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

In This Article:

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?

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
