Five Reasons To Love Fall

There are so many reasons to love fall. From the weather and fun activities to just being able to wear a sweatshirt again, this season provides a lot of opportunities. Here are some of my favorite things about fall:

1. Leaves changing color.

The leaves changing color is my favorite aspect of the fall season. Being able to go outside or drive on a road surrounded by trees in the fall time is the best. The variation in the colors of leaves makes everything seem more scenic and special. It is also a good reminder of the beauty of nature. For me, all of the different hues of green, yellow, red and brown remind me to look up more and really appreciate my surroundings.

2. Sweaters and sweatshirts.

I love my fall wardrobe. Being able to wear jeans, sweaters, sweatshirts and boots is another one of my favorite parts about fall. If you like fashion and clothes then you understand what I'm saying. Being able to layer pieces can make your outfit look more put together even if you didn't put that much thought or effort into it. During the spring and summer, this isn't really an option. You wear more minimal clothes because it's warmer and I think this limits how well your outfits can look. Being able to layer clothing or just add a jacket to an outfit can really transform a look, that's why I always look forward to fall. I can finally wear my sweaters, vests, boots, jeans and even a scarf and still not be hot. The wide range of outfit options during the fall is definitely my second favorite part of the season.

3. It's not completely freezing yet.

Fall is the perfect sweet spot between the weather being not too hot and not too cold. If you have a job in which in you're outdoors a lot, I would think this would be nice. I know from walking outside from class to class, it's nice being able to walk while feeling not too cold but also not sweating either. Fall weather is just all around perfect if you ask me. Also, you should try to enjoy it because, unfortunately, it can be short lived before the freezing, cold weather of winter comes.

4. Fun fall themed activities.

The fall season also brings ample fun activities. From going to a pumpkin patch with family or friends, visiting an apple orchard, carving pumpkins and dressing up for Halloween, to even decorating your house for the season, the possibilities are endless. With the perfect weather and the scenic beauty of nature, it makes going outdoors for fun activities that much more enjoyable. Fall is a great time to go outside and enjoy doing things with friends and family.

5. A time for reflection.

With all of the fun activities, great weather and the beautiful colors of the leaves, it is also a reminder that the year is ending. Once fall arrives you know that just leaves winter then Christmas then you're celebrating New Years, it all seems to go by so fast. Fall always reminds me of this, that somehow another year has flew by and is quickly coming to an end. This isn't a bad thing by any means but it is still surprising to me. Time will just pass you by unless you take a step back to realize how much time has really passed, like almost an entire year. This is why I think fall is a good time to reflect. It serves as a reminder that the year is ending and might prompt you to think about everything you have done within that year. I like to think about any accomplishments I've made, compare myself from the beginning of the year to now and so on. If you want a more in depth analysis of reflection during the fall, I recommend reading "What It Means To Embrace Fall". I wrote it about a year ago and it provides more of a metaphorical meaning of fall.

I hope you agree with my reasons for enjoying fall-time. With the seasons changing, it always provides a sense of a fresh start or the want to try new things. There is so much beauty in nature it can almost feel inspiring, you just have to be willing to look up.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
