There is much to look forward to in fall, namely these seven trends!

1. Fall flavors

It's pumpkin spice and salted carmel season! You cannot help but FALL in love with these flavors. Treat yo'self to a pumpkin spice latte or salted carmel frappuccino whenever you get a chance. This was not sponsored by Starbucks.

2. Barn dances

Taking pictures is a must. Possible photo captions include: "first barn dance, yee-haw!" or "I forgot my flannel but still had fun." Beware: barn dances mostly play country music. To those who don't listen to country, enjoy only recognizing the Taylor Swift songs. It's a very interesting experience...

3. Sweater weather

Sweater weather is my favorite weather. It's not too cold nor too hot, so the weather is just right. Fall is a cozy season: bring out your favorite sweater and enjoy the beautiful weather with others!

4. Curtis Apple Orchard

At UIUC, we all come here once a year to apple pick, but you know damn well that "apple picking" actually means taking our annual fall pictures to post on Instagram. Whether or not you're actually apple picking, we always leave with their famous apple cinnamon doughnuts and apple cider.

5. Homecoming 

Paint the campus orange and blue as you show off your school spirit! At all the upperclassmen, I know y'all don't wear Illini gear as much as the freshmen. Show your school pride. After all, you are paying thousands of dollars to go here. Homecoming is a time to celebrate being a Fighting Illini. When you hear ILL-, remember to scream back -INI!

6. Midterms

Midterms is definitely everyone's favorite part of college. HA. Who am I kidding? MIDTERMS ARE THE WORST!  Everyone's stressed during this time. All you can do is smile through the pain! If you don't get the grade you want, remember: Cs get degrees! at least you tried your best.

7. Halloween

Having a cool costume is a part of the Chambana Culture! College students go all out with their costumes on Halloween. I didn't take Halloween seriously until college. Halloween is honestly another reason for us to throw a party.

No matter how "basic" these trends are, fall is still an amazing season to look forward to!

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.
