Fall is obviously the best time of the year... But why is that?

Fall is without a doubt my absolute favorite time of year, but other than the obvious beauty of the leaves falling, what's so great about it, anyway?

1. The air is literally more crisp during this time of year... Yes, even in Florida!

Once it starts hitting the end of October and you walk outdoors, you will quickly discover that even with the Florida humidity, it still is nicer outside than usual. The air begins to feel a little cleaner and crisper as the months inch closer to the holiday season!

2. Three words... Fall. Scented. Candles.

Fall scented candles are personally my absolute FAVORITE just because who doesn't love a little pumpkin spice or white chocolate Christmas scent taking over their room?! I honestly always get so excited as the holidays approach because I know that my room will always be smelling SOLID...

P.S., definitely hit up Target for help on this one!

3. Everyone seems to be a little happier during these months.

Ever heard of seasonal depression? Honestly, I really believe it after witnessing how much happier and kinder everyone seems to be during fall. I really love these months just because everyone really seems to be more friendlier and kinder with a little bit of "holiday spirit."

4. Falls means.... Flannels!

That's right, fall is the one time of the year (especially for us Floridians) where it is absolutely acceptable at any time of the week to break out that stripped red flannel, or whichever color it may be!

5. Good food (calories don't count when it's the holidays)

Grandma's signature pumpkin pie? Thanksgiving turkey with mom's signature gravy? You can, in FACT, eat all of this goodness without guilt when the holidays approach because we hold out all year for these days.

All in all, fall is absolutely the best time of year and the most exciting to look forward to in my book, for more reasons than one!!

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.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
