The changing leaves, the chilly weather, the smell of autumn in the air. The constant debate about whether life is about #pumpkinspice or #applecider. Sweaters, scarves, boots and that one super comfy pair of jeans all add up to a perfect autumn season. With the rapidly cooling weather, comfort food comes to the mind. So what food do you turn to the most as a way to fight off the cold? For at least my household, the best way to do that is through soup. Following are five classic soups that are great for this time of year!

Chicken Noodle

Chicken Noodle soup is THE classic soup staple for when you're sick, cold, or just feeling like an easy meal. I know when I was sick, nothing could beat warm chicken noodle soup, especially of the homemade variety. As a "grown up" with a busy schedule and all those lovely life hurdles, spending all day making homemade chicken noodle soup isn't really my best option. Liz Fourez and her site lovegrowswild.com have combatted this issue for me. She provides a 30-minute homemade chicken noodle recipe for those nights where you need the extra warmth.

Baked Potato

One of my favorite 30-minute staples is loaded baked potato soup. For me, cold weather equals comfort foods. There are so many ways that you can dress up the soup to cater to your tastes. Bonus points for the fact that even my picky eater loves it even if it's only because it involves bacon. There are a billion different recipes for this soup and some do take longer than others. One of my favorites for when I've put off washing my crockpot and still want this creamy soup takes only 35 minutes total. The recipe comes from the "I Heart Naptime Cookbook" but I found it on iwashyoudry.com.

French Onion

Now, I'm not a big fan of French onion soup unless I have some fresh baked bread to dip in it. However, I do know a few people who absolutely l-o-v-e love to eat this soup. This soup does tend to take a little bit longer than the other recipes so far but the results are well worth it. The recipe that I like to use comes from the Food Network and was posted courtesy of Tyler Florence. The recipe does take 1 hour and 10 minutes. However, I promise whether you eat it with fresh bread or on its own, you'll love it.

Cheddar Broccoli

Now, I'm not normally a fan of broccoli. In fact, I'm probably worse than most toddlers when it comes to the mini tree veggies. There's just something about dousing those little green spruces in cheese that sets my mouth watering. This makes cheddar broccoli soup a great choice when I'm feeling low on my veggie intake. The recipe comes from a food blogger on his site 101cookingfortwo.com. It takes an hour to make but comes out delicious. The site also offers options to make the soup more like Panera's or to add certain ingredients that may be more appealing.

Tomato Basil

I'm not a big fan of the taste of tomato in general. However, nothing goes better with a grilled cheese sandwich than creamy tomato basil soup. It's also an incredibly good staple for those chilly days. The total time for this recipe is 30 minutes and it's a relatively easy recipe to follow. The recipe comes from dontsweattherecipe.com. A bonus additive with this recipe is that it can be made to be completely vegetarian. I find it pairs well with both your standard grilled cheese sandwich or with a mozzarella based grilled cheese sandwich.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
