5 Reasons Fall Should Be Your Favorite Season

1. Cooler weather.

Okay, so it rarely snows in eastern North Carolina. But it still feels way better than it does in the middle of summer. I love when it starts to cool down and we can finally wear hoodies and leggings to class everyday. It also makes football season that much more enjoyable when you can tailgate without dripping sweat.

2. Halloween.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. It's an excuse to watch scary movies all of October. Even as an adult, you still get to dress up as whatever you want. Halloween themed candy is way better than normal candy. It's all around a great time.

3. Fall scented candles.

Even the fall scented candles are better than any of the others. Smells like pumpkin, vanilla, or cranberry just make your home seem so much more cozy. I don't know how, but they do. If you haven't tried the Pumpkin Pecan Waffles candle from Bath & Body Works, you're seriously missing out!

4. Pumpkin patches.

There is nothing more "Fall" than going to a pumpkin patch and picking pumpkins. Just being around all of that puts me in a good mood. And you can take them home and carve them, which is even more fun.

5. Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is even better than Halloween to me. The food is the best part. Ham, turkey, green bean casserole, macaroni and cheese, and sweet potato casserole are just a few things that come to mind. And getting to eat it with your family makes it that much better.

The list could go on about all the things I love about Fall, but it might be endless. What are some of the things that you love about Fall?

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
