September 22nd marks the start of the best season of the year. There are so many things I love about fall, so instead of keeping them all to myself, I decided to share the wealth! Here's my list of 22 things to look forward to in the fall!

1. Autumn Leaves

There is no sight more beautiful than this. The leaves are as vibrant as ever- yellows, reds, oranges. And the way they crunch beneath your feet... Priceless.

2. Crisp Air

Every season has its down distinct air quality, but as you can see from this puppy, nothing beats the cool breeze that fall brings.

3. Apples

4. Pumpkin Spice Lattes


Maybe this one is a little premature considering Starbucks starts serving them in August... Whatever, they're still good!

5. Pillsbury Sugar Cookies

You'd be lying if you said you didn't look forward to these... And the best part about it them is that they taste just as good uncooked.

Disclaimer: Eat raw cookie dough at your own risk.

6. Sweaters

Pretty self-explanatory.

7. Leg Warmers & Boots

Feeling comfortable AND looking cute? WIN. Thanks, fall.

8. Scarves

Pro tip: Scarves are for wearing, not for eating. Please don't choke on your scarf. Love, Alyssa.

9. Hot Apple Cider

Let's get this straight. There IS a difference. Hot apple cider is waaaay better than apple juice. And much more characteristic of the fall season.

10. Football Games

(Coming from someone who doesn't even fully understand the sport).

11. Apple Cider Donuts

Three words. Apple cider donuts. The end.

12. Halloween

13. Haunted Houses

Because who doesn't love paying money to get scared?!?

14. Halloween Movie Marathons

You would also be lying if you said you weren't a fan of Hocus Pocus or Halloweentown.

15. Thanksgiving

Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce... Is your mouth watering yet?

16. Pie


Did someone say pie?!?!?

17. Carving Pumpkins

Yeah, the process may be a little nauseating but when its done you'll be just as excited as this dancing pumpkin man.

18. Caramel Apples


19. Candles

What better way to spend your hard earned money than on something you're going to light on fire and watch burn?

20. Bonfires

Wow. I can feel the warmth already. Or maybe that's just my laptop overheating...

21. Horror Movies

Horror movies are great as long as you don't watch them alone at night. Then they've done their job.

22. Black Friday

Waking up early (or camping out overnight if you choose) so you can spend money on marked down material items? Count me in!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
