5 Ways to Get Into A Fall-ish Mood

The season might be saying it's fall, but the weather is telling us that we're still in summer. If you live down south, then you're probably still experiencing humid and sunny 90-95 degree days. I find myself praying for 50 degree days so I can roll out of bed and throw on an oversized sweater instead of tank tops and sandals. For those of you who are desperately trying to get in the mood for fall, here are a few simple changes you can make!

It may be hotter than hades right now, but that shouldn't stop you from getting into an autumn state of mind!

1. Add some fall decor to your home.

Nothing says autumn like burnt orange and neutral tones! Whether you get some pumpkins, a flower vase, or even a fall scented candle, this is a perfect way to get into the fall spirit!

2. Switch to fall colors.

Switching to fall colors can make all the difference! Whether it's through your lipsticks, clothing, nail polish, or accessories, you can easily incorporate the darker colors into your everyday wardrobe.

3. Do some fall-ish things.

If you're of age, I'd highly encourage you to do a wine tasting! The fall of the year is the best time to taste wines because it is during the harvest season. If you're not 21 yet, there are so many great things you can do such as going to a pumpkin patch pumpkin patch, going apple picking, or even a haunted house. If you live in Kentucky, seeing a late night horse race at Churchill Downs is also something you can do!

4. Try out some fall recipes.

Fall is known for being the time of pumpkin pies and lattes! I'm sure most of you probably already have some of these fall recipes pinned on a Pinterest board somewhere. Now is the time to finally try them out! And if you fail, you can always go to the grocery store and buy something.

5. Make a fall music playlist.

There's nothing that gets me hyped for fall more than a good playlist. I always tend to drift towards throwback r&b and country during the fall months. Making a playlist is the perfect way to have all of your favorite songs in one place!

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.

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.
