Nothing Like The Fall In Maryland

Sometimes, you blink and you miss it.

Nothing Like The Fall In Maryland

Some say fall is their favorite time of the year. With the leaves slowly changing colors, and the weather slowly transitioning to sweatshirt or sweater weather. The time of the year where you can put the shorts away for good, and finally break out the jeans and sweaters.

It's the perfect time of the year, Where you don't have to worry about being too hot or too cold. It's the weather you can wear a sweatshirt and jeans, and be just fine.
While Fall is my favorite season, in the great state of Maryland, it seems as if the entire season of fall occurred over the course of 2 weeks.

It seems like only last week it was 90 degrees and boiling hot. I couldn't walk to class without not sweating. I wast trying to figure out if the air conditioning would be too cold in the buildings, and that was my biggest challenge. At least, weather wise, it was.

Now I wake up in the morning and I check my weather app and it says 40 degrees, and part of my mind is telling me to wear a coat, rather than just a sweatshirt. Where did our transition go? I feel like this weather change my have happened overnight.

Now, I may be from bitter cold New England, but going from 90 degrees one day to 45 in the morning two days later is quite a drastic change. Even a New Englander wouldn't be used to this weather change.

It may be the beginning of a stereotypical fall here. With the leaves are starting to change over this week, and I will enjoy every moment of it. From putting my hammock up in the middle of the quad and doing homework, to just enjoying my walks to and from class, I will love every moment. In the meantime, I'll be praying for the winter to fault and have it take it's sweet time getting here.

But knowing that in two weeks we will be heading into another drastic change in temperature is really killer.

But for now, I will watch the leaves change, and pray for some nice cool normal fall weather. And leave the jacket behind, at least for the next two weeks I will.

Happy Fall Maryland, Please stop raining.

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.
