With Fall around the corner, we all know what that means. Social media has definitely seen activity with the many, many posts and memes shared on an hourly basis, especially about pumpkin spice everything. Others might focus on the countdown to Halloween.

Regardless if you cannot wait or you are dreading it, there is plenty of things to look forward to. You might already have some as traditions or you might want to try something new this year. Here are twelve things that we can look forward to this year.

1. Cooler Weather

It is not too hot and not too cold, but rather a mediator between the two. Wardrobes open up to warmer colors and sweaters. Opportunities open up to the perfect photo op.

2. Raking Leaves

For some raking leaves might feel like a chore, but adding a bit of fun to it can make all the difference. Piling it together to jump into them is a classic thing to do, but have you ever tried making leaf dummies? All you need is some old clothes, markers, raked leaves, and a plastic bag.

3. Drinking Hot Chocolate

With the cooler weather comes hotter drinks. Apple cider and hot chocolate will always make the list.

4. Going To Apple Orchards

With the focus on pumpkin spice, apples tend to be forgotten. Apple pie, apple cider, apple cinnamon, and of course, candy apples.

5. Finding The Biggest Pumpkin

It is all about how much of the insides you can dig out before you began the process of carving.

6. Hay Rides

These rides are fun, despite the beginning of one's allergies acting up.

7. Baking

With Fall comes festive treats. Rice Krispies and cookies to family specialties.

8. Movie Marathon

Movies! You can never go wrong with a movie marathon. The cooler weather makes it comfortable to just stay in the house and relax while watching a wide range of movies to pick from, especially in October. Regardless if you want to spend the day with Michael or three sister witches, it is a day well spent.

9. Bonfires

Bonfires has several meanings: warmth, evening, fun, and s'mores.

10. Football

Physically playing or just watching, football season is session. It all brings out team pride and competitiveness.

11. Games

Boredness will not be an easy task. There is quite a bit that can be done, both inside and outside. Tailgating and playing corn hole. Embracing personal creativity through arts and crafts. Then you can always pass the time with board games and puzzles.

12. Two Major Holidays

Fall hosts two major holidays: Halloween and Thanksgiving. Each with its own festivities. From decorations and food to traditions. Shopping and styling comes with tasks of being in the holiday spirit.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
