The Start Of Fall Means It's Officially The Holiday Season

You know you have something you're waiting for during holiday season.

Who else has walked into the store and noticed decorations for Halloween 3 months in advance? And then in a couple weeks and there are decorations for Thanksgiving before Halloween has even passed! Crazy right? Yes, yet I can't help but to love it.

There's a sense of good feeling whenever holiday season rolls around, it must be something in the crisp air. It all starts in August when you're anticipating it all to begin. Whether you're waiting for your pumpkin spiced lattes to grace Starbucks' menu once again or for candy corn to decorate the candy shelves at your local store, you've got something you're waiting for during holiday season.

Most importantly, you can't deny how good it feels when the cold weather finally hits and you can snuggle up in an oversized sweater with a big blanket drinking your favorite hot drink. Did I mention fuzzy socks? That's as good as it gets.

I'd be dumb not to mention all the holiday movies on Freeform (RIP ABC Family). Hours and hours of time are devoted to Halloweentown all the way down to Elf. Yes, watched in no other way than fuzzy socks and a cozy blanket.

Can't you just picture it now? The Christmas lights lighting up the houses on your street, the happy Santa greeters at grocery stores, the little ones talking about their Christmas lists, the endless baking of sweets for holiday parties, and best of all, decorating the Christmas tree.

Whether you're a spooky Halloween lover or an inner elf on the shelf for Christmas, appreciate the holiday season people, cause it only comes once a year.. unfortunately.

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.
