"It's the little things that matter."

Perhaps now more than ever, those words ring true. It has always been - and always will be - the little things that make the biggest difference in how we feel. In light of that, here are 25 beautiful little things that you can look forward to this fall season, and all the ones to come. 🧡💛

1. Scented candles.

Cinnamon sugar, pumpkin spice, gingerbread, and everything in between.

2. Fall drinks.

We all know about pumpkin spice, but don't forget about caramel apple spice, warm apple cider, chai, and some salted caramel mocha. ☕

3. Sweaters that feel like a hug.

There's nothing like wearing your favorite sweater while you're taking classes or working from home. Or, better yet, when curled up with a warm cup of coffee and a good book or show.

4. Warm lights.

A small string of yellow lights in your room, living room, or backyard does wonders in livening up a space.

5. Seeing beautiful, warm colors at every turn.

Trees are just canvasses and their leaves are simply brushstrokes with the most beautiful of colors.

6. Stepping on crunchy leaves.

Jumping in puddles and stepping on leaves always brings out the kid in us.

7. The prettiest mugs.

Sometimes, all it takes is a cute mug to make your heart smile.

8. Seasonal decor.

The smallest painting, garland, or candle can refresh your setting and give a much-needed change.

9. Fuzzy socks.

Socks are just a hug for your feet, if we're being honest.

10. Boots for days.

If socks are hugs, then boots are blankets.

11. New hairstyles.

Trying a new hairstyle with the changing of the weather is a common, accessible way to feel good about yourself.

12. Pumpkin picking.

There are few things as wholesome as visiting a pumpkin farm and the nearby quintessential stores for the most special little finds.

13. The best baked goods.

There's nothing like spending a morning, afternoon, or evening baking some all-time and seasonal favorites: spiced cookies, brownies, and maple pecan blondies.

14. Chai.

Cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon? It's hard for my Indian heart to say no.

15. Crisp, cool air.

Breathe it in.

16. Scenic drives.

Pretty tunes and pretty skies make for pretty drives.

17. Warm blankets.

Feel the warmth and feel the love, then wrap yourself in it.

18. Comforting bowl meals.

Mac and cheese, winter salads, and lentils simply cannot be overlooked.

19. Scarf season.

Bring out those cute scarves!

20. Pumpkin pie.

Nothing else to say here.

21. Hot chocolate.

Hot cocoa and pretzels are an underrated combination. Also, pumpkin hot cocoa exists and you may want to try it.

22. Halloween!

Dress up or not, the decorations are always creative. Also, you may find your favorite sweet treats on sale.

23. Thanksgiving.

Family, friends, and food. 🤎❤🤎

24. Autumn nail polish colors.

Olive green, cream, scarlet, burnt orange, golden yellow, and maybe even navy blue.

25. Beautiful sunsets.

Take those polaroids, make those memories, and don't look back. 🧡

Wherever you are and however you may be feeling, take some baby steps to incorporate and/or be aware of little things like these. You're gonna be just fine because you already are, well, just fine as you are. 😇

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
