He has no idea what he's doing in his life.

Some of us just don't know what we're doing. We're kind of winging it. That's okay. Maybe that's what college is here for.

We can't properly express our feelings at all times.

Gave me cookie, got you cookie, man. Sometimes feelings are hard, and that's also okay.

He has no idea how to handle awkward situations.

Unless it's by moonwalking away, of course.

He has a hidden intelligence.

Like when he had to file a bunch of lawyer paperwork for his girlfriend on Valentine's Day after convincing her assistant to quit. Sometimes our brain comes in clutch when we need it.

We've loved someone that wasn't good for us.

Caroline, we're looking straight at you. Remember you deserve more than someone who only wants to know they can have you.

We questioned dating a best friend.

Then some of us did, and some of us didn't. Either way, we've all been in those shoes.

He puts his close friends above all.

Remember when Cece got engaged at Schmidt and Nick's tinfinity party? And even though they were fighting, Nick still ran after him? That's the kind of friendship we all need.

Sometimes we need our friends to get us into gear.

When Winston tells Nick he never finishes anything, he then finishes his zombie novel. Maybe sometimes all we ever need is the harsh truth from friends to get us moving again. (Let this be a reminder to write the essay you've been avoiding. Like, after this article.)

Lastly, he's himself.

The best part? He's not (entirely) ashamed. And you should be fully unashamed.

Be fully you, every day.

8 Spotify Playlists To Get You In The Autumn Mood

The temperature may not be very Autumn-like, but these playlists sure are.

Autumn is my favorite time of the year. The leaves change, pumpkin spice everything hits the shelves (thank you, world!), the 13 Nights of Halloween on Freeform (formerly abcfamily) and the temperature drops. Well, the temperature is supposed to drop. Being in south Alabama, however, means that the temperature may be relatively low early in the mornings, but you're still going to suffer in the afternoon. So if the weather outside isn't getting you in the Autumn mood, maybe these Spotify playlists will help you slip into that wonderful, Autumn state of mind.

First Snow

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

I have never understood why grown-ups complain when the leaves are all off the trees, and the temperatures take a decided turn towards the zero on the thermometer. I hear complaints about the impending winter weather, and the driving in the snow and ice. We live in Pennsylvania, so I bite my tongue instead of stating the obvious: Maybe you should move to a warmer climate?

Halloween

Halloween is a fun holiday for everyone of all ages. There are so many fun things to do in the month of October before Halloween and the day of Halloween. I love Halloween especially with all the candy and different types of goodies. Halloween is for everyone that enjoys to be a part of this wonderful holiday and also be careful on Halloween as well. It gives everyone a chance to show what they love to do as well.
