Fall Is Here

Time for pumpkin spice everything.

Less than a week ago, Thursday, September 22nd, 2016, was a momentous occasion.

It was the first day of fall.

Everyone knows that fall is really the best, and not only because I like pumpkin spice lattes. The best fall drink is in fact a chai tea latte, but that is a discussion for another article.

The truth of the matter is that fall deserves an article dedicated to appreciating the season that is always gone too soon.

Picture this: It is three o'clock on a sunny, breezy day. Even though it would normally be hot outside, today it is a balmy seventy two degrees. It is just chilly enough that sitting in the sun is netiher too hot or too cold. A small breeze blows by, caressing your face and stirring the fallen, crispy leaves around your feet. This weather is perfect for literally anything you want or need to do. As you take a sip of your warm *chai tea latte* everything is right in the world.

Also, clothes that have been hiding deep in your closet are going to see the light of day again. Fall is flannel season. Fall is sweater season. Fall is even the start of (dare I say it?) boot season. I do not know a single person who does not look more attractive in a flannel. May be that's just because I love them so much myself, but I doubt it.

Fall also invites in Halloween. Now, it's acceptable to watch horror movies, Hocus Pocus, and the Spooky Scary Skeletons video on repeat. Corn mazes, costumes, candy, oh my!

Summer and winter are nice, but true perfection lies in between. Don't let this beautiful season slip away, because it will sadly be gone all too soon.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
