Why Fall Really Isn't That Great

Pumpkin spice ain't all that nice.

The much anticipated season is finally here: fall. The time for people to start posting about their favorite things about the upcoming cold weather and activities. Fall is honestly my personal favorite but only really because of thanksgiving (I love me some good comfort food), and it is a favorite to many others. The only thing about this is, it's not really as amazing as people talk it up to be.

1. The wind ruins nearly everything.

Having a good hair day? Don't walk outside.

2. Pumpkin Spice

THIS HAS TO STOP. It's not even that good.

3. Every store anywhere literally looks confused.

Isle 1: Christmas decor. Isle two: Halloween costumes. Isle 3: Yams.

4. The "layering"

It's literally Antartica in the morning but then unbearably hot in the afternoons. People everywhere wearing sweaters and flip flops.

5. Dead things everywhere.

Dead leaves, dead grass, dead dreams of college students who just took midterms.

6. It's cold. SO cold.

Not only is it 40 degrees outside, but add in some wonderful fall "breeze" and you'll be sure to shiver all day.

7. People think it's okay to never wear pants.

Leggings are everywhere... honestly though, I love leggings so much, I'm just deciding to contradict myself on this one. You work those leggings, fam.

8. It gets dark at like.. 5:00 pm.

Nothing's more strange than it being super dark most of the day.

9. EVERYONE has a cold.

Nothing's worse than hearing the sniffles of 30 students through and ENTIRE 8 am lecture.

10. Giving up iced coffee.

Iced coffee is the best thing to ever happen to this world, but now I have to give it up and switch to hot coffee that burns my mouth and makes me sweat.

11. Chapped lips.

No matter how much chapstick you wear or water you drink, your lips will still be chapped. Always.

12. Flu shots.

Flu shots suck, but the people who constantly pester you to get one are even worse.

13. Spiders.

Cold outside = spiders hiding in your house.

Don't get me wrong, there are TONS of great things about fall: football season, bonfires, holidays, lack of humidity... but lets be honest with ourselves: it's just another season. Also, why can't it just be summer again.

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.
