7 Tell-Tale Signs of Fall in State College
Onward State

With Daylight Saving Time ending on Sunday, fall is surely upon us! Pumpkin carving, leaves falling, and a chill in the air were good hints too. How many of these signs of fall have you noticed in State College?

1. Football!!!

Unless you live under a rock, you're probably well aware that it's football season and our Nittany Lions have had quite a year so far! I guess there are other fall sports, but nothing feels more like fall to me than celebrating in Beaver Stadium with 107,000 of the world's greatest fans!

2. Changing wardrobes

With the changing weather comes a changing wardrobe for many Penn Staters. Flip flops are swapped out for UGGs, shorts and dresses are traded for leggings, and the North Faces come out in full force.

3. Plague Season

If you're not sniffling or coughing yet, you must be on some strong vitamins or something because the Campus Plague is almost impossible to avoid this time of year.

4. PUMPKIN SPICE

It all started with the Pumpkin Spice Latte... Now we have Pumpkin Spice milk, Pumpkin Spice gum, Pumpkin Spice Cheerios, Pumpkin Spice vodka, Pumpkin Spice yogurt, Pumpkin Spice bagels, Pumpkin Spice chocolate, Pumpkin Spice cream cheese... Please, someone, come up with a new spice!

5. Falling leaves

And the child in you will never stop wanting to jump into the piles.

6. The Instagram captions

If someone you follow is in a relationship, they're definitely going to be breaking out their cheesiest fall themed captions so have your likes ready!

7. Midterm Season

While October and November means Halloween and Thanksgiving, it also means lots of exams, papers, and projects... Yay

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.
