10 Reasons I'm Completely Obsessed with Fall

Eyeliner on a Cat Blog

September 22, my favorite day of the year, marks the beginning of a new season. Although the weather doesn't instantly drop into the realm of acceptable fall weather, there is a certain mentality that comes with the beginning of fall. People begin to break out their sweaters and flannel button downs. Saturdays are spent watching college football and stores like Target have begun to put out Halloween costumes and excessive amounts of candy. The sights, smells, and sounds of fall are simply perfect.

1. Flannels

Flannel Friday becomes bearable when the Fall months bring along the cooler weather. Not to mention the fact that a flannel button down makes for an instantly cute outfit when paired with legging and boots.

2. Pecan Pie

This delicious dessert deserved a spot ALL of its own. I'm probably as obsessed with pecan pie as I am with fall. Making the perfect pecan pie is an art form all of its own. Lucky for me I've got a great uncle who has mastered this art.

3. Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a holiday all about food and family (my two favorite things). For me that means a lunch at my great granny's house. Turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, chicken and dumplings, pumpkin pie, pecan pie.. the list of delicious food goes on and on.

4. Apple Cider

As someone who has never enjoyed coffee I live for the days when I can carry around a warm cup filled to the brim with Apple Cider.

5. Halloween

A holiday devoted to free candy and playing dress up? Ummm... YES!!

6. Sweater Weather

Over sized sweater and super cozy scarves are a wardrobe essential for any girl who enjoys the cooler weather. Besides, I'll use any excuse to steal my dad's Atlanta Braves sweatshirt just one more time!

7. My Birthday!

A whole day all about me & it happens during my favorite season? It's almost too good to be true!

8. S'mores

Graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows? I'm not sure what could be better. Besides, in order to make S'mores you've probably got a fire going outside and who doesn't love a toasty fire in the fall.

9. College Football

There's nothing quite like a college campus on game day. During the fall months, those of us at Mercer bleed orange and black.

10. Candy Corn

Nothing smells or tastes quite like this sugary treat.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

While being home for break this week and picking up hours at work, I remember what it is like to in fast food. Although there are many aspects to the job, the customers are always number one priority. Anyone who works in fast food knows that you come across these types of customers AT LEAST once a day:
