23 Activities That Won't Get You Into The Fall Mood In The Slightest
Alisa Anton

Fall has arrived! Time to watch “Hocus Pocus" and shotgun Pumpkin Spice Lattes, then and watch “Hocus Pocus" again because you were daydreaming about watching “Halloweentown" the first time. While your head is spinning with ideas for festive fall fun, don't forget about these key activities to avoid. If you are trying to get into the spooky cinnamon-scented spirit definitely do not:

1. Build a well.

2. Wite-Out the word “raven” in your local library’s copy of “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe and replace all of the "raven"s with “Terminator 2.”

3. Text your casual hookup, "wut r we?"

4. Rip a gecko's tail off and document its regrowth using Morse code on a Lite-Brite.

5. Say "die" because you're not a Goonie and you never were.

6. Smash a precious vase in front of your reckless preteen to demonstrate that even your intense love for your most sentimental item pales in comparison to how much you care about them.

7. Save a kid that fell into the well you built.

8. Tape a picture of Zac Efron to your fork, stab of a piece of food and scream "Zac attack!"

9. Put a sign up by the well to ensure that it won't happen again.

10. Put the “fun” in "funeral" by performing “Landslide” and every time you say “slide,” slide the casket down a Slip 'N Slide.

11. Wonder how many people still own Zunes.

12. Make sure your realtor knows that you have eaten paella before.

13. Stare at your blank phone screen like the woman in this stock photo.

14. Google search "motorcycle and fire party" so that if you die, people think you were cooler than you actually are.

15. Build a wall around the well because youths continue to fall in.

16. Clap about carrots.

17. Try and explain the concept of corners to your boss so many times that she fires you.

18. Pretend to be reading a New York Times headline and say, "Kevin Bacon says, 'No more acting for me. I just won't do it!'" and watch your aunt have a heart attack.

19. Lose sleep trying to figure out why, despite your best efforts, a staggering percentage of neighborhood children are still ending up in the well.


20. Find out that your reckless preteen has been the one convincing the town's youths to jump into the well all along.

21. My god.

22. Smash the well to pieces to show your reckless preteen that the town's access to clean drinking water pales in comparison to the lives of the village children.

23. Carve a pumpkin because fall is fun. Get into it, ya freak!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
