Move Over Summer, Fall Fever Has Arrived

Summer, I’ve got news for you: it’s time for a change. You’ve been working so long and hard these past three months, you’re due for a break. I think I speak for most of the general population when I say we’re ready for something new. The suffocating heat, the blazing sun, the broken AC vents were staples of the season you brought to us, but fall is knocking at your back door. Your departure will be sad, but trust me when I say autumn is one of the best times of the year. Don’t believe me? I get it, it can be hard to accept your replacement, but we’ll be in good hands when fall comes around. You can’t ignore all the amazing things fall has to offer:

1. Take the fact that there are plenty of new fall scents to sniff. From pumpkin spice to cinnamon sugar, the smells are yummy enough to send hunger pains through your stomach.


2. Or that it’s the perfect time for bonfires galore, which mean more s’mores, which basically equals heaven.


3. Not to mention apple picking is the bomb diggity, and those buggers are finally ready to be picked in the cool fall weather.


4. And you can’t forget Halloween with free candy, outrageous decorations, and the best classic Halloween movies. Need I go on?


5. The go-to fall closet makes a comeback: boots, jeans, comfy sweaters, blanket scarves. It’s the most wonderful time of the year (besides Christmas, of course).


6. The most beautiful scenery takes over and you don’t even have to leave. It’s all around you—crisp yellow, red, and orange leaves changing colors is hands down the best part of the season.


7. Drinking hot coffee finally makes sense again. No more hot flashes while trying to choke down the first few steaming sips. Now you can actually enjoy your caffeine addiction!


8. Haunted houses anyone??


9. Time for pumpkin picking and hayrides that go hand in hand.


10. The Thanksgiving countdown begins.


11. It’s the perfect time for snuggling up in fuzzy socks, cozy warm blankets, and curling up fireside.


12. Oh, and the best food/drink combo on earth comes back in action: apple cider and warm pumpkin doughnuts. YUM.

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.
