Fall is approaching and with it comes change and the start of the holiday season. The leaves begin to turn orange and red, the weather turns colder, and fruit and vegetables are ready to harvest. While it means that school is back in session, and winter is coming, there are some awesome things about this season.

Here are my top 5 reasons I love the fall season:

1. Pumpkin everything!

At last, we have reached the season of pumpkin pie, pumpkin scones, and pumpkin spice lattes! Whether you're baking something at home or buying a treat from your favorite shop- pumpkin flavored goodies are the best way to enjoy the season.

2. Sweater weather

Curl up with some warm coffee in your favorite comfy sweater! It's perfect for a cool fall day and oh so stylish!

3. Return of fall TV shows

All the summer Netflix binging paid off! Now you get to enjoy all the fall premiers of your favorite TV shows! We finally get to know what happens after that season finale of Scream Queens, or jump back in with the cast of New Girl. Cry as we say goodbye to Vampire Diaries. Grab some friends and make a night of it! And be sure to check out some of the new shows premiering this fall like Better Things, written by Louis CK, and of course the Gilmore Girls revival.

4. Halloween

No matter how old I get, I will always enjoy halloween! All the houses are decorated and carved pumpkins glow from the front porches. Corn mazes and haunted houses are open for business. People spend months on creating the perfect costume and finding just the right accessories.

5. Scented candles

Pick out your favorite fall scented candle to enhance your room and add to the comfy and cozy mood of the fall season!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
