Fall is most of our favorite seasons. We all have different reasons for that, but mine is for the food. I'll (with a fair amount of shame) have a hot soup any day of the year — even on the hottest summer days. But from the first sign of leaves changing, I embrace my love for hot chai, pumpkin-based baked goods, and my favorite Indian soups publicly with loved ones.

This year more than ever, even those who can barely make toast or cereal have been dusting off their cookbooks. We're not just making homemade pumpkin spice chai — we're eating fried chicken, homemade soups, and ordering TikTok viral drinks from Starbucks.

Below, see some of the food-related fun we have been having this month:

We've been making our own homemade bagels.

We drank ALL the tea.

We ordered Starbucks' secret menu items, approved by their number one fan herself.

OK, so we didn't make our own fried chicken, but we watched other people make it on "Ugly Delicious" and promptly put in our own orders.

We sipped on Vegan Pumpkin Chai every day, sometimes twice a day.

Friendships may have been broken over polarizing views on Dunkin's Ghost Pepper Donut.

We added these drool-worthy pumpkin desserts to our Thanksgiving dessert list.

@diyseconds

Every lazy dessert lover inhaled these two-ingredient pumpkin spice muffins.

@stevita_naturals

We made these dorm-friendly recipes without a kitchen (or the need to leave our beds).

@swoooo

Everyone with a sweet tooth in NYC put in Uber Eats orders for these 5 famous desserts — don't worry, I did the hard work of ensuring most do nationwide delivery, too.

@milkbarstore

Fried food lovers dipped these healthy, homemade fries in every bowl of soup we've been sipping.

@jzeats

We reminded ourselves of the essential fall dessert bucket list.

@nourishing.amy

Hot sauce lovers have been hitting the McDonald's drive-thru more than often for the release of their new spicy nuggets.

@twofoodiesinnj

We considered making going vegan a New Year's resolution with these Trader Joe's vegan must-haves.

@vtastylife

We gave in and accepted this TikTok viral Starbucks drink is honestly just as good as people say it is.

@starbucks

We reevaluated our love for Kraft Mac and Cheese (sorry, 9-year-old self) for a more out-of-the-box recipe — literally.

@boulderlocavore

We made these five dorm-friendly recipes for THAT person who finds an excuse to put cinnamon on everything.

@cinnamonandcoriander

We bought our 10 fave foods from Trader Joe's fall collection.

@oliviacgreen

OK, fine. We bought Trader Joe's out of every fall-themed item they had and we have no regrets.

@traderjoesfl

We took some well-deserved time off baking to buy some S'Mores Pop Tarts.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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.
