Reasons To Be Excited For Fall
Best College Values

As the air gets cooler and September winds to a close, Fall begins! There are so many reasons to be excited for Fall, as it is personally my favorite season. Here is a short list of reasons why I, like many others, am ready for this season!

1. Fall Foliage

What makes going to college in New England unique is the beautiful fall foliage around campus. There are many different hues of yellows, reds, and oranges that bring the campus to life even on a cold and grey day full of exams and papers. I love the trees along the Long Walk as I trek across campus for early morning classes. (And yes, Trinity is ranked #10 for the Most Beautiful Colleges in the Fall)

2. Sweaters

Although we are no longer able to go soak up the sun at the beach, what makes Fall wonderful is being able to raid my closet and pull out a nice large and cozy sweater for the coolest of days. With so many different colors and styles, there is something for everyone's sense of style that can keep everyone warm and happy!

3. Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins!

Whether you like to carve pumpkins or eat different seasonal treats, pumpkins are only able to be truly enjoyed in this short window of the year. From roasted pumpkin seeds, pumpkin muffins and of course the Starbucks pumpkin spice latte, there are many different treats to enjoy.

4. Football

With autumn comes the truly American past-time: football. Breathing in the cool, crisp air while hearing the whistles and gasps of the crowd, theres truly nothing better than spending a day watching the "boys of fall" toss around the old pigskin.

5. Thanksgiving

One of my favorite holidays of the year, Thanksgiving is a time when families both near and far comes together to celebrate. Between watching the classic Thanksgiving football game to running in the annual Turkey Trot, drinking some hot chocolate and sitting around a fire before waiting to feast on turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy is the ultimate way to say goodbye to fall and prepare for the cold winter months.

6. Apple Picking & Apple Cider

Going to an orchard and picking apples is a fun activity for anyone of any age. After picking apples, you can make a wide array of desserts, including my personal favorite, apple pie. Snuggling up after a cool day with a big mug of apple cider and cinnamon is a nice way to unwind and relax after a long day.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
