This fall weather got me like:

After the recent heat wave Michigan experienced, I think it is safe to say that we are all welcoming this fall weather with open arms. The sweaters and leggings are finally being broken out, and the auburn leaves are falling. To make this transition into the colder weather easier, here are a few ways to live the fall lifestyle the right way.

1. Cider Mills: 10/10 would recommend, must do, fall classic


For many out-of-staters, cider mills may be a foreign concept. Growing up in Michigan, a cider mill is as common as pumpkin patches and hayrides. This is an absolute must in the fall season. No one can understand the pure joy of a cider mill until you have sat at the festive picnic table and tasted the cinnamon sugar donuts and crisp apple cider. For the chillier days, you can order hot apple cider. Drinking hot apple cider on a fifty degree day surrounded by haystacks and pumpkins is the equivalent of sipping hot chocolate while watching the snow drift outside of your window on Christmas. It is one of those classic seasonal moments.

2. Play in the leaves: leaves are like snowflakes, but for fall


You may be thinking "this is for children" but let me prove you wrong. Go outside, and make a snow angel with the colorful leaves in your lawn and TELL ME you are not enjoying yourself. Make a pile of leaves, take festive pictures in them, or just admire their beauty. No matter how you enjoy the fall leaves, just enjoy them.

3. Hayrides: sit back and enjoy the smell of hay


This is another one of those classic fall activities that is a must if you want to say you fully embraced fall. Whether its a haunted hayride or just a leisure ride through the cider mill, this is always a fun way to sit back and admire the beauty of fall.

4. Pumpkin carving: what even are Halloween decorations without pumpkins??


Pumpkin carving is always a win-win situation. You carve a pumpkin, create a cute decoration for your house, and you get to eat the seeds (if that's your thing). Carved pumpkins is a must for halloween decorating, and a fun way to play with your food.

5. Haunted Houses: proving you're not a wimp, or that you are


If you like scary movies, then you'll love haunted houses. Walking through some of the most infamous haunted houses in Michigan can be like walking through your personal scary movie. An easy way to seek thrills without actually risking your life.

6. Halloween Preparation: so many costumes, so little time

Halloween is one of the biggest holidays of the year at University of Michigan. But really, Halloween lasts a week on campus. This calls for a lot of preparation. I used to get stressed out with only one Halloween costume, now I have to worry about five to seven days of costumes?? Send help.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
