Autumn; a time for nature photos on Snapchat and Instagram, pumpkin spice lattes and large sweaters. After a while of sweating in the burning hot of summer, the countdown to the fall season begins. The excitement for fall scents and cool air rises and summer slowly fades away. Autumn might not be everyone's favorite season, there's something in store for everyone.

Pumpkin everything.

From coffee to cereal to cookies to bread, numerous food products and beverages are sprinkled and pumpkin spice and autumn flavors. Whether you're a fan of pumpkin or not, you'll most likely eat something containing a sort of pumpkin flavoring. Trying to avoid pumpkin flavored anything during the fall is like trying to avoid Christmas shopping during the winter; you say you won't buy anything but always end up buying something.

Cool weather.

Nothing is more refreshing than stepping out into the crisp autumn air after a scorching summer. It's the perfect weather to enjoy a walk through the park without sweating through your clothing.

Warm comfy clothing.

Time to break out the jeans and over-sized sweaters, because cooler air means warmer clothing. There's nothing I love more than wearing soft cuddly sweaters that go down past your waist with a pair of jeans and boots or shoes (and I'm sure others can agree). Fashion choices are endless when it comes to the fall season. Sometimes it's warm enough to wear a T-shirt or shorts and other times it's cool enough for sweaters, jackets and sweatpants.

Nature.

Seeing the leaves change from green to shades of red, orange yellow and brown is without a doubt, one of the most beautiful sights in nature. As days go by, nature gradually transforms into vibrant tints and leaves slowly fall, painting the ground with warm tints.

Fall festivals.

Most towns host annual festivals or flea markets in this particular season. Homemade treats and decorations can be bought for low prices and local entertainment is almost always included. Grabbing a few friends or family members and going is always a fun experience.

Halloween.

It doesn't matter how old you are, you can't not like Halloween. Excuses to dress up and eat candy, scare people, and transform your home into a haunted house. Whether you decide to dress up and go out or not, you can always host Halloween parties with friends or have a horror movie marathon with family.

Fall may not be your favorite season, but there's no other season like it. It's undeniable that there are some things to look forward to when autumn is approaching.

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.

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.

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.
