What Fall Food You Are Based On Your College Major
Jakob Owens

Happy fall, everyone! One of the best things about fall is the food.

Your local coffee shops and restaurants are breaking out the classics. It's time to get on board with the holiday season and indulge in your favorite fall food. While college students are currently drowning in mid-terms, just remember it's almost time to sit back relax and have a nice fall break.

During your break, you should also enjoy the fall food based on your major.

1. Math and Engineering - Pumpkin Pie

Ah, yes, pumpkin pie. This delicious treat that you either love or hate but have to experience at least once in your life. Even if you don't like it, it will keep showing up at your thanksgiving table every year because someone decided to buy one at Costco and bring it. Pie is also more than just a tasty dessert. It's also 3.14159... Pie is practically a lifestyle for these majors.

2. English/Journalism - Pumpkin Spice Lattes

I'm not saying writing majors are basic, but we kind of are. We enjoy the simple fall things in life, like sitting in a coffee shop or a library and sipping on a coffee. We like to have coffee while we write or read or converse with our other literary majors. We are also warm and fuzzy people who like to document our thoughts and feelings through multiple platforms.

3. Communications- Apple Cobbler

Communications majors are a little bit of everything but they come together to create one yummy product. They can write, they can speak, they can work with people of all group sizes and that's just the beginning. Sugar, spice and apples baked together to create the ultimate job candidate.

4. Education - Carmel Apples

Besides the obvious symbolism, future teachers are more than just average apples. They are people who are dedicating their lives to educating our next generation and that's pretty cool. Carmel apples also can be simple or complex, depending on the type of teacher someone aspires to be. The apples covered in candy coating are aspiring grade school teachers ready to fill their classroom with bright colors and knowledge. The plain apples are ready to teach college, simple and to the point, but still so delicious.

5. Health/Biology/Sports Medicine/PT - Brussel Sprouts

You know that Pumpkin Spice syrup is probably cancer and a maple scone is not the best breakfast option. You're smart, healthy but never boring. Brussel sprouts can be made in hundreds of different ways but their health benefits are exactly what we all need this season. You go healthy people! We need more people like you in our lives.

6. Philosophy/Psychology/Sociology- Sweet Potato Casserole

Sweet potato casserole needs to be questioned and you're the person ready to ask those questions. Are you a side dish or a dessert? Why are you a side dish if you have marshmallows on you? How does this dish make you feel? What are the origins of the sweet potato casserole?

7. Pre-Business/Pre-Law/Marketing - Green Bean Casserole

Green bean casserole isn't really that healthy, but you're here to convince us otherwise. Yes, family, this is a vegetable. You have a powerpoint presentation, handwritten proposal and a case file ready to go at all times. You know who you are and you know what you can do, the world just isn't ready.

8. Nursing Majors/Pre-Med - Pumpkin Seeds

Let's be honest, by this point in the year, you're pretty burnt out. You've been through a lot, but you're still tasty. You are the anatomy of the pumpkin and that's pretty special. Pumpkin seeds often come across are boring but you know your worth. Other pumpkin foods wouldn't exist without you.

9. Theater/Music/Acting/Art - Turkey

You're the star of the show. Some people wait all year for you. Some people are haters and try to change you, but you know that you will always be the center of attention this fall season.

10. Computer Science/Computer Programming/Graphic Design- Pumpkin Cobbler Cookies

You're the future. You are prepackaged fall goodness. You are going to make our lives easier and more efficient. People don't give you enough credit for your awesomeness.

11. History - Squash

Squash was actually at the first Thanksgiving, unlike this other modern stuff. You keep it real. You know what's good. You're the OG of fall foods.

12. Justice Studies/Government- Mashed Potatoes

You know what's up. You know how to make the perfect mashed potatoes. You don't need anything fancy or innovative. You know exactly who you are and you can make adjustments accordingly based on popular opinion. You are more complex than people give you credit for, but you don't need their approval to be your awesome self.

Cheers and happy fall everyone!

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.
