Ah, Fall! It's finally here, with its numerous pumpkin spice lattes, sweaters, (well sort of because we're in Oklahoma), and football season is in full swing.
Here are 8 things we love about OUr campus in the fall.
1. The promise of less than 80-degree weather.
Oklahoma heat tends to get a little old when you're sitting shoulder to shoulder in the student section literally melting into your shoes. Fall brings us into a season of hope; hope for cooler weather that's less than melting temperature to walk to class.
2. Game days.
There's seriously nothing better than gameday on Campus Corner. OU almost seems to come alive!
3. Homecoming.
Homecoming and everything it entails! Rah-rally, pomping, (as much as we all act like we hate it), chalking the sidewalks. It's one of the best times to be a Sooner!
4. Rainy Days.
Not that it hasn't rained before, but for some reason, rainy days in the fall seem to happen exactly when you need them. We'll probably still complain about the fact that we had to walk to class in the rain, but being able to wear sweats and a hoodie to class definitely makes it worth it!
5. OU/Texas.
It seems to be the end-all and what we wait for all semester. Even if you don't travel to Dallas for the game, watching it on TV and having an extra couple of days to not have class is pretty great!
6. The shorter days, and the sunsets that go along with them.
One word: gorgeous!
7. Late night study sessions with friends.
Study sessions happen all the time, but in the fall you have the promise of game days on the weekends, which make classes during the week that much easier to get through, along with those long study sessions that run into all hours of the night. Don't get it wrong, it's still studying but it's a little bit less painless, maybe?
8. Cool nights.
Being able to walk around at night without sweating bullets might just be one of the best things about fall in Norman. You can actually wear that cute outfit you picked out without being a sweaty mess!
OU in fall is seriously one of the best times of year to be a Sooner. Being a Sooner all the time is pretty great too, but there's just something about the fall semester that seems to be all about making memories and being a college kid!
