10 Reasons to Say Goodbye to Summer

As the hot weather comes to an end, you may find yourself drowning in summer withdrawal. So pull out your cutest sweaters and jeans, grab your best autumn vests, and get yourself out of this funk because fall is right around the corner. As you sadly pack away your bathing suits and sunscreen, look forward to these 10 fall favorites:

1. The weather

No more sweating on the walk to class! Yes, we will all miss the beautiful beach breeze, but the crisp air of autumn is truly refreshing and unlike anything else.

2. The leaves changing

Walking around campus surrounded by the beautiful color of fall leaves creates an ambiance of tranquility. From bright orange to deep red, the changing colors of the leaves just adds to the overall beauty of autumn.

3. Apple picking

Is fall even a season without apple picking? This tradition is one you can’t miss. Gathering up a group of friends and family and heading to a local orchard is an activity that creates everlasting memories. Plus, the perfect location for a photo shoot is in the middle of a pumpkin patch.

4. The food

Even the smell of Carmel apples gets me in the perfect mood for fall. Baking delicious homemade apple pie will make your house smell like heaven, and eating it will send you there. Everything Pumpkin flavored from Iced Coffees to bread will knock you off your feet. And don’t worry, there’s plenty to go around.

5. Pumpkin carving

Growing up, pumpkin carving was a tradition my family never missed. Whether it’s a silly face or something you’d see in your nightmares, the art of carving a pumpkin is the perfect family bonding experience.

6. Football season

As soon as fall takes off, so does football season. Whether you’re a Giants or Eagles fan, football season is definitely something to look forward to. So go get your season tickets now! You don’t want to miss out on this exciting time.

7. Boot & sweater weather

Fall fashion is definitely something to look forward to. Grab all your fashionable vests, comfy sweaters, and cute boots because autumn is on its way!

8. Baking time

The perfect time to bake some pumpkin pie and other fall treats with your friends and family is autumn. Get out the recipes and go crazy, leftovers are what fall is all about.

9. Halloween

Halloween is a holiday unlike any other. From football players to police officers, costumes make it one of the best days of the year. And the best part? Candy.

10. Cozy nights by the fireplace

Spending time cuddling, watching a movie, and snuggling by the fireplace creates nights you’ll always treasure. Fall is a time to relax and enjoy the beauty of autumn, so make sure you take advantage of it as much as you can.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
