What To Do In Fall

This autumn season is my favorite time of year. Having lived here in the Pacific Northwest my whole life it’s that time where we start to see the rain fall, cardigan sweaters, and sandals with socks (it’s a Washington thing). Apart from all those amazing things there are a lot of activities to do with family, friends, or your significant other.

The first things that is a staple for anyone during the fall is going to pick out a pumpkin. Not only do you get some amazing instagram photos but you also get to have some fun picking out the perfect pumpkin. Very similar to picking out a pumpkin you can also go apple picking. Here in Washington there is an abundance of places to go and pick some apples and honestly can be quite fun.

With autumn comes spooky season. This opens the door for other activities like corn mazes, haunted houses, and theme parks. Getting your scare on in a haunted maze with some friends is honestly some of the funniest experiences I’ve had as long as you are not the one being scared. My personal favorite to do are the corn mazes. They are the most thrilling when it comes to not knowing when something will come at you and scare the living light and out of you.

The last thing that I would say is pretty exciting is decorating for fall. Even when I’m on a budget I love to hit the dollar store and make my home feel like fall. I love changing the layout of my living space even if the change is minimal every season. Adding those small touches can be refreshing to see. Hopefully some of these ideas can help spice up this fall.

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?

sisters

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.
