Summer is overrated.

Five Reasons Why Fall Is The Best Season

Now that summer is officially winding down, there may be a lot of people disappointed that fall is here. No longer are there opportunities to play at the beach or looking at the stars. It can seem depressing to know that all the fun of summer is coming to an end. However, there are many reasons to rejoice that fall is among us.

5. Nothing beats a good fall bonfire.

Summer might be able to offer nights by a fire, but nothing beats a chilly autumn night, wrapped up in a blanket with a good cup of cider next to a cozy fire. There is just something calming and beautiful that comes from a chilly night spent around a fire. Whether it is with a group of friends after a Friday night football game, or surrounded by your family on a Saturday night, fall is the perfect season for bonfires.

4. Fall is the best for fashion.

There are only so many ways to feel good about your outfit during the summer, especially in the heat. When the temperature outside is hot, the fewer layers the better. However, with fall comes the cardigans, dresses, tights, and boots. Layering is both cute and practical, since the days are getting chillier. We can put away our tank tops in exchange for chunky sweaters.

3. Nothing beats the fall scenery.

There is nothing as beautiful as a fall day. The leaves are falling colors of red, orange, and yellow. The air brings that crisp sensation in your lungs. The smell of fall alone can be intoxicating. Taking a walk on a fall day is beautiful and breathtaking. There is something romantic about being able to take a walk on a fall day that summer cannot simply offer.

2. Fall is a perfect opportunity to curl up with a good book.

The days are getting shorter, which means it gets dark a lot earlier. This can provide a whole realm of boredom that long summer days cannot do. You can be left with a lot of evening time to fill. However, this brings an opportunity to curl up with your favorite blanket, cider, and a good book. Getting lost in a good book can be a comforting thing as you lose yourself in the world the author created.

1. Fall means Halloween.

Look, the rest of the seasons have a lot to offer. However, none of them can bring Halloween except Fall. Decorating for Halloween is thrilling and offers a lot of variety. Do you want spooky or cute decorations? Maybe you just want a horror movie theme or pumpkin theme. Whatever the case, fall becomes a socially acceptable time to bring out your skull decor. With Halloween coming, television channels offer a lot of scary movies. This is one of the few times a year you can binge watch horror movies non-stop without using a streaming service. Halloween also means dressing up in costumes. Hanging out with your friends or handing out candy in a costume is always a fun ordeal. You get a chance to be silly or scary for a night of fun.

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 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?
