9 Reasons Why I Am Looking Forward To Fall
Social Power Hour

I love living in an area where I get to experience four different seasons. Each season has its perks, but my favorite season would have to be fall. Here are nine reasons why I am absolutely looking forward to fall:

1. I'm done with this humidity.

I can deal with the heat, but the humidity this summer has been too much for me. I am ready for the fall weather because it is perfect. I won't be sweating profusely, but also won't be freezing.

2. Football games

As much as I love the Little League World Series, I am definitely ready for football. Whether it be Friday night lights, college game day, or NFL Sunday.... football is calling my name.

3. Flannels & Beanies

This would be my apparel all year if I didn't have to deal with the heat- typical hipster!

4. Pumpkin

Pumpkin rolls. Pumpkin pies. Pumpkin whoopee pies. Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Pumpkin Patches. You get it, I love pumpkin!

5. Fall Foliage

One of my favorite things about living in the mountains is watching the leaves change colors.

6. Homecoming

I love going to homecoming and being reunited with all my friends from high school.

7. Holidays

Halloween & Thanksgiving are two of my favorite holidays. Costumes, candy, scary movies, hayrides, haunted houses, turkey, mashed potatoes, Black Friday... I'm excited!

8. Brisk air

I am ready to wake up and go out the door into the brisk cool air. I love going on walks outside when it is chilly!

9. Cuddling

Brisk cold nights = cuddling! Yes, I am aware that you can cuddle all year round, but who wants to cuddle when it's 100 degrees outside? Not me!

I know there is still a whole month left of summer, but fall, please hurry up!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
