21 Ways To Do Autumn In Atlanta

Ah, that time of year in Atlanta when you wake up shivering, and by afternoon- sweating. Autumn. The season of cinnamon broomsticks, everyone's carnival photos congesting your Instagram feed, and yes, the PSL. (If you can't beat em', join em'. Pumpkin and coffee are great together, okay?) Canceled classes, fall breaks, and fair weather mean adventures among the changing leaves. So loop that flannel around your waist and get ready to check off your Atlanta Autumn Bucket List- squad in tow, of course.

1. Stone Mountain Pumpkin Festival

2. Interactive Sleepy Hollow Yes, the Headless Horseman can get creepier in Serenbe Playhouse's spooky audience-involved classic.

3. Coffee and Sweets at Revolution Doughnuts A sweet carrot cake or orange pistachio complemented with a cup of black coffee is the best food for your fall adventure fuel.

4. Take a walk through Centennial Olympic Park It might be too cold to play in them, but you can still catch the fountain light show (and the park is always so lovely this time of year).

5. Taste of Atlanta 3-Day Food Festival

6. Visit Little Five Points Catch the parade, some live music, or just browse around admiring the many festively themed storefronts while thrifting your Rocky Horror-inspired Halloween costume.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
