Best things About Fall
Chinese Medicine and Fall

We're back to school and slowing falling back into a routine for the semester. September is quickly passing us, and everything is falling into place. One thing we are missing though, is fall weather! Don't get me wrong, I love summer and the pool and being tan, but something about being back on campus just makes me want to do all things fall.

For starters, I'm sick of walking to class in 90 degree weather. Shorts and tanks were cute for the summer but I'm beyond ready for jeans, flannels and cute boots. I get sick of my wardrobe easily and it's definitely time for that fall transition. I want cute ponchos, big sweat shirts and legging weather. I always tend to jump the gun and try to dress in fall clothes, and I end up sweating on my walk to class, turns out to not be that cute of a look.

I always love wearing black and dark colors in general, so fall is definitely an exciting time for me since it means I won't have to try and wear bright, happy colors like I do in the summer. I also love the fact that I can transition my nail color from bright pinks and blues, to more basic colors like blacks and nudes or oranges and reds.

Beyond cute clothing, I'm ready for chai's, the infamous pumpkin spice latte, and staying inside snuggled up on the couch with a comfy blanket and a scary movie. Bonfires and s'mores are also a huge part of fall and that makes my heart so happy.

Don't forget the smells of fall. One of my favorite parts about fall approaching is walking into Bath and Body Works and being hit with the smell of pumpkin, cinnamon, and apples all rolled into one.

The changing leaves and the scenery that fall brings also make me so excited. it's also when football season starts, and who doesn't love football? Besides that, everything is so Instagram worthy. From the leaves, to your fall flavored drink, down to your #ootd, everything is more instagramable in the fall.

Also the switch over to hot coffee makes me happy. Nothing can't be fixed with a hot cup of coffee or tea to start your morning. Fall also means that Halloween is approaching, and costumes are exciting to start thinking about. Don't forget about cute fall decorations too, they really make the season and get everyone into the fall spirit!

As I'm sitting here writing this article in air conditioning, looking outside at the everlasting 90 degree weather, I'm really hoping fall weather begins to approach. Until then, my boots, PSLs, and flannels will have to wait, while my marshmallow cinnamon candle is already burning.

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.
