Fall is finally in full swing! The leaves are brilliant colors- crimsons, oranges, and golds, and they're swirling around as they fall from their branches. The weather has suddenly turned cold and the season of oversized sweaters, leggings, boots, scarves, and beanies is upon us. Pumpkin spice lattes are back, along with everything else pumpkin flavored. November is the bridge between Halloween and Christmas for most people, but for me, it comes with my favourite holiday. With Thanksgiving just a few days away, here are some things I'm thankful for!

1. The Colors

The colors of autumn are by far my favourite part of the season. The vibrant reds, yellows, oranges, and even browns always put a smile on my face and there's nothing like the satisfying crunch of leaves under you feet while you walk once they start to fall.

2. Oversized sweaters

Sweaters are not only some of the most comfortable clothing items in existence, but they're also cute! Whether you prefer solid colors, patterns, wool, knit, or cashmere, you can never go wrong with the classic sweater, leggings, and boots combo.

3. Pumpkin Pie

While fall is the season of pumpkin everything, I am most thankful for the pumpkin pie I get to eat on Thanksgiving. There is nothing better the a delicious slice with a dollop of whip cream to finish your Thanksgiving dinner.

4. Scarves

Anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely hate walking outside and feeling the cold on my neck. I know it sounds weird, but an exposed neck in the cold is one of the worst feelings. That's why I'm thankful for scaves! They come in a plethora of colors and patterns and you can usually find a way to work them into any outift.

5. Pumpkin patches

Pumpkin patches are a fall staple. Everyone wants to go to the pumpkin patch and take cute pictures. It's a rite of passage every year! A day at the pumpkin patch is a day of fun with your friends, so what's not to be thankful for?

6. Apple picking

A day of apple picking means delicious apples to eat for days to come. While the picking itself might get tedious, a day with your friends never is.

7. Baking

On days that it is too cold to go on a trip to the apple orchard or pumpkin patch, stay in with your friends and bake instead! Baking is a such a bonding activity and you can eat your treats at the end of the day. Count the memories, not the calories!

This Thanksgiving season, what are you thankful for?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
