Top 10 Reasons Why I Love Fall
Mark Bergkvist

Fall has been my favorite season for as long as I can remember. There's something about fall that makes it different than all the other seasons. Fall is different because fall constantly represents change. The weather is changing, the colors of leaves are changing, your classes are changing, the people you surround yourself with are changing, but most importantly, your intake of pumpkin spice lattes are changing! Just kidding about that last one... or maybe not. But fall is all about change, and it's pretty cool to know that a season serves far more than just what it's title states.

Here are my top 10 reasons as to why I absolutely love fall and you should too!


1. Fall weather is unbelievably calming

Think about it: walking around while taking in that brisk and fresh air is actually such an incredibly feeling. Summer is way too hot, spring is always up and down, and winters can get a bit too chilly. But... fall? Fall is the great balance of all of the above. Fall is perfect.

2. Reuniting with friends

Yeah, we all complain about having to go back to school, but lets be real here... admit it, you know you’re ready to go and catch up with all the friends you said you’d make plans with over the summer -- which you didn't… so yeah, it’s probably best to catch up now having those three months apart!

3. Fall means FLANNELS!

Flannels, flannels, FLANNELS! You can never go wrong with flannels in the fall -- it's a staple in the meaning of fall!

4. Fall attire is the best

I absolutely love dressing for fall because the options are endless! Fall clothing is the best clothing because you can easily dress up with a flannel, vest, and boots, or you can wear sweaters, hoodies, and sweatpants/leggings everyday with it being totally acceptable. It really doesn't take much to dress for fall.

5. Fall is picture perfect

The scenery is beautiful! When you go outside, take a look at your surroundings. The leaves are becoming crisp and orange as well as the sky which show all different tones of red and orange. You can be anywhere and the background makes it picture perfect. You can literally take a picture of a leaf and post it on Instagram and it'll look 100x better than it would if it was any other season!

6. All things PUMPKIN!

Fall means PUMPKIN EVERYTHING! Pumpkin carving.. pumpkin picking.. pumpkin...

7. Pumpkin Spice Latte

Who doesn't enjoy a warm cup of pumpkin spice latte on the go or even just at the coffee shop while reading a book? It's one of my favorite parts of the season! Seasonal drinks all the wayyyy!

8. Pumpkin Carving

Okay so maybe not everyone's pumpkin comes out like that.. ESPECIALLY mine, but it's still fun to attempt!

9. Pumpkin Pie

A warm piece of pumpkin pie topped with some icecream to go with that latte?! Yes please!!

10. Holidays!!

Just thinking about Thanksgiving dinner got me like...

And thinking about how fun Halloween is going to be got me like...


If these aren't enough reasons to love fall then I don't know what is! Fall is beautiful, calming, and all around nothing but positive vibes. As I mentioned earlier, fall is a season of change and it's amazing how one season could represent so much more than just it's title. And change is inevitable but it's up to you to make it a positive one rather than negative. Here's to new scenery, a new school year, and new beginnings!

Happy Fall! :)

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.

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.
