A poetic analysis of the perks and downfalls of Autumn.

The Pros and Cons of Fall Time

Thunderstorm, thunderstorm, and the air is now cold when it was just warm. Golden flavor upon the atmosphere with apple trees to be swarmed! Oh, how fall is upon us as Friday night lights make the world bright.

Kicks through field goals just to make field goals as I try to make warm my brown nose, yet the wind still blows as if the sky was progressing to drop cold snow but I forgot my gloves back home and have no will to return to that barren place. It's true I'd rather stay here in Chicago where the wind hurts my face, contradictory you say?

To be warm is my greatest treasure surrounded by the candlelight, to be held is my greatest pleasure but the cold makes me eager to fight because a sky so grey makes it harder to pray. Dark nights make it easy to keep others at bay, but how could a season so beautiful make me feel this way?

Like the leaves I am disconnected from the trees I call base. Falling through time living only in my mind, my head, gracefully coming to a standstill, a place to rest called my bed. A place where I can relax and be protected from the wind, a place where others aren't welcome, it is only my time to spend. Like money, all the green is gone.

Like honey, Autumn brings about a new song, and that is one of peace and release. I feel like Thanksgiving itself, alone sitting so comfortable in my fleece, with the aches and pains that the season brings about in my knees, but enough complaining because fall time is here to stay, only thing you can do is stay warm while praying for that day.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
