October officially marks the beginning of the holiday season. There are so many fun activities to do with friends and family to kick off fall and really get in the spirit. Here are the top 10 absolute best things about October for anyone as obsessed with this time of year as I am.

1. Carving pumpkins

Even though it’s guaranteed to come out lopsided and disproportionate, it's fun and roasting the seeds is delicious, aka food so obviously yes.

2. Candy

Just another excuse to put ourselves into a sugar induced coma which is always welcome.

3. Apple picking

We all go for the Instagram pic, but it’s still a lot of fun.

4. Apple cider donuts

The single best fall treat hands down.

5. Foliage

Most beneficial for use in artsy snapchat stories but also pretty to look at.

6. Sweaters

Fall clothes are the best, no question.

7. Halloween

Now accepting guesses for the most basic costume of 2017.

8. Movies

Halloweentown, Twitches, Hocus Pocus, what more could you ask for?

9. Football Sundays

Another excuse to eat food and sit on the couch all day. Who doesn't like that?!

10. The official beginning of the holiday season

Christmas is basically right around the corner!!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
