6 Reasons Why Texans Love Fall

If you're from Texas then you know how drastic the season changes can be. Heck, the temperature on Monday could be 98 degrees and somehow drop to 80 by Wednesday. I think many of us can agree that the transition from summer to fall is the easiest season change throughout Texas. Summer is great and all, but there's just some things about fall that us Texans love.

1. The temperature drop

We all know how hot it gets in Texas. Fall means that you can go outdoors for longer than ten minutes without sunburning. And don't even get me started on awkward tan lines.

2. Football season

To many Texans the only thing that fall means is football season, and we take football very seriously. Even if you're not a huge football fan like me, it's still fun to go to local high school or college games. Fall wouldn't be the same without Friday night games.

3. No more mosquitoes

My favorite (and I'm sure many others' favorite) thing about fall is that all the mosquitoes die off. Finally, I can go outside in peace without fighting off the swarms of these pesky blood-sucking creatures.

4. The fair

The fair only comes around once a year, so it's a big deal. We love it for its rides, games, and live music, but fall just makes any outside activity like the fair so much more bearable.

5. The holidays are near

Fall is the beginning of the holiday season, and we all know that the holidays mean family, food, and good times. We Texans have strong love for our families and love the holidays because it brings us all together. Fall just increases our anticipation for the rest of the holiday season.

6. The food

Pecan pie, turkey, corn bread, and really anything made on the grill.

Let's face it, we all use "but it's the holidays" as an excuse for over eating. It's OK though! Texans can't help that our food is so good. It isn't fall if you don't eat some comfort food every now and then.

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.

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.
