It's officially October which means as the weather cools down (even if it's only by 1 degree), the boots come out, we cover up with fuzzy blankets, and pumpkin spice lattes are in hand. Every year, millions of Americans scramble to Starbucks for their first taste of the PSL, signifying the unofficial start of fall. In 2015, Americans spent around $500 million on pumpkin spice products, according to Forbes.

Even though the PSL is the most popular fall drink, there are so many more flavors and themes to try! Save money by making your own autumn-themed drinks! Here are some of my favorite recipes:

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
