5 Reasons We All Love Fall

It's that time of year where we all become basic sorority girls at least ONCE.

It's every basic white girl's favorite time of year. We thrive for more reasons than finally being able to order the Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Here's your guide to why fall is, hands down, the best time of the year. With the exception of Christmas of course.

1. Leaves!!


Possibly one of the best parts of the fall season is the beautiful scenery. It changes everyone’s mood immediately. You step out the door and feel like you've stepped into some romantic scene out of a Nicholas Sparks book. The leaves are changing colors, then they're falling. Not to mention, they provide some VSCO worthy pictures.

2. The FOOD

Apple Cider. Mashed Potatoes. Corn Pudding. Chili. Warm Soup. Honestly, nothing is more important than the food that gets to take the stage during this season.

3. Sweater Weather

It’s the time of year that sorority girls thrive the most. After devouring every single delish meal that the fall season brings, you can throw on the big sweater you’ve been waiting all year to wear. Or you can look super in style and chic simply by throwing a vest and scarf onto a long sleeve with some leggings.

4. Pumpkin patches and corn mazes and Football OH MY!!

For those of you with significant others, it’s the ultimate season for dates and cute pics. For those of us who are forever waiting on those significant others, it’s the ultimate season for family outings and dates with your best friends, followed by some of the best football games of the season.

5. HALLOWEEN AND THANKSGIVING!!!!!!

Aside from Christmas (and my birthday of course), Fall brings two of the best holidays. First, we are given Halloween. An excuse to dress up in whatever way you desire (usually) without the judgement of others. You can fulfill your dream of being a Kardashian and simply say “it’s my Halloween costume.” Next we are blessed with Thanksgiving. The QUEEN of food holidays, behind the King Christmas. This brings the best episodes of Friends and endless buffets of turkey and mashed potatoes.

It's the coziest time of year. So grab a PSL, throw on an over-sized sweater, and cuddle up with your fam after a long day at the pumpkin patch because it's probably time for some football. Before you know it, snow will be on the ground and it'll be CHRISTMAS!!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
