"Falling" for this season

19
Fall Traditons

Everyone has their own fall traditions that they look forward to doing every year. I love being a part of fall activities and I whole-heartedly enjoy the fall atmosphere. After going pumpkin picking today, I decided that I wanted to write about all of the fall traditions that I participate in.


1. Pumpkin Picking

Going to a pumpkin patch and picking out your perfect pumpkin off of the vine is something that is not only so satisfying, but such a bonding experience for whoever you do it with. Everyone has that pumpkin that they love. Personally, I like the round fat ones with the long stem, but some people prefer the skinny ones, or the super huge ones.


2. Apple Picking

Apple picking is a big activity for my family. It's so fun to climb the trees to find the biggest apple. My family loves to apple pick when they give you those giant sticks to knock down and catch the apples in the little basket. It's a tradition for us to make apple chips after, but a lot of people make pie, or cider, or other apple treats.


3. Apple Cider and Cider Donuts

I am not even a big donut lover, but when it comes to apple cider ones, I can't resist. Apple cider (hot or cold) is also the perfect fall treat.


4. Jumping in Leaf Piles

Seeing piles of leaves on the ground full of reds, oranges, and yellows, makes for the perfect fall atmosphere. Who sees a giant leaf pile and doesn't want to jump in it?


5. Going Through The Corn Maze

I should say "getting lost" in the corn maze instead of going through it. Today, my family and I got so lost in the corn maze that we cut through and made our own path.


6. Haunted Hay Rides

Haunted hay rides definitely scare me, but it's totally a fall night kind of activity. Going with a group of friends and braving it out together screams fall night.


7. Halloween Activities

Halloween parties, decorating for Halloween, picking out a costume, and more, Halloween is a huge part of fall and it forever will be.


8. Bonfires

Making s'mores, playing music, sitting around talking with friends; all of those bonfire activities are my favorite things to do. On a chilly fall night I love to put on cozy warm clothes and sit outside by the fire.

9. Pumpkin Spice Everything

I love pumpkin spice everything, from donuts to muffins to coffee. I love that you can find and eat everything pumpkin flavored, and I love the feeling of your first pumpkin spice coffee of the season.


10. Carving Pumpkins and Roasting the Seeds

Talking about the seeds first, roasted pumpkin seeds are absolutely amazing. They taste just like fall and are the perfect snack. When it comes to carving pumpkins or painting them, it's so fun to see what everyone chooses to do. Whether you have the skill or not, carving a pumpkin is a really fun fall tradition.


Even writing this article made me excited to continue on with all of the fall traditions that I haven't done yet. I hope that everyone reading this takes advantage of the fall season and makes sure they participate in and make their own fall traditions before the season ends.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
