October, It's One Of The Best Months Of The Year

Ohhh, October. the temperature starts to change, the season of holidays begins, people start to decorate their homes. Nothing is better than watching scary movies, getting to pull out the sweaters and boots that have been sitting in your closet since last year. Ohhh, and pumpkin everything, am I right?

It's the start of the holiday season!!!

With October it takes us into the most festive time of the year, November equals Thanksgiving, December equals Christmas. A time full of family and friends and good food. And all the boxes of decorations we get to bring down from the attic. All the amazing flavored foods and seasonal candies.

Bath and Body Works, that's all I'm gonna say.

I mean there are the Halloween, Fall and Christmas lines that are amazing. I mean if your gonna say that you don't go out and spend a decent amount of money here at this time of the year your lying to yourself. Now not everyone loves this store but the scented candles they have are so wonderful. They fill your home with just warm and inviting scents.

All of the movies.

ABC Family's 31 Nights of Halloween, and their 25 Days of Christmas. (I refuse to call them freeform.) Not to mention there is the Hallmark channel, and they are bringing up a whole new line up for this Christmas. There are so many good movies for this time of year, like "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "Elf," "Hocus Pocus," "Home Alone," and the list goes on forever. Grab a cozy blanket, some snacks and you got yourself the best night ever.

Pumpkins, Cookies, Boots, Scarves, Candy canes, Gingerbread Houses, Trick or Treating.

Making cookies, carving pumpkins, getting to wear boots and scarves. Well getting to wear boots and scarves in Florida isn't till like December, but October lets us know that it won't be hot all day every day for much longer. Carving pumpkins, while messy is so much fun because trying to get a really good design can be kind of tricky. Making a gingerbread house is a mission in it of itself because trying to get the walls to stay up and the roof not to slide off is such a struggle, but the end results and the memories are worth all the struggling. Trick or treating no matter how old you are is fun because free candy is the best candy, and getting to dress up is part of the fun too.

October, you are a great month and thank you for being you!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
