Just Falling For Fall

Just Falling For Fall

This Thursday, September 22 starts the beginning of the best season of the year, Fall. From the beginning of football season in early September to the delicious feast on Thanksgiving, there's so many great ways to enjoy the season.

Fall is the season of Football.

No matter how old you are, football season will never get old. What can I say? It's an American classic. Going to the games, dressing up in your team's colors and losing your voice cheering them on in the stands; football games are a blast. Whether you understand the game or not, there's plenty for you to enjoy during football season. If you're in college, one of the best things about football season are the tailgates. Heading out to your favorite frats or crowding around the stadium decked out in your school colors and t-shirts you spent all night cutting yourself. There's nothing better than getting hyped up with you school before a big game. After tailgates, everyone mobs to the stadium, getting there hours early to get the best seats for the game, not that you'll be sitting much. Once the ball is kicked, you'll be on your feet cheering on the team and jumping around until the clock hits 0:00 and the game is over. Football season brings everyone together and fall wouldn't be the same without it.

Pumpkin Patches and Hayrides.

With the weather starting to cool down, the days begin to pass and soon enough it's October, a month dedicated to going to pumpkin patches and picking out the best pumpkin for your Jack O' Lantern. You can spend all day at a local pumpkin patch going on hayrides, getting lost in the corn maze, and taking a sip of that warm apple cider. Nothing screams fall more than spending a day at the pumpkin patch with family and friends, taking cute pictures in your new fall clothes, and jumping into a pile of leaves on a cool fall day.

One Word: HALLOWEEN!

Who doesn't love Halloween? Free candy, getting to dress up as whoever you want and let's not forget about the Haunted Houses! There's something so fun about getting the shit scared out of you. Walking through the dark hallways with your friends, grabbing a hold of each other trying to protect yourselves, and then walking around the corner only to see a headless body and a man standing near it wearing a mask. Halloween is a time to get scared, eat all your favorite candy ("Give me all your Reese's please!") and spend the night dressed up in your favorite costume. Whether it's an M&M, Batman, or a classic witch, there's so many possibilities for costumes, you can never go wrong. It's a night to put on a mask, go out, and be anyone you want.

Hocus Pocus, Scented Candles and Cozy Sweaters.

Nothing says fall more than lighting your Leaves Bath and Body Works candle, snuggling at home in your large cozy sweater and watching your favorite Halloween Disney movies. There's so many great picks, from Hocus Pocus to Halloween Town (1-3)to Twitches (1& 2), and many more. Enjoying fall doesn't mean you have to go out. With the temperatures dropping and the nights getting cooler, sometimes all you need is a mug of hot chocolate, your biggest cozy sweater, a yummy smelling candle and your favorite fall flick.

'Tis the Season of Eating.

Near the end of fall, as the season comes to a close, there's no better way to end a perfect season than a great Thanksgiving feast. A table loaded up with roasted turkey, mashed potatoes (and of course gravy!), green beans, stuffing, cranberries, and we can't forget the pie! Pumpkin, apple, so many delicious options. Of course spending time with family and friends and being thankful for your blessings is important too. So as the season comes to an end, put on your stretchy pants and dig in!

Crisp air, pretty leaves, sweaters & boots, football, pumpkins and coffee, what's there not to love about Fall?

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.

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.
