Farewell Summer, Hello Fall

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." - Albert Camus

Farewell Summer, Hello Fall

As summer comes to an end, I know we all find ourselves looking for something to look forward to next. Although summer is my favorite season, fall is definitely a close second, and I can't wait for some of the activities fall has to offer. 


1. Pumpkin

Not everyone loves pumpkin, but it's something that is so unique to fall. Whether you're having a pumpkin latte, a pumpkin muffin, or anything else flavored with the orange treat, pumpkin is always a good decision.

2. Fall Scented Candles

You know I'll be lining up at the doors of Yankee Candle and Bath and Body Works for those fall scented candles. Apple, cinnamon, marshmallow, coffee, and more; those are all smells I want in my apartment.

3. Changing Leaves

The drives to and from school in the fall are my favorite ones, because the views are incredible. Watching red, orange, and yellow trees lining the turnpike makes for an extremely pleasant and calming drive.

4. Bonfires

Even though bonfires are a summer thing as well, there's nothing like sitting by the fire with a cozy sweatshirt on and a cup of hot chocolate.

5. Holidays

First it's Halloween, then Thanksgiving. The fall holidays are some of the best. Halloween is full of friends, costumes, candy, and decorations, and Thanksgiving is a time for the three f's: family, friends, and food.

6. Fall Clothes

Fall clothes are the best clothes. Boots, sweaters, scarves, fuzzy socks, and more. I get so excited each year to shop for and wear fall clothes, and see what everyone else is wearing too.

7. Darker Nail Polishes and Lipsticks

All of the fall colors are coming out now, from plums to dark reds. The deeper colors match the cozy feeling of fall, and I can't wait for those colors to change.

8. Apple and Pumpkin Picking

I have a tradition with my mom each year where she comes up to school so we can go apple picking together and I always really look forward to it. You can make so many things with apples, or you can just eat them alone. Pumpkin picking is such a fun thing to do with friends and take pictures doing. I can't wait to put pumpkins around the apartment this fall.


Fall is such a great time of the year, and I can't wait to spend it with friends at school and with family at home as well. Fall is one of the coziest, tastiest, and most fun seasons. Enjoy the last few weeks of summer, but don't be sad that it's ending, because there is so much to look forward to as fall begins. I wish everyone a wonderful end of summer, and I hope that I gave you some excitement for the months of fall to come.

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.
