11 Reasons Why Fall Sucks

It's not actually the best season out there

I have never understood everyone's obsession with fall. I understand that finally getting to wear flannels again and pumpkin spice everything may be great, but there are a lot of things that pertain to fall that in my opinion, do not make it the greatest season of them all.


1. The weather.

Can somebody please explain to me what's so great about waking up in 30-degree weather and going to class in a sweater, but then sweating your butt off as soon as you get out of class because it's now 70 degrees?


2. Also the wind.

Not only does it make the real feel way colder than the actual temperature, but strong enough gusts ensure that the hair your spent an hour curling will look like a hot mess by the time you get to where you are going.


3. Chapped lips.

Because no matter how much Chapstick you apply, your lips always seem to be cracked.


4. Ugly trees.

Once all of the pretty leaves fall off, all that is left is bare branches that all seem to be the same shade of gray.


5. Bagging leaves.

The leaves on the ground may be Instagram perfect, but at some point you have to rake them all together and bag them for multiple afternoons so that they do not kill your grass.


6. Nosebleeds.

Nothing says winter is around the corner like constant nosebleeds occurring as the temperature and amount of moisture in the air changes.


7. School starts.

The start of fall means the death of summer, which also means having to go back to school.


8. Pumpkin everything.

When everything tastes like pumpkins, by the time pumpkins actually come out you're already tired of them.


9. Shorter days.

The sun starts to go down a lot sooner, tricking you into thinking its later than it actually is and leaving you with less daylight to do things outdoor.


10. Halloween stress.

No matter how much time you spent thinking of what costume you are going to wear, after Halloween passes and you look back on the pictures you think to yourself "why didn't I think of something better".


11. Black Friday.

It's all fun and games until you have to work it.


So congratulations. Summer is dead and winter is around the corner. Better get to reorganizing your closet.

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.
