13 Reasons Why Florida Does Fall Best

Halloween Horror Nights will be LIT on Friday the 13th.

13 Reasons Why Florida Does Fall Best

Fall la la la la, la la la la. Way down south in Florida, we sing with joy when Fall approaches. The sweltering heat turns into a bearable stickiness. The aroma of cinnamon brings comfort and joy to the heart. We can finally light up a campfire and make S'mores without getting (too badly) eaten alive by mosquitoes. If you're spending your autumn in Orlando, here's a list of things you can look forward to.

1. Tailgate season

Saturdays wouldn't be for the boys if it wasn't for football season. Win or lose.. GO KNIGHTS AND GO GATORS!

2. Hoodiezzz

The temperature drops to like 70-something degrees, which makes it totally acceptable to rock a hoodie.

3. Flannel season

You can find a flannel in almost every store window, making it easy to find one that suits your style. Most likely you'll see guys wearing flannels and Sperry's, and girls wearing flannels with cut off shorts (guilty).

4. Hurricane season is ending

We can actually roam the streets without fear of an imminent torrential downpour.

5. Tourists go home

6. Perfect beach weather

We work our a***s off throughout the summer so that we can finally see the sun when it won't melt us. No complaints here; we get to have fun while everyone else freezes.

7. Halloween Horror Nights

We spend 10 months out of our year prepping for Halloween because Universal has given us such high expectations. NO ONE does horror like Universal. We're blessed that Friday the 13th falls in October this year, so HHN should be LIT.

8. Fall festival

The fall fest is the perfect place for a cheap first date, or otherwise the place you go to learn you can no longer handle an hour straight of spinning rides. Nonetheless, it's worth it to do once if only for the fried food.

9. EDC

Way more epic than a fall festival is the Electric Daisy Carnival music festival that takes place in Orlando every November. Rain or shine, you can enjoy a weekend of epic lights and music.

10. Costume parties

It's not uncommon to have several Halloween parties to attend the entire month of October and even into November. Time to test out your DIY costume skills in the hopes that Katie down the hall doesn't have the same idea.

11. PUMPKIN

You can find pumpkin in every recipe, whether or not it should constitute as food. There's always that one person that takes it too far...

12. Thanksgiving

As in thanks for giving me a food coma. No shame: more pumpkin please!

13. The fact that winter is coming

In Florida, the party doesn't stop. Fall is the time to celebrate that winter will bring more festivities, and most importantly, more beach weather! I don't blame snowbirds for wanting to winter in Florida. Honestly, who wouldn't?

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.
