Going from cold weather to warm weather down South during Fall is actual torture.

Everyone knows fall is the best time of the year. Leaves changing, apple and pumpkin picking, warm lattes, the cute sweaters and riding boots, and the holidays. Back home, once school started back up and the weather started to change, I knew everything was about to get a whole lot better. At this point in school, you're still getting the hang out this year and getting to know teachers. Therefore, the teachers are easy with you and the school work isn't piled up yet. Plus, the football games every other weekend were the best part of high school and either sitting on the bleachers with your friends or out playing or cheering with your teammates will be your favorite memories for years passed. But all the cute outfits that come with fall are even better! The cute scarves were my favorite trend, but all the booties or riding boots complete each outfit as well (fall will always have the cutest trends).

Also going apple and pumpkin picking are the most fun activities for fall. If your home is anything like Long Island, there are about two million options for farms to go to, but they're all as much fun as the next. In high school, running through the corn maze was still my favorite part of going. Halloween and Thanksgiving hold a special place in my heart with dressing up and all the food, but we all know these two holidays are the runners up for Christmas. Lastly, pumpkin spice EVERYTHING is the best flavor to ever come and every time you go out, we know you plan on grabbing a pumpkin spice latte and pumpkin bread.

When picking a school, it didn't occur to me that I would miss all these fall traditions. It's totally awesome being able to go to the beach year-round and lay out at the pool in-between classes, but September through November are a little difficult. In that case, we should just make our own fall in the warm weather.

We may not be able to go to pumpkin and apple picking, but let's go orange picking? I'm not sure if that's a thing, but I'm sure we can find an orange tree and to pick some off. We can still go to the football games just in shorts and tee shirt and have an awesome tailgate in the nice weather, rather than boots and a sweatshirt and shivering outside. For the cute outfits, we can still do a suede skirt or tied up long sleeve shirt. Lastly, go ahead and get hot pumpkin lattes and coffee as much as you like since I will be too -- in 80-degree weather. Promise not to judge since I'm trying to recreate fall in the warm weather too.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
