As Summer Doors Close, Fall Doors Open

Fall you are beautiful, and the perfect season to follow the beloved season of Summer.

As Summer Doors Close, Fall Doors Open
Alexa Levin

As the night approaches sooner and the cool currents pop in for weekly visits, we know that Autumn and school are approaching. Summer blues appear but the excitement for pumpkin picking, hot tea, thanksgiving and everything in between starts to build up.

In my opinion, nothing compares to Summer vacation and the weather that comes along with it. Your skin gets clearer, your smile gets bigger, your nights are better and your skin gets darker. Though, when Summer doors close and Autumn doors I accept it because everything about the Fall is enjoyable as well. Ready to get back into a routine, school starts just when I begin to get bored. Don't get me wrong I rather be in summer mode all year long, but school could be so much worse.

The first day back on campus reminds me that school isn't too bad. Seeing your friends across the quad and haven't seen them since May is another reminder that school will be great this semester! Remembering you have English 101 with a teammate of yours is so satisfying and relieving.

The best part about the month of September is that I take advantage of the last visits to the beach. Tasting the last bit of Summer is nice and getting your first taste of Fall is also beautiful. Walking into AC Moore and seeing Fall wreathes and Fall scented candles is depressing as well as stunning.

Fall has a specific smell. It smells like comfort and family and a ton of love. The weather is a nice in between of Summer and Winter and the endless adventures we can go on between Labor Day and Christmas are incredible. Heading out east to go apple picking, or pumpkin picking. Visiting the beautiful fields of Sunflowers. A trip to the city for lunch and a play. The months of Fall are so incredible.

So the next time you complain the Summer is over, school is back again; just remember that it is Autumn you're complaining about and Autumn is a wonderful and eventful season to follow Summer.

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.
