School has started which means one thing, Fall is just around the corner! We have been waiting all summer for fall to get here and it is finally almost here. Here are the 10 things we missed about Fall!

1. Sweaters and Hoodies

On a crisp fall morning this is the perfect assessory. It is too hot in the summer for sweatshirts so now we can acctually wear them.

2. Pumpkin Spice

We all say that this is the "basic white girl" season because of Pumpkin Spice everything! The beginning of fall brings back Pumpkin Spice Lattes back to every coffee joint in America and we are all excited.

3. Apple Orchards

Going to the Apple Orchard is one of the best things about fall. Other than picking apples, You can enjoy fresh made doughnuts, Apple Cider, Caramel Apples and a bunch of other delicious treats.

4. Leaves

No matter if you like looking at the colors in the trees or the crunch of the leaves that have fallen, fall is the bset season for leaves!

5. Warm beverages

For the summer, you probably traded your hot drinks for iced coffee and teas. Now that it is fall, you can enjoy warm coffee, teas and hot chocolate and they will help keep you warm.

6. School

For some of us, summer was too long and we are ready to get back to school! We are glad that fall is here now and we can move back to campus and start classes again.

7. Football

Whether you enjoy football or not everyone enjoys football season. Everyone either tailgates, goes for the marching band or to acctually watch the game! There is something for everyone during football season.

8. Halloween

A holiday to get free candy? I'm in! We celebrated halloween more as little kids, but as adults we still enjoy dressing up and going out with our friends.

9. The return of our favorite shows

Most of our favorite TV shows go on a hiatus for the summer so we are all excited for te new fall premiers!

10. Rains

For some reason, fall rain is so much more enjoyable than when it rains in the spring and summer. The way the air smells and how relaxing it is, It's a different feeling in the fall.

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.
