Falling Into Fall

Falling Into Fall
Sarah Carstensen

Fall is finally in the air! Well this is West Texas, so who knows what the weather will be like next week. Anyway, it is September and that makes it officially time to start enjoying everything fall has to offer.

The season of fall is my favorite season. To me, every aspect is beautiful. The colors of all the leaves changing and falling delicately on the lawns and driveways, only to be raked up in a large pile on the front lawn, just moments later.

The colors of harvest mix so well together. The talk of farmers getting their crops ready for harvest only stirs my heart with love for the area I have grown up in. The sight of tractors in the field fill my heart with thankfulness.

The crisp morning air fills my lungs with joy and puts an extra touch of rosiness on everyone’s cheeks. I am able to wipe the summer dust off my riding boots and pull out all my cute sweaters. I mean a huge perk about fall weather is to cute clothes we get to wear! Am I right? Scarfs, headband warmers and matching gloves you name it, I have it pulled out and ready to go!

The smell of pumpkin everything is in the air. Pumpkin spice cake, pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin spice Scentsy, etc. Hot chocolate gets thrown into the mix, along with blankets and fires on a brisk evening.

With all this time of changing out Patriotic/summer decor to fall decor, I am reminded of my Savior’s talent in artwork. His ability to paint a West Texas fall sunset never ceases to amaze me. The colors are picked so precisely designed for a perfect painting.

In this season of Thanksgiving, I am thankful for many, many things; but one thing is for certain. I am thankful for my King. The King of all Kings. The King who has blessed me daily, through the sights of fall and His artistic ability. Remember that in this season of fall. Look for the little details that our Father has made for us. Find joy in His artwork.

Happy Fall y’all!

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
