12 Things You Know To Be True If You're Obsessed With Fall

The old proverb was right - lattes are thicker than water.

12 Things You Know To Be True If You're Obsessed With Fall

This is for the people who reject the notion that summer is the Queen Bey of the seasons - the ones who appreciate depth, beauty and utter spookiness. This is for the people that know these things to be true:

1. You can never bake..or eat..too many pies.

And you never, ever, ever feel guilty about it.

2. The seasonal drink menus are endless and overwhelming.

You understand that while the beloved pumpkin spice latte is a must, hot chocolate and warm cider need some love once in a while, too.

3. Halloween movies consume your life.

With titles ranging from "Twitches" on Disney Channel, to the 8 film "Halloween" series featuring psycho-murderer Michael Myers, you have spent countless hours cuddled up next to your pets (or significant other..or any fluffy object that could possibly shield you in the case of possible home invasion) watching every hilarious, gory, scream-worthy scene.

4. Fall has incomparable beauty.

Changing leaves, vibrant sunsets and increasingly bare trees...you know that fall is definitely #aesthetic.

5. Seasonal clothing is mandatory.

But it's not just sweater weather you're excited about - your collection of warm socks is unprecedented, you own more pajama sets than swimsuits, and you have a flannel in every shade of red.

6. Halloween is the holiday.

Christmas is great, but you would rather have fake blood and all-you-can-eat candy (shout out the the lovely people who pass out the full sized candy bars) than stockings and sugar cookies.

7. Pumpkins make the best art.

Carving, painting, and crafting gives you the opportunity to unleash your inner Picasso, and, in the spirit of all things spooky and peculiar, your final pieces often leave people asking, "what even is that?"

8. It isn't really fall until you go apple picking.

You not only go to the orchard to hand pick apples for your pies (see number one), but you go in full battle gear, hot chocolate included, prepared to fight for the sacred cider donuts and caramel apples that too often seem to have sold out just before you arrived at the orchard.

9. Warm scented candles are life.

Fall is the season of pumpkin spice, but as an autumn connoisseur, you know that the best scents have a vanilla or strong cinnamon based.

10. The most legendary Halloween costumes are carefully thought out and crafted.

And while you spend months preparing for this one night, you try to keep in mind that it's all fun and games..that is until somebody in a store bought witch costume wins the contest.

11. Fall is the ultimate "cuddle season."

Winter lovers think they have this one, with the cold weather and Christmas music. But, you know darn well that nothing offers warmth and comfort like a scary-movies-and-hot-chocolate-included cuddle session in mid October.

12. Fall > literally everything.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
