Just Some Fall Things

Fall is a season of change, but it's also got some really awesome constants!

Just Some Fall Things
Alison Hebert

Here's a small list of some of my favorite things about fall!

1. The Colors!

I'm from New Hampshire and I have to say, we have the best fall foliage around! Especially this year, there were so many vibrant colors, like oranges and yellows and reds.

2. Sweater Season!

I don't know about you, but my closet is stocked full of sweaters and sweatshirts and long sleeve shirts. So when I get to be cozy all the time and wear my sweaters I get very happy :)

3. Hot Drinks!

Ask my friends and they'll tell you I get warm drinks all the time even when it's still warm out. But when the cold weather begins, I hit up Dunks a lot more for their hot chocolate (and trust me when I say Oreo hot chocolate is 100% my new favorite thing).

4. Blankets!

Along the same lines as why I love sweaters so much, blankets let me feel cozy and comfy which is really great. And when it's so cold outside, it's all the more of a reason to stay inside and cuddle up with a hot drink and a movie.

5. Apples!

Fall is also known as the season of apple picking and all things apple. There's fresh, crisp apples to pick from trees, and apple cider for sale in grocery stores. And one of my favorite things of all time often gets paired with apples: cinnamon. So there's apple fritters and the smell of my mom's delicious apple pie baking in the oven.

Fall is really a great season of family and friends and snuggling and cozy warmth! It's also a very symbolic season of change, and fittingly, it's the season when the most things are dynamic for me. It's a season for me to embrace the changes, and when I can't, I've got friends and warm blankets and hot tea and Netflix to get me through!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
