Fall is my favorite season; it always has been. The pumpkins everywhere, cool weather, apple cider, oversized sweaters, drive ins, spooky movies, changing leaves, must I say anything else? '

However, with all these changes, it's hard not to wish for someone to do these things with and to go through the fall festivities alongside. It seems like everyone around us who are in happy relationships is definitely showing it more than usual on social media. This phenomenon is called cuffing season, where everyone around you is either "falling in love", or "in love".

These factors come together in one season and make it really hard to not wish you had a bae of your own. However friends, please please please please PLEASE, do not let the pressure of cuffing season mess with your expectations and standards of your partner.

I know it's easier said than done – but as someone who has settled time and time again, the wait is so much better than being in an unhappy and unhealthy relationship.

Every time you get the urge to settle for someone, take a step back and ask if you are swooning for the bare minimum. Are you swooning over basic compliments without anyone actually getting to know you? Are you swooning for the person who Snapchats you explicitly after 10:30 pm every night?

If so, maybe you really need to consider what you really want right now. If you are OK with something not-so-serious, that's perfectly OK! But if you are wanting something more than that, you cannot settle. Point blank.

Be with the person who loves you the way you need to be loved, someone who respects your needs, boundaries, and is willing to be here for you beyond the fall festivities.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
