Nothing Like The Fall In Maryland

Nothing Like The Fall In Maryland

Some say fall is their favorite time of the year. With the leaves slowly changing colors, and the weather slowly transitioning to sweatshirt or sweater weather. The time of the year where you can put the shorts away for good, and finally break out the jeans and sweaters.

It's the perfect time of the year, Where you don't have to worry about being too hot or too cold. It's the weather you can wear a sweatshirt and jeans, and be just fine.
While Fall is my favorite season, in the great state of Maryland, it seems as if the entire season of fall occurred over the course of 2 weeks.

It seems like only last week it was 90 degrees and boiling hot. I couldn't walk to class without not sweating. I wast trying to figure out if the air conditioning would be too cold in the buildings, and that was my biggest challenge. At least, weather wise, it was.

Now I wake up in the morning and I check my weather app and it says 40 degrees, and part of my mind is telling me to wear a coat, rather than just a sweatshirt. Where did our transition go? I feel like this weather change my have happened overnight.

Now, I may be from bitter cold New England, but going from 90 degrees one day to 45 in the morning two days later is quite a drastic change. Even a New Englander wouldn't be used to this weather change.

It may be the beginning of a stereotypical fall here. With the leaves are starting to change over this week, and I will enjoy every moment of it. From putting my hammock up in the middle of the quad and doing homework, to just enjoying my walks to and from class, I will love every moment. In the meantime, I'll be praying for the winter to fault and have it take it's sweet time getting here.

But knowing that in two weeks we will be heading into another drastic change in temperature is really killer.

But for now, I will watch the leaves change, and pray for some nice cool normal fall weather. And leave the jacket behind, at least for the next two weeks I will.

Happy Fall Maryland, Please stop raining.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
