It's that time of year again, arguably the best time of the year! It's neither too cold nor too hot outside and just perfect in scenery and the festive moods that start to spread. It's fall time! I've always enjoyed this season the most and here are the top seven reasons why autumn is as awesome as it is.

1. Nature becomes more natural and beautiful

Hands down, almost everyone is taken by the sight of trees with their leaves having changed color into those warm, fuzzy yellows, browns and reds. It's so soothing to look at or even walk through a canopy of fall leaves. Sunrises and sunsets become more vibrant and starry nights, especially up in the artic circle with the aurora borealis (northern lights), become more magical. If anything, this is the time nature best connects to the human soul.

2. Cooler weather is the best kind of weather

No more hot, sticky, humid weather! No need to worry about sweating away in the summer heat and rushing to grab a cold drink every two seconds. In fact, scientific studies have shown that cold weather also boosts performance in people and improves our decision making by allowing us to concentrate more on our logic versus being drained of energy given a warmer temperature surrounding. So bring on the cold, cool breeze of fall!

3. All-things-comfy-and-cozy time


It's sweater weather time indeed! Finally, you can show off all those crazy, fashionable sweaters you got! And don't have to worry much about your wardrobe as that sweater and scarves and gloves have got you all covered.

All-things-comfy-and-cozy also means getting the fireplace going and breaking out all the furry, fuzzy blankets!


Who doesn't like relaxing by the fire while wrapped up in a blanket?

4. Autumn food

I think this sums it up pretty well:


In addition to the pie and the ever famous pumpkin spice lattes, nothing beats the incoming cold weather like a warm cup of autumn apple oatmeal in the morning or having a fall sweet potato side for dinner in the evening. Admit it, warm food (or food in general) just tastes better in fall.

5. Fall back in time (and into bed)


Fall means food, but after all that eating comes some laid back chill time. Speaking of time, happily enough we get to reset our clocks back by an hour, therefore increasing the hours of sleep we're getting (extremely vital for us students) or to finally try and squeeze in some quality knitting time (or any other hobby you may have for fall).

6. New season in weather means more seasons of favorite and new TV shows

An extra hour may also mean an extra hour of binging on your favorite releases this fall. If not into TV shows, there is always the release of book series to look forward to or new novels (and, of course, binge reading is the best of its kind in reading)!

Waiting for the next episode or book like:


(Especially true if left with a cliffhanger.)

7. Holiday season is around the corner


Thanksgiving is weeks away and soon the countdown to all those splendid winter holidays will begin! This also means shopping season is coming. Time to start saving up for all those Christmas goodies for your family, friends, and maybe yourself! Oh, and did I mention the upcoming arrival of snow and snow days?

No matter what your reason is for loving fall, it really is a fun-filled time of nature to celebrate!

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.
