Fall, The Season Of Comfort

This is the best season for some of the best reasons.

Fall is an amazing season. It's actually my favorite season for so many reasons. It's the most comfortable season. It has many great things to offer. From seasonal treats to fun events, this season is one to be enjoyed by all.

During this season, there are many treats offered that are not usually available during the rest of the year. Candy apples are a sweet, sticky and enjoyable treat. Obtaining cavities has never been more enjoyable! Candy apples can be found in at local fairs, carnivals and other fall events. You can even make them at home. Unpopular opinion: Candy corn is a pleasant Halloween snack. I used to hate it, but now, I don’t mind it. It's also fun to use them as vampire teeth.

Fall is also sweater weather. As a person who loves wearing hoodies, I find this to be the most comfortable season to do so. It can be a light or heavy sweater. You won’t burn up from a heat stroke. You also don’t have to worry about freezing from not wearing enough layers. Let's not forget the sweater dresses. Because it is also football season, you can always wear that $50 NFL or SEC hoodie you bought. You can also wear “boots with the fur” without having your legs coated in sweat.

Halloween happens during the fall. This holiday is not just about the free candy that people give away. It also means dressing up in costumes. It's also one of the best times to see the neighbors yards decorated with pumpkins, ghosts, and scarecrows. The best Halloween films appear on SyFy and AMC throughout the month. I love horror films, so even if I don’t own them, I can count on AMC to air them. Let’s not forget watching “Nightmare Before Christmas” until December is over.

This is also the season of everything pumpkin. The pumpkin flavor has become a fall favorite. Pumpkin spice chai lattes are amazing. I first tried one during my freshman year of college. Ever since then, I have developed a taste for pumpkin. Another fall treat that I enjoy is pumpkin cider. It tastes like apple cider that contains a nostalgic pumpkin-like flavor. It brings back wonderful fall memories. For some reason, the flavor of pumpkin brings back old memories, and also a feeling of nostalgia. It seems as if with every passing year, there are more pumpkin-flavored foods including oatmeal, cereal, marshmallows and who knows what else.

Fall is also the season that I was born. I was born in the middle of October. Luckily, fall break has fallen right around my birthday every year during college. Because of this twist of fate, I have been able to go home each time. I have always been able to look forward to seeing my family and friends for my birthday. I also look forward to going to “Cruisin’ the Coast.” This event takes place along Highway 90 around Mississippi Gulf Coast. My father has been taking me to this event since I was a little girl. It allows people from different places to showcase their antique vehicles.

Fall is the best season of the year. Another great reason to love fall is that you can take long strolls or drives down the road and see the beautiful colors of the leaves and trees. The weather, clothing, food and events make it an outstanding time of the year to look forward to. It is the one time of the year that I would thoroughly enjoy a walk around town to get into the holiday spirit, which is fall.

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.
