Every year the time comes when pumpkins are sold and people begin to dress up as their favorite characters. The temperature begins to drop as the leaves begin to fall and create a beautiful array of warm, vibrant colors. This excitement creates a sort of energy that draws people to nature and closer together for the holiday festivities. What are a few of your favorite things about fall?

1. Pumpkin Everything

From Pumpkin Spice Lattes to Pumpkin Spice OREOS, there is no doubt that one of the best things about fall is the amazing food and drink choices that are pumpkin flavored. Now, I don’t know about you, but I am in love with these pumpkin spice Oreos. They're amazing!

2. Cute Clothes


Riding boots, oversized sweaters, flannels, and leggings are some of my favorite things when it comes to fall. Putting together cute outfits is very easy during fall because you can just roll out of bed, throw on a sweater or flannel with some leggings, and add a pair of boots. It will look like you took some time to get dressed in the morning. Plus, you can throw your hair up into a messy bun or ponytail and still look put together.

3. The Amazing Weather

Down in south Texas, it doesn’t get extremely cold, but the weather is still amazing and refreshing.

4. Football Season

From flag football to pro football, a fall favorite is definitely the start of football season. Fans across the country paint their faces and wear their jerseys proudly in support of their favorite team- some even color their hair.

5. Halloween

Everybody knows that the best part about Halloween is the overwhelming amount of candy you collect and dressing up! Halloween can be scary and at the same time, it is filled with goblins, ghosts, candy apples, and candy corn.

6. Thanksgiving Day

Every Thanksgiving I curl up on the couch and watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade while my pumpkin French toast bakes in the oven and fills the house with the delicious smell of pumpkin spice. The feast during Thanksgiving is like an unlimited buffet full of turkey, cornbread dressing, and amazing sweets.

7. Daylight Savings Time

Who doesn’t like an extra hour of sleep? I know I do! During the first week of November, everyone across the world receives an extra hour of sleep, this year daylight savings time is on November first.

8. Christmas is Just Around the Corner

The true meaning of Christmas usually gets lost during the hustle and bustle of shopping and decorating, but Christmas is still my favorite reason for fall because it is almost here. I love going to Christmas eve church services and caroling along with the church choir. In fact, it is some of my favorite music!

9. Nutcracker Market

A favorite event for Houstonians is the annual Nutcracker Market that pays a special visit to Houston, Texas. Typically, the market lasts about four days and is packed with Christmas-themed décor and items sold by a variety of vendors.

10. The Semester is Almost Over!

Even though fall is the beginning of the semester, we're a lot closer to winter break!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
