The leaves are changing, the weather is getting colder, and every other person you know is posting pictures of their #pumpkinspicelatte, all these indicate fall is FINALLY here. After 94 days of a sweltering summer, 29% of Americans are relieved that their favorite season has arrived. So what exactly makes Autumn Americas most preferred time of the year

Oh, how we have missed you!

1. Colder Weather Brings Changing Leaves

The Greens Change to an Abundance of Colors

When talking about Fall the first thing people will comment on is the beautiful foliage that comes with the cold weather. Walks become easier because you are no longer sweating, and the sights become much more interesting. The leaves change daily and fall to the ground, creating natures own playpen!

2. Sweaters and Warm Clothes

Even Superheroes Bundle Up

Fall style; sweaters, layers, hats and mittens, scarfs and tall boots. It's the season of keeping warm and cozy while still having fun.

3. Cuddle Time

It's Cuddle Weather for Everyone

One of my favorite things about fall is that with the cold weather comes good snuggle season. It is the time of soft blankets and cuddling. Curl up with your favorite person, a good movie and a hot cup of tea and enjoy the season.

4. Seasonal Delicacies

Curl Up With a Cup of Jo

With Autumn comes delicious warm goodies; pies, soups, and lattes. The colder weather makes us all want to find something yummy to eat. It is the season of comfort food.

5. Apple Picking


A great family activity! Not only do you get to go to an orchard and see bright red apples all around you, you also get fresh apple goodies when you get home!

6. Pumpkin Carving

Many families use pumpkin carving as a tradition. Some towns even have competitions for who has the best pumpkin carving abilities. What once was a repellent of evil spirits is now used as seasonal decoration. And who can forget baked pumpkin seeds!

7. Halloween

Trick or Treat!

We all love to have a reason to dress up and eat candy. This holiday is beloved by people of all ages. This spooky aspect to Fall is a major reason why people love it. What other holiday allows you to dress up as your favorite horror movie character, and go to door begging for candy!

8. Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

This holiday brings everyone together, aunts, uncles, grandmother, and a couple of cousins you didn't even know you had. For some people, this may be the only time they see their loved ones throughout the year. We gather together with good food and great company to celebrate Thanksgiving.

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.
