October, It's One Of The Best Months Of The Year

Ohhh, October. the temperature starts to change, the season of holidays begins, people start to decorate their homes. Nothing is better than watching scary movies, getting to pull out the sweaters and boots that have been sitting in your closet since last year. Ohhh, and pumpkin everything, am I right?

It's the start of the holiday season!!!

With October it takes us into the most festive time of the year, November equals Thanksgiving, December equals Christmas. A time full of family and friends and good food. And all the boxes of decorations we get to bring down from the attic. All the amazing flavored foods and seasonal candies.

Bath and Body Works, that's all I'm gonna say.

I mean there are the Halloween, Fall and Christmas lines that are amazing. I mean if your gonna say that you don't go out and spend a decent amount of money here at this time of the year your lying to yourself. Now not everyone loves this store but the scented candles they have are so wonderful. They fill your home with just warm and inviting scents.

All of the movies.

ABC Family's 31 Nights of Halloween, and their 25 Days of Christmas. (I refuse to call them freeform.) Not to mention there is the Hallmark channel, and they are bringing up a whole new line up for this Christmas. There are so many good movies for this time of year, like "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "Elf," "Hocus Pocus," "Home Alone," and the list goes on forever. Grab a cozy blanket, some snacks and you got yourself the best night ever.

Pumpkins, Cookies, Boots, Scarves, Candy canes, Gingerbread Houses, Trick or Treating.

Making cookies, carving pumpkins, getting to wear boots and scarves. Well getting to wear boots and scarves in Florida isn't till like December, but October lets us know that it won't be hot all day every day for much longer. Carving pumpkins, while messy is so much fun because trying to get a really good design can be kind of tricky. Making a gingerbread house is a mission in it of itself because trying to get the walls to stay up and the roof not to slide off is such a struggle, but the end results and the memories are worth all the struggling. Trick or treating no matter how old you are is fun because free candy is the best candy, and getting to dress up is part of the fun too.

October, you are a great month and thank you for being you!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
