5 Reasons Why October Is Amazing

The fall has a little bit of something for everyone. Whether you can't wait to see the leaves change, dress up as your favorite character during Halloween, or just enjoy the the seasonal treats. Even if fall is not your favorite season, there are so many things that will make your October full of warmth. Here are a few of my favorites:


1. Pumpkin picking

Just as apple picking is coming to an end, October does not let down with its perfect pumpkin picking atmosphere. Whether you go with a partner, your best friend, or your family, pumpkin picking outings are full of apple cider, tractor rides, corn mazes, and yes, pumpkins. After you find that perfect pumpkin, be sure to decorate and carve it!

2. Reliving your childhood with Disney channel Halloween movies

I can’t speak for everyone, but personally I believe the Halloween Disney movies are the greatest movies ever. From Halloween Town, to Hocus Pocus, to Casper, these movies allow you to be a kid again, forget your daily stress, and enjoy the season. Snuggling up with a pumpkin spice latte and popcorn is a must.

3. Seasonal Treats Come Out

October is when it becomes socially acceptable to eat anything orange. This is when Starbucks launches its Fall specialty drinks, oreo’s are stuffed with pumpkin filling, and pumpkin pie becomes a legitimate breakfast choice.

4. Everything Starts To Change

We begin to see those orange and red leaves forming, feel the transition to cool, crisp air, and unpack those flannels we stored away over summer.

5. Halloween

This is a pretty obvious reason. Halloween means creative costume contests, haunted houses, and themed parties. It also means you can eat candy all day and nobody will judge you.

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.

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.
