5 Reasons To Get Excited That Fall Has Arrived
Starbucks Press Room

With the first day of Fall being a few days ago, many great things will begin to happen. The pumpkin spice lattes and cozy flannels will make their big debuts! Here are a few things that make me realize that Fall has officially begun.

5. PUMPKIN PUMPKIN EVERYTHING

I absolutely live for anything pumpkin. Candles, lattes and just plain old Pumpkins sitting on the porch. Pumpkin scents fill the air and get people ready for the long crisp fall. Some of my favorites happen to be the fall candles from Bath and Body Works and the pumpkin iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts.. Sorry Starbucks.


4. Flannels

Flannels are definitely the biggest fall essential in my opinion. They literally can be paired with any outfit. Wearing a dress with one tied around your waist. You could even just throw one over a t-shirt!! Flannels are cozy and comfy. They come in so many different styles and colors.. what could be better?




3. Leaves are falling

A big part of fall is that the leaves will fall from the trees and collect in giant groups on the ground. So many colors; yellows, orange and red bring vibrant energy to the trees that have nothing left but their branches.


2. Carving Pumpkins and Decorating

Carving pumpkins, painting pumpkins and everything else about pumpkins definitely is a big part of Fall. Going to the Pumpkin Patch with good friends, taking pictures and picking the most perfect pumpkins are some of the best parts.


1. Bonfires and Lots of Snuggles

All in all, the best part about fall is being able to sit around a fire and have a good time with your friends. Snuggling and spending time with your pals is the greatest thing. Throw in a scary story or two and you will be set.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
