Fall For Fall

I do every year.

Fall For Fall
Jessica Fuqua

Finally, the weather is beginning to feel like Fall. I woke up the other morning and felt the cool breeze in the air-- it wasn't too much, but it was just enough to bring that excited feeling back to my bones. My body sensed the slight change immediately as I walked out my front door. Pretty soon, I'll be wearing sweaters instead of t-shirts and Toms instead of flip flops.

I don't have a favorite time of the year, honestly. I love each season equally. There are several different aspects of each individual season that bring a smile to my face. With Fall, my favorite part is the crisp air that whips sweetly around me. I also love the changing of colors in the landscape and how the sunset and sunrise also changes. I love wearing sweaters and feeling all cozy and warm.

I'm excited for October. Pumpkin carving, hot chocolate, baking cookies, bonfires and Halloween are just a few wonderful things that October brings to my mind.

Plus, change is nice. Yes, summer is fun and amazing. However, after ninety days of walking around on the sun, I'm ready for some cooler weather. Living in the South during summertime is no joke. I do love to swim and lay on the beach catching some rays-- don't get me wrong. I also love football season and enjoy the other beautiful and fun-filled moments that fall brings.

I don't care about pumpkin spice drinks or Ugg boots-- or scarves, really, because they just burn me up.

I'm thankful for the season change. It's a refreshing time for me and many others. Fall always creates something delightful and inspires me to do so. You can't resist the allures of this season-- whether it be her varied pallette of colors or her gentle, coolness-- something will draw you in for a while. You'll belong to a new season until it's time for the next one to roll around.

It's such a beautiful and amazing world we live in. Thank you, Jesus.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
