Fall is the time where the leaves change color, the air gets cooler, and EVERYTHING becomes pumpkin flavored.

Whenever the season changes from summer to fall it's almost necessary to redecorate the interior of your house and get all new candles. There even comes the point where you change out the summer shorts and tanks for the sweaters and boots.

To be ready for the fall this year, here's a list of everything you're going to need to be cozy and feel at peace with yourself.

1. Fall-Scented Candles

The apple pie, the hazelnut cream, the delicious flavors of fall. Lighting one of these savory candles will have your house feeling so cozy and warm and smelling amazing.

2. Over-sized Sweater

See on Instagram

A new season is a perfect excuse for shopping. Over-sized sweaters are literally perfect for being comfy or cute or both at the same time.

3. Halloween Candy

You don't have to go trick or treating to get the goods. Honestly one of the upsides of being an adult, I can buy a whole bag of assorted Halloween candy and NOT give it out to any kids. All mine, bye.

4. Hot Caffeinated Beverages

Iced coffee, take a seat. It's time for all the hot drinks to warm my hands as I walk briskly to class. Also a good excuse to buy a new coffee tumbler in the name of treating yourself.

5. Over-the-Knee Boots

To complete your over-sized sweater look, throw on some of these long boots to keep your legs warm and be killing it with your outfit.

6. Soup

Whether it be classic chicken noodle, or something new and interesting you tried on Pinterest the season of Autumn is the season for soup. It's warm, usually low calorie(bonus), and it just makes your soul feel good.

7. Slow-Cooker

Since we're talking about food, it's about time you just go ahead and leave that crock pot out on the counter and get the most use out of it.

Slow-cooker meals are perfect for the days spent lounging inside and watching movies to avoid the weather. Is there anything better than a dump-and-bake recipe that you barely need to lift a finger for??

8. Fleece Blanket

Seriously though, for like $10 at Wal-Mart you can get a new fleece blanket to survive the coming cold days. There is really no better feeling than wrapping up in a ~new~ fleece blanket.

9. Fall Wreath

How else are your neighbors going to know that you are in full-swing Autumn mode? Hang one of these pretty boys up on the door and spread the beauty of fall colors to every passerby.

10. Beanie

It's the perfect accessory to keep heat from escaping your body and hide the fact that maybe you haven't showered today. No judgement here. A cute beanie is just what you'll need for the final tailgates of the season and surviving windy walks to class.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
