I have accepted an internship to write for a girl’s How To website called omghow.com! I am very excited to be a part of this, and I was very excited to start. Of course, me being me and having to do everything differently (I asked their permission of course), I started off my first article as a “How (Not) To.”

And we all know what day it is. *spooky music playing*

Read on to be sent to my very first article, “How (Not) To Dress For Halloween.” You can’t say you aren’t curious.

Fall Makes Me Think Of

Categories Life2 Comments on Fall Makes Me Think Of

Fall is my favorite. Actually, I’m already taking it back, winter has Christmas in it.. Fall and winter are my favorites. Fall colors are my favorite.

Now that we have that cleared up. .

Because fall is one of my favorites, I have collected a great store of memories that pop up during this season, memories that are weird.

Normal people talk about orange leaves, and pumpkin spice lattes, and sweater weather.

I’m a little different. These are things I think of when fall comes around, and what better day to tell you than October first! October is %100 fall.
