My Love/Hate Relationship With Fall

In Texas there's no such thing of four seasons.

My Love/Hate Relationship With Fall
Sam White

It's about that time again: Fall is near. I can tell because the leaves are getting ready to change, it's starting to get cooler in the mornings, and my allergies are coming in (literally had a sneezing attack twice now.) I'm super excited for fall this year because fall in Oklahoma is way different from fall in Texas. In Oklahoma, there are all four seasons, but in Texas four seasons is a hotel, not anything to do with nature. So this year fall will be totally different for me. I'm a summer baby, so I've always had a love/hate relationship with fall.

1. Love: I GET TO WEAR LONG SLEEVES

I love love LOVE wearing long sleeves. My closet is full of them right now. I really really want to wear them in the morning, but then by the time I get out of my second class it's a thousand degrees. Also, I have some really cute outfits for the fall games that I need to wear. Mother Nature, please bring cooler weather because my outfits depend on it.

2. Hate: My allergies.

I hate my allergies. HATE. Every time the weather is about to change I can tell because my nose starts getting stuffed up and I start sneezing every second of the day. I hate it. I feel like my face is puffy. A puffy face is not cute AT ALL.

3. Love: Fall colors!

I'm in love with the colors of fall! Reds, greens, orange (Go Pokes), yellow, and brown make the color combinations in the fall. I have so much orange already that it's going to be awesome when fall actually gets here. Hello riding boots, goodbye sandals.

4. Hate: Everything starts getting spooky.

Everyone loves Halloween, Jack-O-Lanterns, haunted houses, horror movies: Not me. I hate scary things. I wish I could just have Thanksgiving and Christmas that's it. No Halloween. Except I'm trying to think of a cute costume for this year (let me know what y'all think I should be). But no scary things!

5. Love: The cute dates that everyone goes on.

Every year pictures of people going on dates in the fall make me so happy (even though I'm single lol) I love seeing people happy! From walking around the lake to carving pumpkins, the dates are too cute. Keep posting those pics y'all!

Ugh every year pictures of people going on dates in the fall makes me so happy (even though I'm single lol) I love seeing people happy! From walking around the lake to carving pumpkins, the dates are too cute. Keep posting those pics y'all!

6. Hate: Everything is PUMPKIN

Now, I love the smell of Bath and Body Works pumpkin scents, but what I can not stand is when everyone is posting their pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks or the pumpkin pie slices. I can't. I am not a fan of pumpkin. Stop putting pumpkin in/on everything.

Overall fall is amazing and it's a beautiful season. There are just some things that come with fall that I could totally do without. I'm ready to get my leggings out, though!

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.
