8 Reasons Fall Is Hands-Down The Best Season

We can all agree that Fall is the best season out there. No, not just for pumpkin everything either. Fall is one of those seasons that are just awesome because you can literally walk outside and feel normal.. No need to sweat a lot or freeze to death… It is perfect. But there is more to fall than just the awesome temperatures… You’ll be agreeing with me like no tomorrow.

1. Everything scary

Hayrides, haunted houses and Halloween - you name it. Everyone loves Halloween themed movies, whether it's from Disney’s "Halloweentown" or AMC "Jason" movies, there is something for everyone. Yeah, after watching some of these you may find yourself sleeping with the lights on for a few nights!

2. Pumpkin everything

Okay, maybe I did lie—a little pumpkin everything is involved, but come on who doesn’t love something pumpkin? You can have everything from Iced coffee, whoopie pies, blizzards, and etc. You can’t go wrong, and carving pumpkins makes everything okay.

3. Basic girl look

Everyone sees this one and calls it the “basic girl look”. Yoga pants, Uggs, Northface, and Starbucks... Ladies, come on, this right here is comfortable, and I have no shame in being basic if i’m cozy with what I’m wearing.

4. Scenic views

I know with this one I can only speak for Maine, but when you’re driving down side roads, or in the country, you can’t deny how beautiful it looks outside. You have the yellow, pink, reds, and orange colors in the leaves… Nothing can beat that.

5. Thanksgiving

This isn’t just a day, it’s a three day process… You fast the day before and get the stretchy pants ready, then you feast for hours, and recover. I know I’m not the only one who looks forward to this day.

6. Apple picking

For my family this is a tradition. Every year we find ourselves at Randall's or Libby's getting bags on bags of apples. Not only do I love this for the actual picking, but for what comes with it after (apple pie and apple crisp) my favorites!

7. The weather

Don’t get me wrong, I love the hot summer days and getting tan, and the first snow storm of the year, but fall is both of those things combined. You can walk outside in jeans and t-shirt and be so content. That’s what I love, AND your hair doesn’t get all frizzy and messed up!

8. Dinner time

I love fall dinners! Crock pot meals, ovens bakes, and many more. You could have soups everyday and have it be socially acceptable. If you don’t like soups then you’re missing out. But back to the crock pot, you can make anything and everything in that thing and it would be great.

I love fall and everything about it. I know I’m not alone when I say this is what I look forward to every year. You may say you’re not a fan of fall because of what comes after the “S” word, but really consider all the amazing things you can do and appreciate in the season of fall.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

boy in adult clothes

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.
