Unpopular Opinion: I Don’t Like Fall

If you eat and drink everything pumpkin spiced, DO NOT READ.

I am not trying to be a Debbie Downer here, but I, personally, do not look forward to Fall. Of course, I love to watch football games, and my favorite article of clothing BY FAR is a sweatshirt, but this just isn't enough for me to love Fall the way everyone else seems to.

I love coming back to school and apple cider, but Fall represents the end of Summer. My time to relax and lay in the sun is over, and to me, seeing the leaves change a bunch of different colors is, although beautiful, just not worth it. When I see all those "Yeah, Summer is great and all, but what about Fall and all the (blah blah blah)…" tweets, I really want to report their post as spam.

You might think I am dramatic for feeling so strongly about a season, but there are so many things romanticized about Fall that I just can't relate to. Maybe if I liked pumpkin spiced lattes more, I would love the season associated with it. But, when there are holidays like Christmas, and movies like "The Polar Express", it is just sooo hard to get super psyched over Halloween and "The Nightmare Before Christmas". I'll give it to you, Fall, "Hocus Pocus" and the "Halloween Town" movies are good, but I just overall feel like Halloween is overrated when you're older… and this is coming from someone whose favorite food is candy.

Listen, I am not one to judge! If you put pumpkin spiced flavoring (I'm not sure if that's how it works) on your eggs, YOU DO YOU. I am so glad Fall brings you so much joy, but I just will not participate in any celebrations or spooky spells for the cold weather. You will see me in a sweatshirt, watching a football game, drinking hot chocolate, but I will NOT be ecstatic about it. With that being said, if you want to go apple picking, definitely hit me up, I am always down for an adventure (and I love apples)!

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.
