In Ellijay, GA, It Is Officially Fall, Ya'll!

Why I am okay with being a basic Georgia girl.

As I am well aware the first official day of fall is September 22, but to me personally I feel like fall is official in October.

Fall is my favorite time of year, and gives me the ultimate reason to be more basic than I already am. Honestly, there is nothing wrong with being basic and enjoying the finer things in life. So, here is a compiled list of all my favorite basic things.

1. Football Season is in Full Swing

Nothing says fall time quite like football season, more specifically college football. I love it all. Getting ready for the games, tailgaiting, and yelling at the tv when your team loses by a miraculous Hail Mary (looking at you Bulldogs.)

2. Coffee, Coffee, Coffee

Hot, cold, iced, frozen, coffee just seems to taste better on a nice cool morning.

3. Pumpkin Spice Everything

Hate all you want but I cannot get enough of pumpkin everything. Candles, food, coffee, or scents, I feel like I need to bulk buy everything just so I don't run out because apparently there will never be enough.

4. Boots, Cardigans, and Scarves..oh my

The first officially day of fall I think my closet threw up all my scarves, and I had to dig out all my winter attire and make sure I look extra basic.

5. The town I live in.

I do believe I live in the most beautiful town there is, especially when it comes to fall time. In fact, Ellijay is known for it's tourist season (October-December) with the changing of the leaves and the Apple Festival. I still ooh and ahh over the leaves changing and all the basic things I can do during the tourist season, and I am not even a tourist.

People either give me a hard time for being basic or say that fall time reminds them of me, both of which are compliments to me. So, while you're being over there bitter about things I will be sipping on my pumpkin spice latte' without a care in the world.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
