11 Reasons Fall Needs To Be Here Already

I cannot speak for everyone, but I'm sure that a lot of people would agree that the best season of the year will be starting on September 22nd, 2016. Fall will creep in colors of burning yellow, orange, red and brown leaves. Crisp air will blow again on your face and you'll watch the beautiful green earth turn into its beautiful fall colors. Here's 11 reasons why fall is the best season.

1. Changing Colors

Just like I mentioned, the green leaves fade into beautiful yellow, gold, orange, red, and brown hues on all of the surrounding trees. What is better than looking at the mountains and seeing the beautiful array of colors that fall brings?

2. Football Season

Whether you're watching high school football on Friday nights, college football on Saturdays, or NFL games on Sunday, football season is a huge part of fall. There is nothing better than rooting on your home or favorite team. And let's not forget the wonderful food that surrounds us during these times! Yum!

3. Pumpkin EVERYTHING

With fall comes pumpkins, and who doesn't like pumpkin lattes, pumpkin cookies, or even pumpkin patches? Before you know it we will all be carving pumpkins!

4. Halloween

Speaking of pumpkin carving, Halloween is such a sweet treat. Between all the candy, costumes and fun, there are sure to be sweet thoughts that come to mind. Also, the scary movies on TV are a plus! BOO!

5. Scarves, Leggings and Boots

All the girls will agree with me here, there is nothing more comfortable than the attire that comes with fall. Over sized sweaters paired with leggings and boots. A girls favorite outfit by far!

6. Bonfires

Personally, one of my favorite parts of fall is having a bonfire in the crisp, cool air. Clothed in jeans and a sweatshirt, everything sounds so perfect.

7. Spotlighting

With fall comes the anticipation for hunting season. Squirrel, turkey, and deer season are all right around the corner if not already starting. Spotlighting to find all of your potential candidates for the hunting season is a very exciting activity!

8. Harvest Festivals

Fall brings lots of activities all around the area. Craft shows, food festivals and much more take place during the fall season. What's better than eating a warm bowl of homemade soup while partaking in these fall activities? Nothing!

9. Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is on my top three holiday chart. I love the food coma that comes along with this delicious holiday. Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, noodles... Delicious!

10. Corn Mazes

Corn mazes are one thing that gets me just about as excited as a little kid on Christmas morning. Nothing beats funding your way through a corn maze with family or friends. Always a good time awaiting!

11. Haunted Houses

Who doesn't like a haunted house? Well, actually many people don't. But it's great to get a little adrenaline rush going through one?

There is no doubt that fall will forever be my favorite season. Everything about fall makes me so anxious but excited! Bring on all of the FALL!

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

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.
