10 Reasons To Get Excited About Fall

Autumn, it’s definitely a favorite for a lot of people. Sure, we’re all sad to see summer go and allergies can be a bummer, but there’s plenty to look forward to in fall season.

10 Reasons To Get Excited About Fall

1. Pumpkin-Flavored Everything

Around September is when we can expect the first wave of such a delicacy. From cakes, candies, ice creams, and lattes, pumpkin is always a dominant flavor for the autumn months.

2. Hoodies and Sweaters

These are pieces of your wardrobe that you know you’ve been looking forward to. Who doesn’t enjoy the coziness that hoodies and sweaters offer when the temperature starts getting a little chilly?

3. Wearing Warm Clothes

Everything from scarves to the classic peacoat: if it’s warm then it’s time to break it out.

4. Pumpkin Carving

Let your creativity thrive as you carve the flesh of a ripe orange pumpkin. It can be a fun activity with children, friends, and even a special someone. Even if you’re just carving one by yourself, your friends, family, and neighbors will all enjoy seeing your skillfully crafted pumpkin glowing on the porch.

5. Halloween

This one is pretty self explanatory, if you ask me.

6. The Color of the Leaves

Who doesn’t love to go outside and look at how beautiful the leaves turned out? There are no other shades of red, orange, and yellow that really capture or could compare to the colors of the fall leaves.

7. Stepping on Leaves

Don’t lie; you love the way the crunch of a leaf sounds when you walk on them. Then there’s the swoosh they make when you wade through a pile of leaves. Priceless.

8. Bonfires

It’s a place for not just warming up when the night gets chilly, but a sort of social gathering. There you can share stories, catch up with people, roast marshmallows, and just have a good time with everyone.

9. "American Horror Story"

Seriously, who doesn't like this show? Yeah, it may have had a bad season or two, but lets be honest: this show is fantastic.

10. The Change in the Weather

There’s nothing like a rainy autumn day to just snuggle up under the blankets and watch Netflix or read a book, drinking a pumpkin spice latte. Or the sunny days where the sun shines through the colored leaves and the light looks golden. The air gets brisk and chilly and it’s so hard not to love it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
