Tis' The Season For Pumpkin Spice And Everything Nice

https://news.okstate.edu/articles/osu-recognized-best-college-value-2016

The leaves are changing, and the crisp weather will soon be arriving. I am always eager for fall to arrive so I can feel no guilt when buying numerous pumpkin spice scented candles, soaps, body washes, body sprays from Bath and Body Works; but the fall always seems to fly by very quickly. Therefore, can we begin all of the fall festivities now? I have listed a few of my favorite fall past-times, featuring some animations.

1. Pumpkin flavored everything

I am a sucker for anything that smells and/or tastes like pumpkins, marshmallows and/or apple cider. Take full advantage of these scents and tasty treats now, or you will regret it later.

2. Grab your friends and photograph some fall foliage

Fall is probably the most beautiful time to go on nature walks and to take pictures of the scenery around you, enjoy it while it lasts!

3. Have a sleep-over with your best friends

There is nothing better than spending a night in with your best friends; grab some spooky movies, extra buttered popcorn and a box of wine.

4. Find a new favorite tea/coffee drink

Fall is the best time to snuggle up on a couch with a cup of tea, and a pumpkin spice scented candle burning.

5. Get spooked at a haunted house

Haunted houses may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but they are definitely an exciting experience for all, and they create memories you will never forget!

6. Update your house décor.

From pumpkin spice scented candles, to cozy cashmere blankets, you will love your house so much more if it is filled with cozy fall pieces.

7. Create a Fall Spotify playlist

It may sound silly, but having a playlist specifically for the fall is a great thing to keep around; some of my favorites include The Script, Jack Johnson and John Mayer.

8. Go for a bike ride

I am not one to ride a bike, but my friends love riding around campus. I am sure the perfect time for bike riding would be the fall.

9. Invest in copious amounts of cashmere

Cashmere blankets, sweaters, cardigans will definitely be used in my life this fall.

10. Visit a pumpkin patch, for obvious reasons

Who doesn’t love the smell of a corn maze and fresh pumpkins?

11. Tailgate, every weekend

Food, friends and football! Why wouldn’t you want to tailgate?

12. HOCO, for more than one obvious reasons

Football homecoming in a college town is one of the best festivities in the fall time; do not miss out.

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.
