With Fall around the corner, we all know what that means. Social media has definitely seen activity with the many, many posts and memes shared on an hourly basis, especially about pumpkin spice everything. Others might focus on the countdown to Halloween.

Regardless if you cannot wait or you are dreading it, there is plenty of things to look forward to. You might already have some as traditions or you might want to try something new this year. Here are twelve things that we can look forward to this year.

1. Cooler Weather

It is not too hot and not too cold, but rather a mediator between the two. Wardrobes open up to warmer colors and sweaters. Opportunities open up to the perfect photo op.

2. Raking Leaves

For some raking leaves might feel like a chore, but adding a bit of fun to it can make all the difference. Piling it together to jump into them is a classic thing to do, but have you ever tried making leaf dummies? All you need is some old clothes, markers, raked leaves, and a plastic bag.

3. Drinking Hot Chocolate

With the cooler weather comes hotter drinks. Apple cider and hot chocolate will always make the list.

4. Going To Apple Orchards

With the focus on pumpkin spice, apples tend to be forgotten. Apple pie, apple cider, apple cinnamon, and of course, candy apples.

5. Finding The Biggest Pumpkin

It is all about how much of the insides you can dig out before you began the process of carving.

6. Hay Rides

These rides are fun, despite the beginning of one's allergies acting up.

7. Baking

With Fall comes festive treats. Rice Krispies and cookies to family specialties.

8. Movie Marathon

Movies! You can never go wrong with a movie marathon. The cooler weather makes it comfortable to just stay in the house and relax while watching a wide range of movies to pick from, especially in October. Regardless if you want to spend the day with Michael or three sister witches, it is a day well spent.

9. Bonfires

Bonfires has several meanings: warmth, evening, fun, and s'mores.

10. Football

Physically playing or just watching, football season is session. It all brings out team pride and competitiveness.

11. Games

Boredness will not be an easy task. There is quite a bit that can be done, both inside and outside. Tailgating and playing corn hole. Embracing personal creativity through arts and crafts. Then you can always pass the time with board games and puzzles.

12. Two Major Holidays

Fall hosts two major holidays: Halloween and Thanksgiving. Each with its own festivities. From decorations and food to traditions. Shopping and styling comes with tasks of being in the holiday spirit.

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.
