10 Reasons to Say Goodbye to Summer

As the hot weather comes to an end, you may find yourself drowning in summer withdrawal. So pull out your cutest sweaters and jeans, grab your best autumn vests, and get yourself out of this funk because fall is right around the corner. As you sadly pack away your bathing suits and sunscreen, look forward to these 10 fall favorites:

1. The weather

No more sweating on the walk to class! Yes, we will all miss the beautiful beach breeze, but the crisp air of autumn is truly refreshing and unlike anything else.

2. The leaves changing

Walking around campus surrounded by the beautiful color of fall leaves creates an ambiance of tranquility. From bright orange to deep red, the changing colors of the leaves just adds to the overall beauty of autumn.

3. Apple picking

Is fall even a season without apple picking? This tradition is one you can’t miss. Gathering up a group of friends and family and heading to a local orchard is an activity that creates everlasting memories. Plus, the perfect location for a photo shoot is in the middle of a pumpkin patch.

4. The food

Even the smell of Carmel apples gets me in the perfect mood for fall. Baking delicious homemade apple pie will make your house smell like heaven, and eating it will send you there. Everything Pumpkin flavored from Iced Coffees to bread will knock you off your feet. And don’t worry, there’s plenty to go around.

5. Pumpkin carving

Growing up, pumpkin carving was a tradition my family never missed. Whether it’s a silly face or something you’d see in your nightmares, the art of carving a pumpkin is the perfect family bonding experience.

6. Football season

As soon as fall takes off, so does football season. Whether you’re a Giants or Eagles fan, football season is definitely something to look forward to. So go get your season tickets now! You don’t want to miss out on this exciting time.

7. Boot & sweater weather

Fall fashion is definitely something to look forward to. Grab all your fashionable vests, comfy sweaters, and cute boots because autumn is on its way!

8. Baking time

The perfect time to bake some pumpkin pie and other fall treats with your friends and family is autumn. Get out the recipes and go crazy, leftovers are what fall is all about.

9. Halloween

Halloween is a holiday unlike any other. From football players to police officers, costumes make it one of the best days of the year. And the best part? Candy.

10. Cozy nights by the fireplace

Spending time cuddling, watching a movie, and snuggling by the fireplace creates nights you’ll always treasure. Fall is a time to relax and enjoy the beauty of autumn, so make sure you take advantage of it as much as you can.

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.
