Appreciate the chilly season and all it has to offer

Fall is Coming

With the summer months coming to an end, and school soon to be in session there are a few things that everybody is excited for. I'm not just talking about Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks - to be honest I never liked them anyway - but the small things that really make you love the chilly months before the winter holiday season.

Fall can seem pretty quick considering how quickly people put up holiday decorations or even preparing for the new year. So, I pledge to appreciate the fall a little more and recognize the little characteristics of the cozy season that make life a little more bare-able.

1. Halloween

One of the biggest holidays of the year and it seems to fly by so fast. I don't know about you, but my favorite part of Halloween is most definitely the scary movies, haunted houses, and costumes. I find most of the costumes hilarious and who can say no to a good haunted house. Halloween is one day in the fall and it literally lasts one day. It doesn't get as celebrated as Christmas - which seems to last for months.

2. Leaves

Iliza Schlesinger basically calls out every girl who loves fall (specifically autumn leaves) in her stand up, Freezing Hot, but what I don't understand is what's there not to love. The leaves and the weather are the two of the greatest things to love about fall. It's aesthetically pleasing, breathtaking and heartbreaking all at the same time. The leaves each have their own shade as they're dying, but we need to appreciate the colorful beauty before white covers the branches.

3. Hockey Season

Hockey season in October an ends in June. Needless to say, the start of hockey season is something to look forward to.

4. Hot Chocolate

(or any preferred autumn themed drink)

Every person has a go to fall drink, personally I love hot chocolate and chai tea, but that's just me. Retail and coffee joints really take advantage of this season and you should too, because it only comes once a year and before you know it, the Christmas cups are coming out or your New Year's resolution prevents you from drinking said festive drink.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
