It's October and you know what that means.... time to do every fall activity you can before it gets too cold! Here are just a few "must-do"s:

​​​​​​Decorate 

fake cobwebs, lights, streamers, skeletons, pumpkins, you name it- any and all decorations are very well appreciated.

 Go get your favorite pumpkin spiced drink

It's that time of year again: pumpkin spiced everything. Whether it's a latte, cider, ale, or anything in between, now's the time.

Carve pumpkins

Get out your carving tools and pick out your design! And if you're feeling a little crazy, you could even make it a jack-o-lantern!

Roast pumpkin seeds

Giphy

After you've carved your pumpkin, there's nothing better to do with all the seeds than to roast 'em! Super simple and super yummy!

 Hay ride

Bundle up and grab some friends! If you're really feeling the Halloween vibes, a haunted hay ride never fails to set in the spookies!

Make your friends a Halloween basket

Giphy

Put anything from candy to a few good halloween movies in there, and no matter what it is, there's no doubt it'll brighten up their day

Watch Hocus Pocus

Speaking of Halloween movies..... this one is a "must-watch" around Halloween time

Go costume shopping

Or even make your own! You can also coordinate a group costume with friends or family, and have a costume making party!

Go Candy shopping

Now's the time to stock up for trick-or-treaters!

Make a wreath

Giphy

Now it's really starting to feel like fall

 Make sure you're caught up on every American Horror Story episode

Halloween is all about creepy, and no show does creepy better than AHS

 Visit a haunted house

Grab some good friends and see who gets the most scared!

Make pumpkin pie

Is it really October if you don't make pumpkin pie?

 Go to a pumpkin patch

It's basically mandatory

Go on a drive and look at all the leaves changing

Make a good playlist and hit the road! Even grab some friends to join you too, and go look at all the leaves while they last.

Drink cider

Lots of it. You can even do a coffee-shop-hop and go around your town to various coffee shops, trying to find the best cider.

go to a Corn Maze

Divide your friends into teams and see who gets out first!

Apple picking

t really just isn't fall until you've done this as well

Jump in a leaf pile

Cause it's fall and, well, why not

Tell scary stories

Gather some friends and see who's got the scariest story.... and who gets the most scared.


After you've done all this.... it's Christmas time. Get ready and get spirited.

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.
