Forget Winter, When Is Fall Coming?

This heat has got to end!

Forget Winter, When Is Fall Coming?

When September finally came everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief because it meant one thing: fall was coming. Fall is such a beautiful season because it is the best of both weathers; it's warm enough that you can wear a T-shirt or thin long sleeve shirt but it's cool enough that you won't break out into a sweat as soon as you leave your house. We were all excited for fall weather and yet, two weeks into the month, the weather has not changed. Instead of seeing the leaves change on the tree, we all are scrambling to blast our AC units as high as possible, so we do not melt into human sized puddles.

When you go outside the air still feels like you're on the surface of the sun. People are still wearing shorts and tank tops like we're in the middle of July. Two days ago I was invited to go tanning in the park! This weather madness is making me think that fall is never going to come this year. We will be watching football in the pool. Hot chocolate will be replaced with iced coffee. Instead of apple picking we will be tanning and eating ice cream! All of the amazing aspects of fall will be pushed back due to a summer that never wants to end.

It may seem like I don't like summer and I want to set the record straight: I do not. There are cool aspects of summer; school is out is session and it's acceptable to not wear pants anywhere. However, in my eyes, the bad outweighs the good. Whenever you go outside you are immediately soaked in sweat. Say goodbye to any cute outfit or makeup idea you have; the heat will automatically ruin it. Not to mention that summer brings out all of the scary bugs; bugs that will bite you and leave red, itchy marks for weeks. I may be in the minority on this but summer is the worst season.

Fall, wherever you are, know that there are many people waiting for you to come. People who want to wear cozy sweaters and drink apple cider. People who want to jump into piles of leaves and celebrate Halloween without feeling like they are walking through the gates of hell. Please come soon, fall, I'm begging you!

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
