My Favorite Things About Fall

very season has its good qualities and its... less good qualities. For instance, in summer you get sunny weather and swimming and no school, but you also get unbelievably hot temperatures (hello, global warming), an irritatingly large mosquito population, and bees. But now we've moved past the summer and we're heading straight into fall. Now, personally, winter is my favorite season because I love cold weather and I love snow and I love Christmas, and well I could go on and on, but fall is my next favorite season. So here are some of my favorite things about fall.

1. All of the pumpkin things

Pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins. Pumpkin bread, pumpkin candles, and yeah I guess for those of you who drink coffee pumpkin spice lattes. I'm trying my first one tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes.

2. Colder weather/Sweater weather

I LOVE wearing sweaters and cardigans, boots and socks, hats and scarves. It's the best, and cold weather can be fun if you just give it a chance.

3. Turning of the leaves' color

The colors that emerge during Autumn are truly amazing! You get such rich and deep colors all around you, sometimes in the trees still and sometimes already fallen onto the ground.

4. Halloween

Who doesn't love some candy? There's also some other really fun stuff about Halloween like dressing up like your favorite TV/Book/Movie character or what have you. Even just the classic ghost look works, just ask our friend below, Charlie Brown.

5. Carving Pumpkins

Carving pumpkins is an art-form. It's also super fun, and you just feel so proud of it when it's done. Go big or go home guys, you gotta commit to the creation.

6. Thanksgiving food

There's always lots to be thankful for, especially at Thanksgiving... like all the delicious food that you can only get at your Thanksgiving meal.

7. Drinking hot drinks again

Hot drinks are obviously ok to drink whenever you want, but there's something about cupping a hot chocolate between your two cold hands while your walking to class that just makes you a little happy that it's colder outside now.

8. Back to school vibe

It's a bummer when summer ends, and you know you're gonna have to go back to school and work super hard and do all of these things, but it gets better when you think of all the friends that you get to go back and see for another year, who support you and go through the stresses of school with you, together.

9. Watching other people watch (and freak out over) football

I've never like football, but I put up with it because it seems to be an essential functioning of fall for not only my family, but everyone else's families too. In all honesty, watching other people freak out over football is much more entertaining to me than watching three hours of football itself.

10. Caramel apples (or just Caramel in general)

Caramel apples are delicious because they have caramel and they have apple. I personally love to actually have an apple cut up and dip it in caramel. And also it is pronounced CAR-MUHL not care-a-mel. I don't mean to start a fight or anything, but... moving on.

11. Hay rides/Corn mazes

These are so much fun and a part of the spirit of fall. Just make sure you wear long pants (which you should be doing anyway, because it's cold).

Who doesn't love a good corn maze? I once went into a corn maze that even had a map included and I still got lost.

12. "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!"

This is a classic movie. Anything Charlie Brown is classic and loveable. He goes trick or treating in a ghost costume that he cut like a dozen eye holes for- come on! That's funny. But anyone who legitimately gives rocks to children instead of candy on Halloween needs some help. That's messed up.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
