Yes, it is August, and it IS time to get started decorating, celebrating. I mean, yes, it totally is only less than a 100 days away and I should have totally started earlier, but it's okay, I can catch up.

Technically, Autumn doesn't start until like September 22, but Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Latte (AKA PSL) arrives in stores September. I have to prepare for this. I just can't one day get over my summer iced coffee and into a fall iced coffee, I have to ease into it.

Spooky time should be year round. Ghouls, ghosts, and witches? Sounds like my normal wardrobe anyway. I mean the Sanderson Sister's who? Don't you mean me, myself and I?

So we have to get ready for it, but how?

1. Watch Scary Movies

Giphy

Yes, scary movies are good all year, but to really get you into the Spooky Time spirit, gotta watch the OG scary movies.

2. Watch Spooky Movies

Giphy

Now that the horror is out, now you can watch the fun scary movies. Scream anyone? You have 5 to choose from.

3. Pumpkin anyone?

Giphy

Pumpkin flavored anything. LITERALLY ANYTHING. Coffee? Yes. Donuts? Yep. Candles? You betcha. Pumpkins? Of course. Decorative, edible, smashable, carvable. Pumpkins can do MANY THINGS.

4. Watch the CW Pumpkin Dancing Man

Giphy

I don't know what this is from, or how it even exists, but I love it and it is my mood from August 1 to November 5th.

5. Costumes

Giphy

It is time to start thinking about costumes. Are you going to do a group one with your friends? With your significant other? Are you going to be something extravagant? Be something funny? The time to start is NOW.

It is only August, but there is so many things to do, to see, to accomplish, you have to start early.

Happy Spooky Season!

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
