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.

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.
