Move Over Summer, Fall Fever Has Arrived

Summer, I’ve got news for you: it’s time for a change. You’ve been working so long and hard these past three months, you’re due for a break. I think I speak for most of the general population when I say we’re ready for something new. The suffocating heat, the blazing sun, the broken AC vents were staples of the season you brought to us, but fall is knocking at your back door. Your departure will be sad, but trust me when I say autumn is one of the best times of the year. Don’t believe me? I get it, it can be hard to accept your replacement, but we’ll be in good hands when fall comes around. You can’t ignore all the amazing things fall has to offer:

1. Take the fact that there are plenty of new fall scents to sniff. From pumpkin spice to cinnamon sugar, the smells are yummy enough to send hunger pains through your stomach.


2. Or that it’s the perfect time for bonfires galore, which mean more s’mores, which basically equals heaven.


3. Not to mention apple picking is the bomb diggity, and those buggers are finally ready to be picked in the cool fall weather.


4. And you can’t forget Halloween with free candy, outrageous decorations, and the best classic Halloween movies. Need I go on?


5. The go-to fall closet makes a comeback: boots, jeans, comfy sweaters, blanket scarves. It’s the most wonderful time of the year (besides Christmas, of course).


6. The most beautiful scenery takes over and you don’t even have to leave. It’s all around you—crisp yellow, red, and orange leaves changing colors is hands down the best part of the season.


7. Drinking hot coffee finally makes sense again. No more hot flashes while trying to choke down the first few steaming sips. Now you can actually enjoy your caffeine addiction!


8. Haunted houses anyone??


9. Time for pumpkin picking and hayrides that go hand in hand.


10. The Thanksgiving countdown begins.


11. It’s the perfect time for snuggling up in fuzzy socks, cozy warm blankets, and curling up fireside.


12. Oh, and the best food/drink combo on earth comes back in action: apple cider and warm pumpkin doughnuts. YUM.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
