10 Reasons I'm Completely Obsessed with Fall

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.

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!)
