7 Very Real Reasons To Be Excited For Fall

We all may have our different opinions about fall, but you have to admit, there are some things that everyone can relate to. After all, it's the season that gives us the chance to turn over a new leaf (literally), get a new wardrobe, and celebrate some kick ass holidays. Forget about hay rides, corn mazes, the crunching of the leaves, and other aesthetically pleasing aspects of the season and let's focus on the very real things that make us happy to be rid of summer and say hello to fall.

1. BIG ASS SWEATERS.

I don't about you, but I'm a huge sweater person. There's something about being wrapped up in these huge, comfy pieces of clothing and being able to look cute at the same time. Plus, sweaters look great on anyone. The bigger the sweater, the better. Now, who's ready to bring their sweaters out of hibernation?


2. Not having to shave, THANK GOD! Leggings for days.

It doesn't get any better than this. Summer is more than enough time to have to shave. We love our dresses, skirts, and shorts but by the end of the season, we're all ready to not have to shave every single day or every two days. And if you are one of the girls who never feels the need to shave her legs, more power to you. Goals.


3. Halloween.

Who isn't excited about Halloween? Candy, scary movies, costume parties, haunted houses, and let's be honest, you're never too old to go trick or treating. Just make up some excuse like, "Oh I'm just tagging along and taking care of my little brother/sister/niece/nephew." No big deal.


4. The obsession over hot drinks like teas and lattes.

Yes, we know pumpkin flavored beverages are all the rage during the fall but that isn't the only thing we should be excited for. We can actually have hot drinks and worry about starting to sweat after a couple of sips. I love the cold and the fact that it's simply so pleasing to warm up with a nice hot tea or latte is one of the best things in the world.


5. Fireplaces.

Now, this one might be a bit borderline cliche because it's not like we're going to be near one at all times or that it'll be like the movies we're the crackle is "just right" and it gives off just the right amount of heat. In reality, you're really only going stay close to one of these for a few minutes until you start to sweat under your cozy sweater. Still, I'd warm up by the fireplace than the opposite situation, cold.



6. Being able to breathe during a jog.

I don't know about you but personally, jogging in the cold feels like one of the best things in the world. If you haven't tried it, you should. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it definitely beats being able to run for only five seconds in the scolding heat and feeling like death after about a minute. I find myself saying that it's way too hot to go running in this heat but as soon as the temperature goes down, it'll be much easier to run and not feel as tired while doing it.



7. Not sweating 24/7.

Whether it's climbing just one flight of stairs or walking to class, by the time you get to your destination, you're already sweating like crazy for no reason. WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT?! I understand it's a normal bodily reaction to heat but come on, we just want to stay smelling nice. Who else is ready to not sweat their make-up off after one class or worry about sweat stains?

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.
