I can still love fall without loving apple cider.

Apple Cider Is Gross And You Won't Convince Me Otherwise

In This Article:

Ah, fall. The sweet smell of bonfires lingers all day, the sound of leaves crunching beneath you, the sun shining through the leaves making every hour look like golden hour and the wretched, flat taste of apple cider.

Yes, you read that right. And I know I'm not alone. Apple cider is in the top five worst drinks of all time. Deep down, you know it is true; why else is it only marketed ONE season out of the year!? I have a feeling most of you out there only drink it because it's culturally accepted that when fall rolls around, you're expected to buy apple cider at the grocery store. Why are you doing it? Because if you don't, you'll look life a fall-loving fraud.

Let's change that stereotype. You can love fall without loving apple cider! I have often found that people squish their face up when I say I don't like apple cider; they look at me like I'm insane. "How can you like fall and not like apple cider?!" is usually what I hear after their face recovers from the crumpled expression. I love going to apple orchards as much as the next person but I would like to enjoy my doughnuts without feeling judgment for drinking water instead of apple cider.

Stop trying to make apple cider happen!

Friends, please stop trying to convince me that apple cider is good. If I am being honest, there are better pairings for doughnuts and pies than apple cider. So let's not deny ourselves any longer. And please, stop trying to convince me that apple cider is good (it isn't).

Drinks that pair better with doughnuts than apple cider:

1. Water

2. Coffee

3. Milk

6. Wine

Try a wine from the orchard you are at.

7. Literally ANYTHING but apple cider

If you like apple cider, honestly no hate, but like, what is there to like about it?

Ten Truths Every Honors Student Knows

One of the main reasons I came to Salem State was I was offered a spot in the honors program. While it offered many benefits, scholarships and priority registration to name a few, what drew me in was the strong sense of community and close knit friendships many found. I am glad to say that that I did find these things, and so much more. I found a home made up of some of the most brilliant and most unique people I have ever met. Being in an honors program creates a college experience unlike any other and creates some universal truths that really only an honors student can fully understand.

Friends

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?
