Why Fall Is My Favorite

Sorry summer, I'm all about autumn right now.

Why Fall Is My Favorite

F. Scott Fitzgerald once wrote: "Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall." It's one of my favorite quotes because I truly think that fall is transformative. But that's not the only reason why I love it. From the fashion to the leaves, here are 10 (more) reasons why fall is my favorite.

1. The colors

Blood orange. Marigold. Cherry red. These are only some of the wonderful colors that we can see. It's amazing how warm and comfortable everything is.




2. The leaves and the trees

The leaves change color and then they fall gently to the ground. The trees desperately try to hang onto them, but there's something beautifully tragic about the letting go.



3. The fashion

I'm all for the oversized sweatshirts, leggings and ankle boots. And who doesn't love plaid, stripes and/or golden accents? Plus fall lends itself nicely to chunky jewelry and cute cardigans.



4. The drinks

From PSL's to hot cocoa, the autumn season brings us all the comforts of home with these soothing beverages. There's everything from caramel to apple, and it's delicious.



5. The food

Thanksgiving. Need I say more?



6. The activities

There's apple picking, pumpkin patch visits, leaf jumping and of course, football games. And even if you're not in high school anymore, they're still really fun to go to, I promise.




7. The entertainment

For TV nerds like me, all the cool shows return in the fall for their new seasons. I couldn't be more excited.




8. The makeup

Vampy lips, contoured cheeks and golden eyes. I'm so there.




9. The quotes

Like this one or the one I started this article with. So relatable.



10. The cozy

The blankets, the knits, the fuzzy socks. So comfy it's crazy.

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.
