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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
