Make Fall Great Again

Winter can wait.

Make Fall Great Again

I'm an avid Twitter person. Am I on it a little more than I should be? Yeah, probably. I also don't get mad very often. But this is a very serious issue that needs to be addressed.

As I scroll through my Twitter newsfeed, I see so many people already tweeting about how they want to start listening to Christmas music and are ready for it to snow. Let's pump the brakes for a second. IT'S NOT EVEN HALLOWEEN YET. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas as much as the next person. It's probably my favorite holiday, outside summer vacation (yes, I now that's not an actual holiday). But I can wait for the snow. It's like we go from summer into winter, completely forgetting about fall.

What happened to everyone getting all geeked out about pumpkin spice lattes, apple orchards, and football? What happened to the excitement of going door to door asking strangers for candy? Halloween is literally the only day that is socially acceptable. What happened to carving pumpkins and roasting the pumpkin seeds? Oh yeah, it died when we all decided to only do it for the "gram" and not just because it was fun.

What about Thanksgiving? Did we forget about that too? Y'all are too busy worrying about the "great Black Friday deals" you think you're getting, you forgot about spending time with your family eating way too much food. Just thinking about the turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, sweet potatoes, mac 'n' cheese, and you can't forget the great American apple pie, makes my mouth water.

Not to mention the fact that Black Friday is no longer on Friday. It starts at like 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. This is asinine. Do people no longer enjoy watching Thanksgiving Day football anymore? I, for one, love it even if the Lions lose. But I digress.

Forgive me if I seem a little harsh, but the fact of the matter is that Christmas can wait. Fall is about the leaves changing, pumpkin spice lattes, puffy sweaters, apple orchards, Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin, and football. Let fall have its time, Christmas will be here soon enough and then we can complain all about the snow and ice, and how we wish it was summer again.

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.
