The Pumpkin Spice Latte is back for the year, folks, and that means we're officially in "seasonal mode". If you're looking to spice up your living space with some new scents and colors, here's your go-to guide:

Candles

If your living space allows it, candles are a great way to warm your home with the scents for the season. My personal favorite are the 3-wick candles from Bath and Body Works. There's constantly sales going on for these, so be sure to subscribe to their emails for those coupons. If your dorm doesn't allow candles, no worries! The wallflowers are also a great choice to give your room a nice touch of fall.

Decorations

Giphy

Get the Command Hooks ready, because now is the time to get your decorating gears in motion! Most colleges have a department store nearby, and they'll most likely have all the decorations you need. Target has some of my favorite fall decorations, with most of them being in the front sale section. Check them out here!

Spice Up Your Food

Giphy

If you like Pumpkin, you've probably already had a few Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks. Released earlier than usual this year, these drinks get everyone in the fall spirit. If you're not into Pumpkin flavoring, incorporating apple and cinnamon flavors into your foods and drinks is a great way to add a seasonal touch. Check out some of my favorite fall recipes here!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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!

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.
