9 Reasons Fall Vibes Are The Best Vibes

The new beginnings.

The summer is quickly coming to an end. While some people might be sad that the summer is coming to a close, I am quite happy. While I do enjoy summer, I cannot wait for the leaves to change, the temperature to drop, and those glorious fall holidays to come back. Here are a few reasons why fall is the best season of the year, in no particular order.

1. The new beginnings

Giphy

To me there is nothing quite as satisfying as going school supply shopping. Maybe it's the chance to start again, knowing that what you did last semester does not determine how successful you will be this semester, or maybe it's just because I love having brand new notebooks and pens to take notes with. Either way, there is something about it that leaves me feeling refreshed and ready to take on the new semester and embrace the new season.

2. The leaves changing color

Giphy

I love walking out of my house or out of an academic building and seeing the leaves in all different colors. Along with the leaves falling, the temperature falls too. Because of these two things, it makes me want to be outside a lot more than I was outside during the summer. I have spent hours outside before in the nice cool fall weather studying on the quad and genuinely loving every minute of it because of the atmosphere.

3. Halloween

Giphy

Halloween is by far one of my favorite holidays of the fall. No matter what age you are, you are never too old to celebrate whether you celebrate by a Halloween party, trick-or-treating, or my personal favorite going to discount candy after the holiday is over. Even if you don't do anything, settle in with a scary movie and some dollar store candy (yes it's the same kind of candy just cheaper!)

4. Football

Giphy

Now I am not a huge football fan. I don't have a specific team that I root for. With that being said, I have always loved going to football games in high school. I think it was the sense of community that was at the game, but also my alma mater had a really good football team and we won a lot.

5. Going to the pumpkin patch

Giphy

I love going to the pumpkin patch, walking around, taking cute photos for Instagram, and then ultimately finding a pumpkin that I can carve. I would be grateful if my pumpkin turns out half as well as the one in the picture above. It's a great activity for people of all ages and is a family-friendly event!

6. Thanksgiving

Giphy

I love Thanksgiving. Not only because you get to spend time with your family while eating great food, but also because it is so close to when winter break is. Students go from Thanksgiving break back to school and have a couple of weeks before they are back home for winter break. Not to mention watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has become a tradition with my family.

7. Fall fashion

Giphy

I love fall fashion. I love being able to go to class with a hoodie and leggings and feel just as comfortable as if I was wearing pajamas to class. The fashion and the colors of the clothing are great and honestly make me so happy.

8. 13 Nights of Halloween

Giphy

On Freeform, still more commonly known as ABC family, they always have the 13 Nights of Halloween every October. They play movies such as Twitches, Hocus Pocus and so many more classic Halloween movies. For me this sets the tone of everything to come and it makes me so happy. No matter how many times I see some of these classics, they never get old.

9. Perfect weather for Netflix binges

Giphy

With the weather cool, it is the perfect opportunity to open up the windows, turn on your favorite Netflix show, grab a cozy blanket and maybe some tea or hot chocolate and settle in for the night and binge watch.

These are just a few reasons that I love fall. Let me know down in the comments below; what is your favorite season and why?

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.
