Autumn In New England Isn't What You'd Really Expect It To Be

It lasts about a week and them bam, it's already snowing.

A cool crisp breeze fills the air along with the smell of pumpkins. Leaves falling from every branch, filling the sky full of large brown and orange snowflakes- well that's what you'd expect to see in a movie based in Boston. But in reality, it's nothing like that.

The past few years my favorite season, autumn, has been treated as if it truly doesn't exist. Fall should consist of the perfect weather, cool but not cold. But more importantly, finally not 110% humidity every day. But for the last couple of years it goes from SUMMER to fall to WINTER, like autumn lasts, maybe, a week and then BAM it's snowing, and you then wish it was those 90-degree days that you were whining about not even two months ago.

Nevertheless, Autumn is still my favorite season. My wardrobe begins to expand, sweaters are now socially acceptable to wear again. Wearing jeans, or any other long pants and not dying of the heat is a blessing you forget about after May.

Halloween is also my favorite holiday, the fact that you can dress up in about anything and people are okay with is such an amazing concept. Figuring out what you want to be and figuring out how you're going to execute the costume is half of the fun. The other half is trying act as if you are that person or character at parties of simply walking the streets with your friends.

Autumn is the best, it's the time of the year when hot beverages come back, like a nice hot apple cider, or a cup of hot chocolate while cuddled up in blankets or decorating the house with bats, skeletons and witches, all while watching horror film after horror film, until it's time for bed (and you have to watch something funny so you don't scare yourself to death when you turn off the lights to sleep).

I couldn't ask for anything else, except for the weather to be how it is in the movies. But if the weather is the only thing I complained about, would I be from New England? Probably not.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
