10 Reasons Why Autumn Is The Best Season

Yes, I know it's August. But I just had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season, so I am ready for fall.

Autumn or fall, whatever you call it, I love it. The weather is perfect. It's the time of the year where I get to eat all of my favorite foods, and it's just cozy. But what are the best things about fall? Here are the top ten reasons why autumn is the best season.

1. Pumpkin Spice Everything

In the fall, everything has a pumpkin spice option. From the normal coffee, lattes, cookies, and bread, to the more weirder things like cereal, coffee creamers, and even seen pumpkin spice-flavored cough drops. Pumpkin spice takes over stores and it's the most wonderful thing about autumn.

2. Crunchy Leaves

There is no better sound in nature than the sound of walking through a pile of leaves and hearing them crunch under your shoes.

3. Apple/Pumpkin Picking

This is the best autumn activity! It is a great activity for any age, whether you're with your family, a group of friends, or on a date. Picking pumpkins or apples is a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

4. Cozy Sweaters

Sweaters are my favorite style of clothing. You can dress them up or wear them down, but no matter how you choose to wear one, you always look effortlessly stylish.

5. Halloween

The best holiday of the season! A time to binge-watch all of your favorite scary movies or to re-watch "Hocus Pocus" a million times. Or if you're more into the costume part, it's a great day to harness your inner witch. Oh, and don't forget the free candy.

6. Thanksgiving

The second best holiday of the season. The warmth of family all around. The smells of your Thanksgiving meals. The holiday traditions beginning to take place.

7. New TV Shows

If you're a lover of television, then you know fall brings back your favorite shows or new TV shows. It's a great break from watching reruns all summer long.

8. Back-to-School Season

Now, this might be the nerdy Education Major coming out of me, but I love back-to-school season. New notebooks, pens, and pencils. For me, there is nothing like starting a new school year.

9. Football

From watching football on the TV to attending a game, football is a staple fall activity. It's a way to bring friends and family together and to have a great weekend to get together.

10. Warm Drinks

Goodbye iced tea, hello hot beverages! On a chilly autumn night, there is nothing more enjoyable than sipping on hot coffee, tea, cocoa, or even mulled wine. It warms you from the inside out and prepares you for the winter ahead.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
