1. Order a PSL

Screw the haters. You order that PSL and you embrace every divine moment of it. It only happens once a year, just live your best life and accept the inevitable "basic white girl" label.

2. Go to a football game

3. Have a bonfire

4. Make homemade hot chocolate

Check out this quick and easy recipe from All Recipes. A little time and effort make all the difference in a cup of creamy hot cocoa when compared to packets of Swiss Miss.

5. Go apple picking

6. Have a scary movie marathon

7. Go through a haunted house

8. Take a nature walk

9. Do a corn maze

10. Knit a scarf

Step one: learn to knit.

11. Bake cookies from scratch

You can never go wrong with this classic recipe for Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies.

12. Alternatively, bake those delectable boxed Pillsbury cookies

13. Spend a rainy day reading a book

14. Compile a soothing playlist

Mine consists of Bon Iver, Ben Howard, The National, Alabama Shakes, and Max Jury.

15. Donate blood

What's a better way to celebrate Halloween than getting some blood sucked out of you? According to the Community Blood Center, blood shortages are most common during the summer and winter months, so this is a great time to start getting in the habit of giving blood throughout the holidays. And in the wake of natural disasters like Hurricane Harvey, the demand for donations skyrockets. Suck up that fear of needles and go save some lives.

16. Go stargazing

17. Offer to rake a neighbor's yard

Don't make the little old man next door do it all by himself.

18. Bake a pie

Then eat said pie all by yourself in one sitting.

19. Take a technology break

20. Go to a local fair or festival

Pawnee Harvest Festival anyone?

21. Donate your old winter clothing and gear

Sweaters, coats, hats, gloves, boots... if you aren't using them, someone else will. Find a local shelter or clothing drive to donate your unused winter gear to (staying far away from the Salvation Army and other charities that exploit, discriminate against, and deceive the people they claim to help).

22. Make homemade soup

23. Start a Five Minute Journal

Get yours here.

24. Make s'mores

Or if you're like me, just eat all the chocolate.

25. Plant bulbs with your mom

Bulbs are plants that go in the ground during the fall to bloom in the springtime. Take a day with your mom/motherly figure to plant bulbs outside and spend some quality time together.

26. Go on a hayride

Unless you're allergic to hay.

27. Bake pumpkin bread

To go with your PSL, of course.

28. Declutter your room

Spring Cleaning doesn't have to come just once a year. With the colder weather coming, you're going to be spending more time inside and it's important to keep your environment clean, fresh, and welcoming. Clear out your closet, get rid of things you don't need and aren't using, and try out some feng shui techniques so your living space can become a breeding ground for positive energy.

29. Treat yourself to some Bath & Body Works fall scents

30. Or make your own candles

31. Read a Stephen King novel

32. Start a new TV show

Fall is full of television premieres, and it's also the perfect time to binge shows that will be returning this winter, like the CW's The 100.

33. Do a DIY project off of Pinterest

34. Watch every Tim Burton movie

35. Have a pet costume contest with friends

36. Learn the "Thriller" dance

37. Go for an early jog in the crisp air

38. Make caramel apples

39. Press leaves

40. Have a Harry Potter marathon

There are so many ways to enjoy all the beauty, coziness, and fun that fall has to offer. Go out there and make the most of it!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
