Fall, where you at?

When it's 80 degrees at the end of September in the Midwest

Pumpkin patches, scarves, hot lattes, beanies, hay rides, sweaters, and more. Fall is every basic girl's favorite season, and for good reason. The crisp air and and cozy outfits fill my heart with joy. Every year I count down the days until September and I look forward to the moment the leaves start to turn those beautiful shades of orange and red. This year, Mother Nature must not have gotten the memo. These 90 degree days in the middle of September are getting old and you might be wondering if the Midwest is going to skip fall altogether this year. So, if you're ready for 60 degree days and bonfire nights, you've probably already done these things- maybe even weeks ago.


1. You've already lit your fall candles

My roommate and I busted out our fall scents a couple weeks ago. Bring on the cinnamon spice, cozy cabin, pine forest, pumpkin harvest, and more. Our apartment smells like a pumpkin patch mixed with baked goods and I couldn't be more happy. You could even say it's #lit

2. Your closet is filled with your fall wardrobe and it's begging to be worn

You already have your scarves, sweaters, riding boots, vests, and beanies on standby waiting to be worn. However, you don't dare wear them yet, because even though it might be 60 when you wake up, you'll be sweating your booty off by noon. Don't worry though, you're already prepared for when the weather decides to make up it's mind and actually commit to being fall.

3. Your house/apartment is already decorated and looks like a Pinterest board threw up on it

You already have your fall wreath on your door and those cute little white pumpkins on your coffee table. You decorated weeks ago in the hopes that the weather outside would get on board and that the temperatures would start dropping.

4. Ordered a PSL from Starbucks

Whether it's the original pumpkin spice latte or that salted caramel whatever-they-call it, the fall menu at Starbs is your fav and you probably went there the day it rolled out and order a grande....or four.

5. You keep checking the weather app

Whenever you've been looking forward to fall for weeks, but you still sweat whenever you walk outside because apparently it's still the middle of July outside, you keep checking the weather app to see when you will finally be able ditch your short sleeve tops. Don't worry though, eventually the temps will hit the 60's and all of us fall lovers will be jumping for joy.

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.
