Tis The Season For October

6 reasons why we love it.

Tis The Season For October
northbridgetimes

Twelve months out of the year and yet, everyone seems to gravitate towards October. Why? Could it be that there is so much celebration going on? We have Oktoberfest, birthdays (count nine months before October and you'll find out what special holiday is creating so many birthdays), special events and right now we have presidential debates! Maybe it's the change in the weather that gravitates people toward this month, just getting over allergies as the cold breeze sets in. It could just be one huge coincidence! Here are six reasons why October is so lovable.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

The top reason why October is so near and dear to so many people. This month is filled with fundraisers, walks/runs, and the occasional pink hair. It’s a time designated to acknowledge all those who have or are currently fighting this unfair battle and to remember those who lost the fight. Dress pink, buy pink and GO PINK to support all those lovely ladies and men whose lives have been effected. Let’s find a cure.


It’s fall, AKA sweater weather

Ladies, put those booty shorts away and whip out your jeans and vests! Tis the season for a little more clothing and a lot less skin. For many this is the season they can’t wait for. So many sweaters to wear, so many boots to buy, so little time! Once the winter rolls around than we will all be hiding under six layers of shirts and one massive coat on top. Goodbye

to looking cute and hello to staying warm. There’s justno time for effort in the winter so show off all those trendy clothes now, while you can!

Two words, PUMPKIN SPICE

This trend in taste is spreading like wild fire! Thanks Wawa, Dunkin Donuts and many others for never letting us forget that you have pumpkin spice flavored EVERYTHING. We only are blessed with this flavor from late September to middle November so ladies, stock up. Once it’s gone, it’s gone until next season. How do we even survive without it?

Pumpkin picking

Grab your flannels, jeans and high boots because it’s about that time to head over to the pumpkin patch for a great photo-shoot with your friends. Yeah, we all know that it is a good time to go pick a pumpkin but let’s be real, mostly everyone is in it for the picture. Unless you’re an avid pumpkin carver and if that’s the case, please send me your information because for some reason my jack lantern always turns out looking like one big circle out of the pumpkin.

Halloween

Who doesn’t love a day where you can dress up and be someone completely different? Vampires, zombies, cats, all of our favorite creatures and for a day we get to be them. (Not to mention all the candy that goes along with the holiday). For college students, this one day turns into a weekend of festivities! So many different costumes and so many different people to collaborate with. If you don’t think we take it just as seriously as the youngsters than you are completely wrong. We dress to impress our fellow classmates with the best costumes.

Halloween Town

Ladies and gentlemen, if you do not know what Halloween Town is I am going to need you to take a personal day and watch all of them. Nothing says Halloween like Marny trying to fight off evil. How could they just switch her in the last movie and expect us loyal fan base not to care? To the OG Marny, we miss you!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
