9 Things You Need To Let Go Of This Fall
@loudmorgs

Fall has a way of taking our breath away and reminding us of how amazing the world around us is. It is also a time for letting go. As the autumn leaves let go of the trees and fall, it is a great time for us to let go of a few things in our lives as well. It is a chance to let go and grow with the seasons ahead.

1. Let go of a bad habit.

Whether it is as simple as filling up your gas tank before it hits empty or binging on Netflix the night before a test, letting go of a bad habit never hurts!

2. Let go of that one piece of clothing.

We all have it. That one shirt or a pair of pants covered in Taco Bell stains and love, letting go is going to be hard, but now is the time my friend.

3. Let go of that ex.

They are not worth it. You keep going back and all you get in return is more heartbreak. Let them go and open you up to a new year and new possibilities. You deserve it.

4. Let go of shoes.

It seems silly, but we all have a pair, or fifteen, like this. Donate them! They have only been worn once or twice and are just sitting there.

5. Let go of toxic people.

This one is hard, but until you let them go you do not realize how much they were poisoning you. Sometimes you have to let go of the things you once loved dearly.

6. Let go of that anxiety.

Whether it is over tests and sitting alone in the cafeteria, let it go. It is easier said than done, but letting go of even one of the things that worries you the most is incredibly freeing.

7. Let go of the need to control.

Another hard one, but we cannot control everything in our lives, much to my chagrin. Sometimes you have let go and learn to roll with the punches.

8. Let go of the contents of your fridge.

A simple one, but something that so many people need to do! Cleaning out your fridge not only makes room for all of the holiday leftovers but also allows you to take control of an aspect of your life in a healthy way!

9. Let go of the anger.

Whether it is the guy who cut you off in traffic or the best friend who changed a painful way, let it go. The anger and hurt you are holding onto is only making you feel worse

Let it go. Whether it is one thing on this list or all of them, just do it. Like the leaves falling from the trees, it is time to let go. and open yourself up to the beauty and new beginnings of the future.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
