10 Basic Ways Every Girl Can Ring In Fall

Instagram

1. Go apple picking at a local orchard.

If you live in Georgia, I would recommend going to Mercier Orchards. The drive to Blue Ridge is beautiful and the place has delicious treats. Try the apple cider donutsand I promise you they will change your life.

2. Go to a pumpkin patch.

Plan a day of fun picking out the largest pumpkin at the patch. Don't be a bore and go to the store.

3. Get lost in a crazy corn maze.

I have always wanted to go to a corn maze. I like trying new activities and making memories...even if the experience of getting lost might be unsettling.

4. Watch football.

It's finally football season! I know everyone is getting hyped to see their team win. Go Falcons! Go Bulldogs!

5. Get creative and carve pumpkins.

All of us aren't artist, but this is our time to shine.

6. Go trick or treating.

You're never too old to go trick or treating. If you think you are, then grab your younger sibling and throw on a costume. Who doesn't love free candy?

7. Watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" and "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving".

In my family, watching Charlie Brown has always been a tradition. I enjoy sitting down with my family, cozying up near the fire, and hearing Charlie Brown saying, "I got a rock." or Linus expressing his love for the Great Pumpkin.

8. Eat your favorite foods on Thanksgiving.

Candy corn, sweet potato souffle, mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, honey glazed ham, turkey, cranberry sauce, apple cider, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, ALL THE PIES.

9. Go Black Friday shopping.

Black Friday is the only day of the year it's acceptable to wake up extremely early in the morning to go shopping. Just prepare yourself for the main event: the races for the opening store, the fights over TVs, shopping cart pettiness, and making sure you don't get trampled. And don't forget that steal you got. You can pass if off as expensive for Christmas.

10. Enjoy sweater weather.

Winter is coming.

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.

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.
