With Daylight Saving Time ending on Sunday, fall is surely upon us! Pumpkin carving, leaves falling, and a chill in the air were good hints too. How many of these signs of fall have you noticed in State College?
1. Football!!!
Unless you live under a rock, you're probably well aware that it's football season and our Nittany Lions have had quite a year so far! I guess there are other fall sports, but nothing feels more like fall to me than celebrating in Beaver Stadium with 107,000 of the world's greatest fans!
2. Changing wardrobes
With the changing weather comes a changing wardrobe for many Penn Staters. Flip flops are swapped out for UGGs, shorts and dresses are traded for leggings, and the North Faces come out in full force.
3. Plague Season
If you're not sniffling or coughing yet, you must be on some strong vitamins or something because the Campus Plague is almost impossible to avoid this time of year.
4. PUMPKIN SPICE
It all started with the Pumpkin Spice Latte... Now we have Pumpkin Spice milk, Pumpkin Spice gum, Pumpkin Spice Cheerios, Pumpkin Spice vodka, Pumpkin Spice yogurt, Pumpkin Spice bagels, Pumpkin Spice chocolate, Pumpkin Spice cream cheese... Please, someone, come up with a new spice!
5. Falling leaves
And the child in you will never stop wanting to jump into the piles.
6. The Instagram captions
If someone you follow is in a relationship, they're definitely going to be breaking out their cheesiest fall themed captions so have your likes ready!
7. Midterm Season
While October and November means Halloween and Thanksgiving, it also means lots of exams, papers, and projects... Yay
