I fall in love with fall (pun intended) every time it comes around. I feel as though when the leaves start to change so do the photo aesthetic. Filters get brighter, lipsticks get darker and our surroundings become the main focus.
Fall pictures are all about the landscape and accessories , we’re all merely props. So from one prop to another here are some tumblr inspired fall pictures you’re bound to see.
The landscape is beautiful during the fall. The leaves have a way of whisking you into deep hues of reds, bright yellows and electric oranges. So grab your camera because nature is calling.
If you’re not clutching or surrounded by one of these items in your #Fall2k16 pictures, are you really invested in the autumn time feeling?
Apple orchards and pumpkin patches are the best place to take cute fall pictures. I couldn’t help myself and just had to follow the trend.
Fall is one of my favorite seasons. Not only because I treasure the beautiful scenery but also because that’s when my style really comes alive. Scarves, oversized sweaters and skirts with leggings are a must. Can’t forget the much needed layers upon layers to beat the crisp autumn air. But most importantly I finally get to dust off my many pairs of fall boots.
Well there you have it! I just gave you an ultimate study guide for taking the perfect fall photos. Now study it and put what you’ve learned into practice.

Now that I have one year of college under my belt, I feel that it’s my duty (as a somewhat- not really upperclassman) to help prepare all the incoming freshman. Prepare them for what you may ask? Well, the cold reality of higher education of course.
Freshman are sooo cute and kinda annoying. They’re bright eyed, bushy tailed and excited about life. Like little baby chicks before they realized that the farm isn’t their happily ever after, but preparation for the real world. Real world really meaning dinner plates.
So here are 6 things I dreamed college would be as a freshman, but ended up with reality instead.
Here at the U of A, instead of one main cafeteria with restaurants scattered around, we have many fast food restaurants with one cafeteria… somewhere on campus. Now, I wasn’t expecting a five-star restaurant with Wolfgang Puck behind the stove flipping burgers. But I at least thought there’d be more effort put towards keeping my non-picky taste buds satisfied. Don’t get me wrong I’ve still gained the freshman 15 and probably more, but it’s safe to say you grow tired of the food on campus pretty quickly.
You know how the ugly duckling grew up and became the beautiful graceful swan? Yeah, I thought that was going to happen to me. I thought I was finally going to go from a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly. Turns out in reality the ugly duckling turns into the fugly duckling. See no one tells you that the stress from school was going to make you break out and stress eat your feelings. Now the only glow in my life is the illuminance of my MacBook screen as I watch Netflix alone on Friday nights in my dorm.
I like most girls dreamed of coming to college and finding that perfect guy my first year. I thought I’d meet him in one of my lectures, at a party or even in the line at Panda. Pretty naive of me to think that three months during the summer would turn a high school boy into a college man. The only difference between high school guys and freshman/sophomores college guys is that they have a bigger playground to play games. They’re not trying to settle down and the truth is neither should you. I know we girls like to think of the future but you just got here. Live in the moment, college is where you find yourself, make sure you find you before you start looking for the one.
I knew college was going to be difficult academically [and it is] just not in the way I assumed. I didn’t change my major 100x’s and the course load can get hectic but I still find a way to make it through. College is hard in the sense that it’s all on you. More people are going to college, so it’s up to me to stand out and get involved with things that put me above the rest. I’ve done this by getting an internship my freshman year, joining different clubs/organizations and constantly pushing myself to do more. Having a degree isn’t enough anymore what else you got?
I never thought I’d be homesick but little did I know that homesickness would hit me like a freight train. When I left for school my mom told me to call her every day. I thought she was being ridiculous, “every day isn’t that a little excessive” I’d ask her. I now call my mom two to three times a day. First semester I’d constantly ask to come home but with Minnesota being 1,646 miles away and a plane ticket costing around $500, going home on a regular was not an option. I missed my family, home cooked meals and my soft fluffy bed. Good thing I brought my buddy Cotton with me to remind me of home.
All jokes aside it’s become more prevalent that college campuses aren’t as safe as we think. I know going into my first year I got the talk from my parents to stay safe and watch who I hang out with, which I did. I made amazing friends who I trusted. But that’s not always the case and I want you incoming freshman to keep that in mind. Really take care of yourselves when your; out on the weekends, walking home late from the library or just in your dorm. Be mindful of your surroundings and once again stay safe.
Now these tips aren’t to frighten or discourage you. Everyones college experience is different and what you make of it is up to you. College may be stressful, hard and scary but it’s also fun, adventurous and well worth it. The experiences, memories and friendships you make will come in handy in the real world. Or at minimum be great stories to tell the grandkids. So spread your wings baby chick and fly. Just kidding you’re a domesticated chicken you can’t fly.
