The Pros and Cons of Fall Time

Thunderstorm, thunderstorm, and the air is now cold when it was just warm. Golden flavor upon the atmosphere with apple trees to be swarmed! Oh, how fall is upon us as Friday night lights make the world bright.

Kicks through field goals just to make field goals as I try to make warm my brown nose, yet the wind still blows as if the sky was progressing to drop cold snow but I forgot my gloves back home and have no will to return to that barren place. It's true I'd rather stay here in Chicago where the wind hurts my face, contradictory you say?

To be warm is my greatest treasure surrounded by the candlelight, to be held is my greatest pleasure but the cold makes me eager to fight because a sky so grey makes it harder to pray. Dark nights make it easy to keep others at bay, but how could a season so beautiful make me feel this way?

Like the leaves I am disconnected from the trees I call base. Falling through time living only in my mind, my head, gracefully coming to a standstill, a place to rest called my bed. A place where I can relax and be protected from the wind, a place where others aren't welcome, it is only my time to spend. Like money, all the green is gone.

Like honey, Autumn brings about a new song, and that is one of peace and release. I feel like Thanksgiving itself, alone sitting so comfortable in my fleece, with the aches and pains that the season brings about in my knees, but enough complaining because fall time is here to stay, only thing you can do is stay warm while praying for that day.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
