Maybe you already love fall. Or maybe you hate it. Maybe you can predict exactly what will be featured on this list.

1. Cute Fall Clothes

Whether you like leggings or skinny jeans, no one can argue that fall fashion is the best. Because who doesn't like chunky scarves, oversized sweaters, riding boots, combat boots and fuzzy socks? (Hint: the correct answer is no one) Plus, the colors are the best. Combining neutrals like black, brown, cream and white with olive greens, maroons and mustards makes for a perfect combination of color.

2. Yummy Starbucks Drinks

You might like a pumpkin spice latte. Or maybe you're a salted caramel mocha kinda girl. We're all in the mood for a caramel apple spice or a toasted graham cracker latte. But these are the Instagram worthy drinks that never fail to keep you warm or make you love the fall.

3. Halloween

Because who doesn't love dressing up? Especially with Pinterest. You can find some of the cutest costume ideas whether you're trying to do a couples theme or if you're going out with a group of friends. Or maybe you're stuck at home handing out candy and you just want to feel the spirit of Halloween. Besides, what's not to like about candy and watching "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," "Hocus Pocus,"one of the numerous "Halloweentown" movies, or even "The Nightmare Before Christmas."

4. Pie Season

Some of us love to make them and some of us just love eating them. Whatever your preference, fall is the perfect time for testing out a new recipe. Especially with both pumpkins and apples being in season.

5. Football

Even if you don't really like football, it can be tons of fun to attend an outdoor football game. Whether it's high school, college or even professional, you're sure to have tons of fun spending time with your friends trying to keep warm and cheering on your favorite team.

6. Colorful Leaves

They're so seemingly insignificant yet so important. They're beautiful to look at and photograph. They're fun to jump in. They give our landscapes a whole new look for the fall time.

7. Bonfires

Sure, you can go to a bonfire or sit around a fire place in the summer, but let's be honest. Who wants to sit around a hot pit when it is almost 100 degrees outside? In the fall, you can sit around a fire pit outside and keep warm because the temperature is perfect. Even if you're sitting around a fireplace indoors, you can make delicious s'mores to enjoy the fall weather.

8. Thanksgiving

It's probably the best fall holiday. And what's not to like? Pie, turkey and mashed potatoes, as well as cranberry sauce, corn and a plethora of other treats are the only food groups on Thanksgiving. It's time to spend with family reflecting on what you've so graciously been given. Plus, it's not so bad to have a break from school.

9. Black Friday Shopping

Now, not to the extreme of going out at 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving, but staying up on Thanksgiving night and heading out to start Christmas shopping around midnight is always a fun adventure. Plus, there are always deals to be found

10. Daylight Savings Time

You get an extra hour of sleep. What's not to like?

11. Fall Festivals

Go pick a pumpkin, enjoy some hot apple cider, hay rides and corn mazes. And if you're feeling it, pick up some kettle corn. Fall festivals (usually found on farms) are super fun to go to and never fail to impress.

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.
