I wish fall lasted year round and not just for a couple of months.

Reasons Why Fall Is The Best Time Of Year.

For myself and many others fall is our favorite season. You know you're in love with fall when during the summer you decide what you want to be for Halloween, you attempt to wear your fall clothing in the sweltering summer heat, or in August when they start selling fall stuff again you spend all your money on fall decorations.

It's still August and I bought my cat two Halloween costumes, and have already decorated my door for Halloween. If that doesn't sound fall crazy I don't know what does.

Reasons why fall is the best season ever:

1. Halloween.

Lets be real, the whole month of October is what makes fall. I love decorating for it, dressing up in costume for Halloween, going to Halloween parties, watching scary movies, pumpkin carving, and all the haunted attractions. And lets not forget the buckets and buckets of candy. I just love the spookiness of it all.

3. Leaves changing colors.

It is absolutely breathtaking to just look at the trees while you drive. I live is beautiful West Virginia and it is well worth the visit to come look at the trees. We have many places to go hiking, so if you're not from around here I recommend coming for a weekend just to experience a little taste of fall here. The picture below is Glade Creek Mill at Babcock State Park in West Virginia.

4. Pumpkin everything.

I love spiced pumpkin drinks, pumpkin pies, pumpkin scented candles and body lotions. I even love carving pumpkins and baking the pumpkin seeds.

5. Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite fall holidays because it's the one day a year that it's acceptable to bing eat. As soon as November hits people start decorating for Christmas which is technically in winter, and people kind of overlook Thanksgiving as being in the fall because they're too busy thinking about Christmas but I think every food lover can appreciate this fall holiday.

These are just a few of my reasons why fall is the best season EVER. I'm literally counting down the days till fall because I'm so excited.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
