Fall Is Coming, Here Are 4 Reasons I Won't Apologize For Being Basic

Fall is my favorite time of the year. The temperature isn't too cold yet, and I'm no longer sweating on my way to class. Also, let's not forget it's pumpkin spice season. Fall is home to some of the most fun activities as well. So even though I may be incredibly basic this coming fall, I don't care what you think of me because I'm enjoying myself immensely.

I think we can all agree that one of the best parts about fall is the temperature.

If you live in Indiana, you might not experience true fall weather until "winter" is supposed to be hitting, but when you do get that weather, there's nothing better than curling up in a sweater with a nice mug of apple cider. Also, it's a super big bonus because if you happen to be a science major like me, you don't have to change from shorts to pants before you get to lab :).

… And besides the AMAZING sweater weather, pumpkins are flying out of every direction!

If you're not a huge fan of pumpkin, fall is probably not your favorite season. But you know who has two thumbs and loves pumpkin almost as much as her mom?

Pumpkin muffins, pumpkin chai lattes, pumpkin carving, pumpkin bread. You name it, I will be thoroughly enjoying it (notice that I didn't include pumpkin spice lattes because, unpopular opinion, pumpkin doesn't belong in coffee). Maybe part of the reason I love pumpkin so much is because it also happens to be my body shape, but honestly, I couldn't care less during this season.

Also, let's not forget about all of the cute pictures you can now take with your friends.

Did you say going to an apple orchard and taking pictures with the people I love most while wearing comfy clothes with the added aesthetic of the turning leaves? Uh yes, please. The sorority girl in me is screaming and shouting for joy. If you ever want someone to go do some cute fall activity with you and take pictures, I'm your gal. I will literally drop my pumpkin muffin to join you. I mean, sure, your friends were cute in summer too, but now you can be cute in scarves.

If you love fall and all of its accompaniment as much as I do, you're probably going to get a lot of flak this season. You'll be called a basic white girl before you can even put down your Starbucks cup, but let's face it, you love being basic. Truly, I think fall is the most amazing season no matter how basic I end up being. It's full of vibrant colors, crisp air, and lots of breaks at school that you can spend with your family and friends. So maybe you want to make fun of me for wearing flannel and leggings every day, but I think you're the one who's really missing out. I mean, if you can't beat 'em, why not just join 'em?

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
