It brings out the best of this season.

Fall In (Love With) Connecticut
Haley Messenger

New England blesses the rest of the United States with its scenery during the Fall. More specifically, the state of Connecticut, has held my heart during this time of year ever since I was born. Every Fall warms my heart not only with Pumpkin Spice Lattes, but with the atmosphere in Connecticut. It is able to satisfy every one of the human senses.

There is so much to see in the beautiful terrains of the state. Any hike, walk or bike ride can bless your body with a multitude of colors. The crisp air feels different than it does outside of the state. The way the trees tower over the streets and sidewalks beats the skyscrapers that do the same in the city. The mountainous horizons blend in with the colorful sunsets that accompany them.

You can hear the rides at festivals as well as the occasional "NEXT!" when you are in line to get some apple cider donuts or a loaded baked potato. However, you can at most times hear nothing, which is very calming and pleasing to someone that only knows the sounds of sirens and trains. There is also a bigger variety of delicious foods to smell and taste during this time of year too. All pumpkin everything.

Connecticut offers some of the best fall themed activities and excursions to bring all of your senses together. For example, you can head to The Haunted Graveyard at Lake Compounce Theme Park in Bristol, the Trail of Terror in Wallingford, or on a lighter note, Lyman Orchards' Corn Maze & Pumpkin Picking in Middlefield. There is even Haunted Mini Golf in Farmington. This state seems to be the most celebratory of the season than any other one. I love Connecticut because it brings out the best of Fall. Outside of it, it just does not feel right. It brings a sense of joy and home. What more could you ask for?

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.
