10 Reasons Why October Is The Best Month In Augusta, GA

October is easily the best month out of the year for many, many, many, many reasons but here are my ten favorites.

1. The Weather

In the South, October is the time when everything starts to cool down. Instead of having to worry about if we're going to melt throughout the day we can worry about if carrying a light sweater is necessary.

2. The Clothes

Even though it still can get up into the eighties during the day, everyone starts breaking out their favorite fall trends even if they aren't the most practical.

3. The Music

I'm a big fan of calmer and folkier music year-round, but there's no denying artists like Hozier, The Lumineres, and Keaton Henson sound better when fall is just around the corner.

4. The Books

Reading is something I try to incorperate into my everyday life and it makes it so much easier to do when there's a chill in the air and I can curl up with a great piece of literature.

5. The Bonfires

October is the time when having bonfires is a good idea again! If you were to do it any sooner in the year, you'd just be quietly melting from the southern heat that's not being helped by the raging fire next to you.

6. The Bugs

Finally the little critters seem to start fading from your life so you don't have to worry about covering yourself with Skin So Soft before walking out of the door.

7. Football

Admittedly I'm not the biggest fan of football, but watching games gives friends and family a chance to come together and bond over something they mutually love.

8. Powder Puff

My school's Powder Puff game is the only football game that I have ever genuinely cared about. Being a senior in high school I can't believe that this will be my last time watching it, but I know we're going to be the reigning cheerleading champs!

9. Halloween

This comes as no surprise since Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. I love seeing how much effort put into their costumes and watching everyone take a step back from reality and letting loose for one night.

10. The Nature

Where I live we don't have the most distinct seasons, so October has a very special place in my heart. There's a very small span of time where my town looks autumnal and it usually happens in late October, right before all of the beautiful leaves are swiped from the trees.

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.
