10 Good Things About Summer Coming To An End

I love summer and I'm sad to see it coming to an end in about a month, but I also love fall. Fall is a beautiful and peaceful season. My birthday is in the fall so that's another reason for me to love the autumnal equinox. It truly is my favorite season.

If it's also your favorite season, here are 10 good things about summer coming to an end:

1. Bye bye, bugs

The best thing about summer coming to an end? The bugs disappear! No more fighting mosquitos and other insects while trying to enjoy the outdoors.

2. HALLOWEEN IS COMING

Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I'm excited that it's getting closer! I love scary movies, dressing up and all of the candy!

3. All the leggings!

One thing I love about the weather cooling down is I get to wear leggings with just about everything: sweater dresses, cardigans, long shirts, knee-high boots. Leggings are one of the most comfortable pieces of clothing and I love wearing them every day.

4. The tourists go home

Another thing I love about summer ending is the tourists go home! From late May through early September, it is impossible to get anywhere on time or get a decent seat at a local restaurant without a swarm of tourists being in the way. After Labor Day, life slows down and it's fantastic.

5. Apple Cider is back!

I love apple cider, especially hot apple cider! Not to mention the apple cider and doughnuts you get when you visit an orchard.

6. The colorful leaves

Fall's beauty is truly breathtaking. There's something calming about standing outside on a crisp fall morning and looking at the colorful leaves on the trees or driving past the trees on the highway.

7. Snuggling weather!

It feels so good to snuggle with your loved one or pet when it's not 95 degrees and humid.

8. PUMPKIN SPICE EVERYTHING

Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin spice cookies, pumpkin spice muffins, pumpkin spice EVERYTHING!

9. You can actually bake again

I love to bake, but it's far too hot to bake in the summer time. Once fall rolls around, I start baking cookies, cakes, pies, etc. After all, it's comfort food season!

10. End of summer clearance sales!

When it's the end of summer, I hit up the clearance sales so I can get what I need for next summer since it will be here again before we know it.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
