The fall is the most wonderful time of the year. How could it not be? The warm colors, falling leaves, sweater weather and the pumpkin… On second thought, not so much of the pumpkin. There’s too many pumpkin flavored things, which can become annoying. But like any other city, Philly hosts some amazing events every season. Especially during the fall. Here are some of the upcoming events that the city of brotherly love has to offer.

1. Autumn's Colors at Longwood Gardens

(October 10- November 10)

    If you enjoy the fall as much as I do and want to witness nature's beauty, go to the Autumn Colors at Longwood Gardens. Each year they celebrate the fall's harvest by displaying a festive landscape filled with vibrant color

2. Chrysanthemums Festival at Longwood Gardens

(October 22nd-November 20th)


    If you can't make it to the Autumn Colors, Longwood also celebrates the fall through the Chrysanthemum Festival, where there are 20,000 chrysanthemums arranged beautifully along the landscape.


3. Namasdrake

    (September 24th)
    If you're a huge fan of Drake, well guess what? There is a yoga class based on Drake's music coming to Philly soon! Two DJs created Namasdrake, which consists of an hour session of yoga poses carefully chosen to a playlist of Drake songs. If you would like to try out, check out PhillyVoice for more information.

4. Spruce Street Harbor Park Fall Fest

    (September 16th)
    Looking for a random festival to take your family to or a friend? Try the Spruce Street Harbor Park Fall Festival. The park will be decorated in autumn decorations. Its for all ages, except for the drinking part! For more information, go to the Delaware River Front site.

5. Terror Behind the walls at Eastern State Penitentiary

(September 16th-November 5th)

If you have a need for adrenaline and fear and screams, check out the Eastern State Penitentiary, America's first official prison. But ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK! If you're not into the haunted attraction, then try going during the day and learn about the history. Al Capone didn't become famous for nothing in this prison.

6. The Count’s Halloween Spooktacular

(September 24th-October 30th)

Have little children you want to take on an adventure? Try Sesame Place where Count Dracula is having a Halloween Spooktacular!

7. Philly’s Cheesesteak & Food Fest 2016

(October 15th)

If you're a food fanatic like I am, then this is the event for you. The Philly Cheesesteak & Food Festival! What's better than a Philly cheesesteak and exploring some of the city's best food?

8. Harry Potter Festival

(October 21st-22nd)

Last, but not least is the Harry Potter Festival! For all of you Potterheads, get ready because Chestnut Hill College is transforming into Hogwarts and we're all invited!! Potterheads of all ages are welcomed, however, you must be of age when it comes to the bar crawl!

If anything, you should totally enjoy these events. I will definitely be going to the Harry Potter event because of my Potterhead status. Let me know how it goes!

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.
