be the third longest mapped cave in Alabama.

7. Rickwood Caverns-- Warrior, AL

8. Desoto Caverns-- Childersburg, AL

This is my personal favorite because I went to this cave many times as a little kid. I think it is absolutely stunning.

9. Neversink Cave Preserve-- Jackson County, AL

This photo just shows how MASSIVE this cave is. Gorgeous.

10. Cathedral Caverns-- Grant, AL

Another one of my favorites because of how massive the opening to enter is. Once you get inside your tour guide turns off all the lights and shows you just how pitch black the inside of a cave is. Truly mesmerizing.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Blonde hair, don't care!

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
