13 Reasons Fall Is The Best, Whether Or Not You're A Basic White Girl

Instagram

Of all the seasons, fall has to be my favorite. From the time I was young, I looked forward to the beginning of September because it meant that it was time for fall things and activities! 'Basic White Girl' or not, I think everyone can agree that fall has to be the best season of all. While I could sit here and list off all of the many reasons why I have fallen in love with fall (get it?), here are just a few reasons why fall is hands down the best season of all!

1. Leaves changing colors

Giphy

There is nothing prettier than driving past a bunch of trees that have an assortment of colors. Red, orange, yellow, they all make being outside just a little more colorful!

2. Sweater weather

Giphy

I absolutely love getting to break out my thick sweaters and cozy clothes. Being able to be outside with a bunch of layers without being too cold is just the best.

3. The return of warm drinks

Giphy

Between hot chocolate, teas, and even the Pumpkin Spice Lattes, I am always grateful when I can order hot drinks and not feel like I'm boiling from the inside.

4. The flavors

Giphy

Pumpkin is one of my favorite flavors ever. Luckily, during fall, it can be found in so many things. Along with cinnamon and apple, I just love having an excuse to make fall flavored things!

5. Apple picking. And apple cider. And apple donuts. Pretty much anything apple.

Giphy

It's tradition in my family to go to a farm and get the fresh apples from the orchard, the fresh apple cider, and most importantly the apple donuts. I wait all year for them, so I'm always ready for September to roll around.

6. School

Giphy

Ok, you might not agree with this point, but I'm a teacher, so I get excited about going back to school. There is something about getting back into a routine and getting yourself organized that it so satisfying. Plus, you get to see people you haven't seen all summer!

7. THE BUGS HAVE RETURNED TO HELL

Giphy

I don't think this needs an explanation. I don't like bugs, so I like when they are gone.

8. Football season

Giphy

Nothing beats watching a Pats game.

9. Fairs

Giphy

I love fall fairs because they are so full of food and fun and fresh air. I get excited for when they come around every year!

10. Fall campfires > summer campfires

Giphy

I enjoy campfires more when I'm not melting from the heat of the fire, but instead it keeps me nice and toasty.

11. An extra hour of sleep

Giphy

Thanks to Daylight Savings, we get another blessed hour of sleep in the fall. Go ahead and try to tell me you don't need it.

12. The return of good television

Giphy

The summer TV drought ends in mid-September and I cannot be more grateful. I mean, I just miss crying my eyes out because of "This Is Us" every week!

13. It ushers in the holiday season!

Giphy

I LOVE the holidays, so when fall hits, I know it's almost time. After all, it's the most wonderful time of the year!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
