Why I Won't Miss Summer

Summer is finally winding down. Vacations are over, tan lines are fading, and “back to school” ads are in full swing. It can be a sad transition from summer into fall until you realize all the great things fall has to offer.

1. Cold weather

I don’t know about you but I’m tired of sweating.

2. No shaving

Even though I’m not one to give up shaving my legs all together, fall definitely gives you the excuse to let your hair grow a little bit longer than you usually would. Who has time to shave their legs everyday anyway?

3. Leggings

Although they can arguably be worn all year, there’s no denying that the best time to wear leggings as pants is in the fall. It’s not too hot outside and it’s not too cold.

4. Halloween

It’s the one day of the year you won’t be judged for eating all the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups you want.

5. Pumpkin picking

Nothing gives me more joy in life than going to a farm and picking out a pumpkin to carve.

6. Haunted houses

There’s nothing more fun than walking through a haunted house with all of your friends.

7. Scary movies

Even though I hate being scared, I somehow manage to put that aside for a month and enjoy a ton of scary movies. They really help me get into the Halloween spirit.

8. Baggy sweaters

In the fall I basically live in a baggy sweater and leggings. It’s the most comfortable outfit in the entire world.

9. Fall drinks

I am counting down the days until I can go to "Dunkin’ Donuts" and order a pumpkin iced coffee.

10. Apple cider donuts

I’m probably going to start a petition to make them available all year round.

11. Scarves

I have a minor scarf addiction. I probably have at least two in every pattern and color you can think of. When it comes to making a complete outfit, scarves are the perfect accessory. They keep you warm and look cute.

12. UGG boots

I don’t care if they’re ugly they’re super comfortable.

13. Combat boots

They’re just as comfortable as UGG boots but make you look a little more stylish.

14. TV shows

All of my favorite TV shows have taken a break for the summer and I’m experiencing definite withdrawal.

15. Thanksgiving

It’s an entire holiday dedicated to giving thanks and eating. How could it get any better?

16. Pumpkin pie

The best dessert.

17. Fall scents

I already went to “Bath and Body Works” and purchased a cinnamon pumpkin candle. I haven’t lit it yet but I’m ready for my room to smell like a magical fall wonderland.

18. Fuzzy socks

They’re basically blankets for your feet.

19. Flannel shirts

They’re comfortable and cozy.

20. Concert tours

I go to concerts all year but fall is definitely the best time. All of the bands that have been taking breaks to record new music are ready to get back on the road.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
