Forget Winter, When Is Fall Coming?

This heat has got to end!

Forget Winter, When Is Fall Coming?

When September finally came everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief because it meant one thing: fall was coming. Fall is such a beautiful season because it is the best of both weathers; it's warm enough that you can wear a T-shirt or thin long sleeve shirt but it's cool enough that you won't break out into a sweat as soon as you leave your house. We were all excited for fall weather and yet, two weeks into the month, the weather has not changed. Instead of seeing the leaves change on the tree, we all are scrambling to blast our AC units as high as possible, so we do not melt into human sized puddles.

When you go outside the air still feels like you're on the surface of the sun. People are still wearing shorts and tank tops like we're in the middle of July. Two days ago I was invited to go tanning in the park! This weather madness is making me think that fall is never going to come this year. We will be watching football in the pool. Hot chocolate will be replaced with iced coffee. Instead of apple picking we will be tanning and eating ice cream! All of the amazing aspects of fall will be pushed back due to a summer that never wants to end.

It may seem like I don't like summer and I want to set the record straight: I do not. There are cool aspects of summer; school is out is session and it's acceptable to not wear pants anywhere. However, in my eyes, the bad outweighs the good. Whenever you go outside you are immediately soaked in sweat. Say goodbye to any cute outfit or makeup idea you have; the heat will automatically ruin it. Not to mention that summer brings out all of the scary bugs; bugs that will bite you and leave red, itchy marks for weeks. I may be in the minority on this but summer is the worst season.

Fall, wherever you are, know that there are many people waiting for you to come. People who want to wear cozy sweaters and drink apple cider. People who want to jump into piles of leaves and celebrate Halloween without feeling like they are walking through the gates of hell. Please come soon, fall, I'm begging you!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
