New York continues to be the city that never sleeps. No matter what season we’re in, there always seems to be something going on. Summer brought the heat and along with in many activities. There were movies in the park, restaurant week, and several beach events. You would think that because it’s officially Fall and the temperature has dropped, New Yorkers would want to stay indoors, but NO! Fall activities are officially in swing, so here’s my list of things to do during the fall season.

1. New York City Wine and Food Festival

NYC Wine and Food Festival is one of the best city food festivals around, with food packed parties throughout various locations in NYC. Festival begins October 13 to 16, 2016. http://nycwff.org/

2. Giant Pumpkin Weekend

This event is held at the New York Botanical Garden on October 22 and 23, 2016. Carve a pumpkin with friends while sipping on spiked apple cider! http://www.nybg.org/home/

3. The Rink at Rockefeller Center

The center is located Midtown West in Manhattan. Gather your family and friends and go skate at the city's most iconic rink. The rink opens in mid-October and will still opened till April 1, 2017. https://therinkatrockcenter.com/

4. NYC Marathon 2016

Five Boroughs, One City. This marathon travels across all five boroughs on Sunday November 6, 2016. Get involved and race for a good cause. http://www.tcsnycmarathon.org/

5. Comedy Festival

They say laughter is a good medicine, and with everything we have going on in our lives we definitely have to stop and laugh a little. This year's festival features comedians like Tracy Morgan, Bridget Everett, Trevor Noah and more. New York Comedy Festival kicks off November 1, 2016 through November 6, 2016. Festival will be held at various comedy clubs and venues in New York. http://nycomedyfestival.com/

6. 90th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

The 90th Thanksgiving Parade kicks off in just 46 days. Thanksgiving Day is Thursday November 24, 2016 and this annual parade is always a favorite to watch on that day. The annual pageant host giant balloons, live performances and many of our favorite and children's favorite all in one spot. http://social.macys.com/parade/

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.

Because have you ever had to endure grilling your foot on a George Foreman?

1. When he just wanted bacon from his George Foreman grill

2. When he had money (and Jan) issues

3. When he got upstaged at Phyllis' wedding

4. When he unintentionally saved Meredith from rabies

5. When he wore a "bisexual" suit

6. When he had to apologize to Jesus

7. When his GPS drove him into a lake

8. When he had to deal with Ryan as his boss

9. When he couldn't fulfill his most generous empty promise

10. When this happened

11. When he struggled with a X-Mas break up

12. When he had to defend his generosity

13. When he threw a classy Christmas party for Holly but she had a boyfriend

14. When he had to stand up to peer pressure

15. When Toby was "Toby-ish"
