1. No more sweating from simply being in existence.

Giphy

I am tired of sweating buckets from just standing outside. I spent most of this summer working outside and even in the shade I was still sweating. Most of the days have felt so humid it was like walking into a bowl of soup. I can't wait to walk outside in my sweater coffee in hand and be comfortable.

2. Hot beverages

I love coffee and hot chocolate. In the summer I'm already hot so I can't enjoy the warming effects of these drinks. Once fall hits though its hot beverages all day every day to warm my soul.

3. School starts back up

I enjoy school I like the structure and I enjoy what I'm learning. I am more than ready to be back working towards my degree. I'm also stoked to have my friends who only live in Saginaw during the school year back in town.

4. Halloween

Halloween is easily my favorite holiday. I go all out decorating my house and planning a party. I get dressed up and watch movies. Scary movies and Halloween movies are my absolute favorite. To say I am looking forward to Halloween is an understatement.

5. Sweater weather

Sweaters are the best clothing item to own. They're comfy, generally flattering and can be worn in a multitude of ways. Sweaters make up most of my shirts and I'm ready to wear them on the daily again.

6. Fall colors

Rich fall colors are so beautiful. The deep earthy tones are warm and inviting.

7. Apple Cider Donuts

Need I say more? Warmed up and paired with hot apple cider these are the perfect snack to cuddle up with and watch, of course, a Halloween movie.

8. A holiday dedicated to eating... I mean being thankful.

Giphy

Thanksgiving is a time to join with family and share what we are thankful for. Obviously, this holiday also includes a lot of tasty food that we are all very thankful for.

9. Fall scents

Fall scents like baked goods and cinnamon are warm and inviting. The weather is great to bake in too. I love to bake and enjoy the warm delicious smelling kitchen.

10. Leaves begin to change colors

When you look out the window you don't see a lively green background anymore. The trees are starting to fade to red, brown, yellow and orange. The fiery colors begin to fall and set the mood for relaxing cool nights.

Washington College

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a part of any organization undoubtedly comes with the pitfalls of being grouped into negative stereotypes, and sororities are certainly no exception. Here are the top few things, that I find at least, are some of the most irritating misconceptions that find their way into numerous conversations...

8. "The whole philanthropy thing isn't real, right?"

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.
