6 Reasons Why I Can't Wait For Fall

With August coming near to an end, our hot weather months are finally ending. While summer is one of my favorite seasons, I have just about had enough of the hot temperatures! Out with the 90 degrees and in with the 60 degree weather!

Here are six reasons why I can't wait for fall to begin.

1. The leaves changing colors.

There is nothing more beautiful than the leaves beginning to change colors. I love driving and seeing a mix of red, orange, and yellow leaves both on the trees and beginning to fall from the tree branches.

2. The drop in temperature.

I absolutely LOVE the summer time, especially because my birthday is in June. However, by end of August, I am ready for cooler weather. The fall is perfect because it cools down and is breezy and so nice outside!

3. Jeans, sweaters, and boots season.

As I pack away my tank tops, bikinis, and shorts, I pull out my jeans, scarves, light sweaters, and boots. I love sweater season and being cozy during the fall. The change in clothing is one of the best parts!

4. Fall festivities.

My mom and I love going to festivals both local and out of state. There are a few around my town that sell food, decorations for your home, and etc.. We also go to the Big E every year which is a huge festival that has tents set up, tons of food, a carnival, animals, and so much more.

5. Pies, donuts, and apple cider.

I think everyone can agree with me that fall foods are one of the best things to look forward to during the year. My mom makes pumpkin pie every year. I for one, love apple pie and cider donuts from Lyman Orchards. Apple cider is also really popular during the fall and it is delicious!

6. Pumpkin picking.

I feel that you can never be too old to go pumpkin picking. It is such a fun experience and you can get almost any size pumpkin you want. At the farm my family and I go to, pumpkins are placed all over a field and you can pick whichever one you want. The farm also sells baby pumpkins, gourds, and bundles of corn as decorations for your home (which are super cute!).

Fall is one of the most beautiful seasons we see in Connecticut. It comes and goes very quickly but it surely is great while it's here. Go outside, enjoy the cooler weather, and spend a day at a fall festival!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
