If you're like me and are totally adverse to everything pumpkin spice, you'll know how annoying it is to see people get hung up on one thing in the fall. NEWS FLASH: There's more to fall than pumpkin spice such as...

1. Apple Cider Donuts...

An apple cider donut is the HOLY GRAIL of fall foods. As soon as the first day of fall hits, you better believe I'm driving to my local farm and picking up a dozen of these bad boys.

2. ...Apple Cider in General...

Also another yummy apple treat and a staple of a good fall bonfire

3. ...Or just a straight-up apple

Just bypass the donut and the cider all together and go apple picking! This is a timeless activity to do with friends or your bae, just find an orchard and go nuts!

4. Pumpkin Pie

This is my favorite type of pie to eat in the fall. And it's so easy to make! Check out a recipe here: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/nancy-fuller/from-scratch-pumpkin-pie-2251073

5. Squash

My roommate said this one, which I only halfway endorse. However, a good bowl of my mom's butternut squash soup on a cold fall evening is one of the best things on the planet.

6. Pumpkin Seeds

These crunchy things are fantastic as an afternoon snack...or really any time of the day you want to eat them, they're perfect.

7. Pumpkin Bread/Muffins

Another one of my favorite fall baked goods that is super easy to make and yummy to boot! Find a recipe here: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/7958/pumpkin-chocolate-chip-muffins/

8. The entire Thanksgiving dinner

Asking around, it seemed like the best fall food was the entirety of Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey, cranberry sauce, gravy, mashed potatoes, warm rolls salad, green beans, I could go on and on. Point is, Thanksgiving is fantastic and Thanksgiving leftovers are even better.

9. Mac and Cheese

Mac and cheese is acceptable any time of year. Enough said.

10. Sweet potatoes 

Now before you cringe, let me tell you that roasted sweet potatoes with cinnamon, honey, and a touch of rosemary are possibly one of the best things that I've ever eaten. Try them, I promise that you won't regret it.

Remember, you don't have to settle for a PSL this fall season! Break the basic mold and try something new!

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.
