Why I Won't Miss Summer

Why I Won't Miss Summer

Summer is finally winding down. Vacations are over, tan lines are fading, and “back to school” ads are in full swing. It can be a sad transition from summer into fall until you realize all the great things fall has to offer.

1. Cold weather

I don’t know about you but I’m tired of sweating.

2. No shaving

Even though I’m not one to give up shaving my legs all together, fall definitely gives you the excuse to let your hair grow a little bit longer than you usually would. Who has time to shave their legs everyday anyway?

3. Leggings

Although they can arguably be worn all year, there’s no denying that the best time to wear leggings as pants is in the fall. It’s not too hot outside and it’s not too cold.

4. Halloween

It’s the one day of the year you won’t be judged for eating all the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups you want.

5. Pumpkin picking

Nothing gives me more joy in life than going to a farm and picking out a pumpkin to carve.

6. Haunted houses

There’s nothing more fun than walking through a haunted house with all of your friends.

7. Scary movies

Even though I hate being scared, I somehow manage to put that aside for a month and enjoy a ton of scary movies. They really help me get into the Halloween spirit.

8. Baggy sweaters

In the fall I basically live in a baggy sweater and leggings. It’s the most comfortable outfit in the entire world.

9. Fall drinks

I am counting down the days until I can go to "Dunkin’ Donuts" and order a pumpkin iced coffee.

10. Apple cider donuts

I’m probably going to start a petition to make them available all year round.

11. Scarves

I have a minor scarf addiction. I probably have at least two in every pattern and color you can think of. When it comes to making a complete outfit, scarves are the perfect accessory. They keep you warm and look cute.

12. UGG boots

I don’t care if they’re ugly they’re super comfortable.

13. Combat boots

They’re just as comfortable as UGG boots but make you look a little more stylish.

14. TV shows

All of my favorite TV shows have taken a break for the summer and I’m experiencing definite withdrawal.

15. Thanksgiving

It’s an entire holiday dedicated to giving thanks and eating. How could it get any better?

16. Pumpkin pie

The best dessert.

17. Fall scents

I already went to “Bath and Body Works” and purchased a cinnamon pumpkin candle. I haven’t lit it yet but I’m ready for my room to smell like a magical fall wonderland.

18. Fuzzy socks

They’re basically blankets for your feet.

19. Flannel shirts

They’re comfortable and cozy.

20. Concert tours

I go to concerts all year but fall is definitely the best time. All of the bands that have been taking breaks to record new music are ready to get back on the road.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
