Stop judging the PSL enjoyers.

To the Critics of PSL Enjoyers,

For anyone who may not know what PSL stands for it is the coveted, only purchasable for about three months, Pumpkin Spice Latte. It is a treasure for any basic girl (or guy) out there. However, this year the early release of the delicious coffee/latte flavoring has started a fire within some summer loving coffee enjoyers. One man has even gone as far as standing outside a local Wawa to protest “premature” pumpkin spice.

I, a lover of the seasonal flavor, however felt that I needed to respond to Cosmopolitan.com’s August 31st article “People Are Pissed About the PSL This Year".

The basic inner white girl inside me has been personally offended by the backlash against my favorite flavor! How dare anyone attack such a perfect blend of cinnamon and nutmeg flavoring? Have you ever even tasted the amazing liquid gold that is a Pumpkin Spice Latte?! Probably not!

When I think of the fall time I think of football games, those pinkinsh sunsets that fade so quickly to black, apple picking, hay rides, pumpkin carving, haunted house visiting, and sipping on anything pumpkin spice! I as a lover of anything fall does not enjoy my experience being sabotaged by someone who hates PSL. Just because our opinions may vary does not mean I should feel judged when I approach the Starbucks counter and order myself an iced PSL.

Why should stores stop “premature” pumpkin spice? Just because some may not enjoy the flavoring does not mean that thousands of others don't love it. So to the people attacking mine (and many others) PSL I have two things to say to you. Number one, if you have a problem with “premature” PSL just DON’T buy it! Secondly, I will enjoy the few months I have to wear my oversized flannels, watch my school's football team destroy others, and sip my PSL!

Sincerely,

This PSL lover

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate.
