Fall is one of my favorite seasons. The leaves are falling, the air is getting colder, I can start using blankets, and soon the snow will start falling. I love the scents of fall as well. For those of you trying to stay in fall forever (or at least until summer) and those trying to get in the fall mood, these scents are for you.

1. Apple Pie

Apples are a classic fall scent. For those that live in Washington, you know that local apples are harvested from August through November. Not only are apples a classic, but apple pie around the holidays is perfect and the mix of cinnamon and apple gives it a nice kick.

Looking for an apple pie candle to try? Check out the Warm Apple Pie Candle, $7.99 on Candlemart by Hanna's which offers good prices on high-quality candles like this one!

2. Pumpkin Pie

Just as apple pie is a classic around the holidays, pumpkin pie is just as much of a staple if not more and I'm sure many of you are chomping at the bit to get your Pumpkin Spice Lattes before they are out of season again. This Pumpkin Pie Candle from Yankee Candle is super sweet and is only $11!

3. Christmas Morning Latte

The Christmas Morning Latte is available year-round despite the name and is a Chai and White Chocolate latte that tastes and smells amazing. While Better Homes and Gardens released these wax cubes as limited edition in 2013, you can still find them on Amazon or Ebay at a pretty low price.

4. S'Mores 

While some may argue that s'mores are a summer necessity for camping trips, they are also a sweet smell of eBay trips in fall and one of the best ways to say an ode to summer as fall starts. These cute candles from Target are cutely packaged and only $9.99.

5. Apple Cinnamon

Back to the apples. As a girl from Washington, I lived in a community surrounded by orchards and apples felt like home. Adding a slight taste of cinnamon made them better and was an added improvement to the local commodity. These apple cinnamon wax melts from Glade make any dorm room or living area smell like home and Mom's cooking.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.
