While the average duck may mosey over to Starbucks on a bi-weekly basis to toss some pumpkin spice down their gullet, there are many alternative ways to celebrate the most wonderful season in the world. The eighty nine days, nineteen hours, and twenty three minutes of autumn are never enough. However, if you honor this crisp, chipmunk filled, spice infested season on a daily basis, you will be able to gain a new appreciation for the best season in the world. I have compiled a list of my personal favorite ways to celebrate the autumn season.

1. Cover yourself in molasses and roll in leaves

2. Dip all orifices in pumpkin spice on an hourly basis

3. Perform an annual leaf dance to honor the autumn spirits

4. Forgo all obligations to watch “Sleepy Hollow” on repeat until December

5. Make a leaf cocoon by taping autumn leaves to all of your walls

6. Or live outside among your fellow autumn loving rodents

7. Find out where your local neighborhood chipmunk hibernates and learn their hibernation schedule

8. If you're feeling brave, express your feelings to said chipmunk in hope that they will be requited

9. Listen to all of the music that was ever composed for Harry Potter for an hour and come out of your three day hibernation in a full autumnal daze

10. Repeat this process every single day from the end of August to the beginning of December

11. Remind yourself that AUTUMN IS THE BEST SEASON EVER AND THAT EVERYTHING ELSE SUCKS

12. Remain in denial about the existence of December

13. Signal your mating call so that all fellow rodents will flock to you

14. Accept their offerings and crown yourself tribe leader

15. Refuse to eat anything unless it has either pumpkin spice, chai, or ginger in it

16. And then proceed to watch all of your hair fall out

17. Refuse to do, think, or breathe anything that doesn’t have to do with autumn

18. Steal all of the chai tea from the dining hall and drink all of it in one sitting

19. Pass out from over-caffeination

20. Take nightly baths in apple cider

21. Celebrate Halloween over a two week time span

22. Make an homage to the spirits of autumn

23. Deny the existence of sleep so that you can be awake for the entirety of the autumn season

24. Go into mourning period around Thanksgiving

25. Take a three month refuge in Starbucks

26. Refuse to acknowledge the existence of any other season but autumn

27. Go into full fledged hibernation mode starting December first and ending when you finally hear the first crisp yellow autumn leaf hitting the grass in late August

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.
