Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall are not just the names of the new Gilmore Girls episodes, they are the four season that are each distinctly different. Winter is cold, and snow makes everything look magically white. Spring there are flowers and buds on trees. Summer there’s the beach, warmth and the infamous bikini season. And then there’s Fall.Where the leaves fall, there’s a slight chill in the air, and everything has that distinctively fall smell. There are so many reasons why fall is amazing, here are just a few.

1. Fall Fashion

Sweater weather is officially back! As is boot season, scarf season, and felt hat season!

2. Pumpkin Everything

With this country’s obsession with pumpkin, it’s only fitting that fall ushers in this season. Everything from Pumpkin Spice Lattes to Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin bread, Pumpkin Spice flavored Oreos, and the traditional Jack O’ Lantern, It’s simply the season of pumpkin.

3. The Holidays

This is the season of both Halloweeen and Thanksgiving. Candy and turkey can anyone ask for more?

4. Foliage

I’m from New Hampshire, a place that is known for it’s foliage, this time of year always makes the forests look on fire, and flock many tourists to my home area to leaf peep.

5. 13 Days of Halloween on TV

We all know fall means Halloween, but Halloween means the 13 days of Halloween on Freeform (formally ABC Family) They play the best movies including a personal favorites Hocus Pocus, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and The Addams Family! I also love to check out Disney Channel this time of year have a #FBF moment with Halloweentown and it’s subsequent sequels.

6. Fair Time!

Fall is also the time when county fairs begin to pop up. I remember growing up, I always went to fall festivals and county fairs. It’s a great time to get fried dough, cotton candy, caramel apples, anything fried or anything maple!

So whether or not Fall is your favorite season, take advantage of these wonderful activites fall gives us. Before you know it, winter will be upon us.

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.
