Every year and every semester, students around campus always look forward to specific seasons. But for SBU, it seems like fall is the talk of the season.
Here's are 10 things to look forward to during fall:
Football
Tailgating, Keeping up with your favorite teams, Screaming from the stands, Watching your team score the game winning touchdown.
Cool Weather
Going on hayrides, (the hayrides can be spooky or not) Exploring corn mazes with your friends, Hiking through nature. During your hike through nature, try to make a list of items to find to make it more enjoyable!
Fall Clothing
Sweaters and Scarfs and Boots oh my... From cardigans to leggings, to sweatshirts to flannels, the fall clothing is very diverse.
Leaves
Changing colors, Falling off trees, Using them for crafts, making leaf prints, Jumping in leaves, Finding the prettiest or brightest colors.
Harvest Time
Pumpkin patch, Apple picking, Farmers market. Picking all the fresh snacks and sweets while having a wonderful time! During harvest time, try doing a photo shoot while picking apples or at the pumpkin patch to capture the memories!
Bonfires
S'mores, Gathering around the fire, Wrapped tightly in blankets. Looking up and seeing the stars, Enjoying fellowship with friends.
Haunted Houses
Facing your fears, Screaming with friends, Trying to scare your friends, Always looking over your shoulders to make sure nothing is coming from behind, (not always a good plan but it works)
Although, not everyone is a fan of haunted houses, they're still a huge thing for an activity during fall.

Holidays
