It is finally September, which means the weather is starting to get cooler and the familiar colors of red, orange and gold are beginning to creep their way into our seasonal lives. It is basically fall, even if the calendar says Autumn begins on the 22nd. Here's a short list of my favorite fall things.

Pumpkin everything

While I am an avid supporter of the famous Pumpkin Spice Latte, I know it can still be super hot during September so on summer-like days I substitute the tasty drink with a pumpkin spice frappuccino. I also have a Bath and Body Works wallflower scent plug-in to make my room and workspace smell like pumpkins all the time.

Watching my favorite holiday TV specials

This has been a sort of personal tradition of mine since early high school days. Once Halloween or Thanksgiving rolls around I make an effort to watch the seasonal episodes of my favorite shows, mostly "Boy Meets World" and "How I Met Your Mother." I once could almost recite one of the "Boy Meets World" episodes word-for-word because I watched it so much.

College football games

I definitely love my school, and our football team is a big part of that. The way Saturday's in the fall make campus feel like a completely different place is such a bizarre and wonderful feeling. Even just watching the games on TV at home or at Buffalo Wild Wings, it is always a great time, especially since the team is always good.

Preparing for Halloween candy

One of my favorite things about Halloween candy is seeing "normal" candy bars being turned into Halloween versions of themselves. For example, Reese's shaped as ghosts or Kit Kats being colored orange. Somehow I think these changes make them taste better like the secret ingredient is Halloween magic or something.

Staying indoors

While the changing colors of the leaves outside is a beautiful sight, there is nothing quite like the feeling of being indoors on a cold rainy day with a warm beverage and a book or movie for entertainment. These are also great opportunities for friends to share scary stories as I have found in past experiences.

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.
