Make Fall Great Again

Winter can wait.

Make Fall Great Again

I'm an avid Twitter person. Am I on it a little more than I should be? Yeah, probably. I also don't get mad very often. But this is a very serious issue that needs to be addressed.

As I scroll through my Twitter newsfeed, I see so many people already tweeting about how they want to start listening to Christmas music and are ready for it to snow. Let's pump the brakes for a second. IT'S NOT EVEN HALLOWEEN YET. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas as much as the next person. It's probably my favorite holiday, outside summer vacation (yes, I now that's not an actual holiday). But I can wait for the snow. It's like we go from summer into winter, completely forgetting about fall.

What happened to everyone getting all geeked out about pumpkin spice lattes, apple orchards, and football? What happened to the excitement of going door to door asking strangers for candy? Halloween is literally the only day that is socially acceptable. What happened to carving pumpkins and roasting the pumpkin seeds? Oh yeah, it died when we all decided to only do it for the "gram" and not just because it was fun.

What about Thanksgiving? Did we forget about that too? Y'all are too busy worrying about the "great Black Friday deals" you think you're getting, you forgot about spending time with your family eating way too much food. Just thinking about the turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, sweet potatoes, mac 'n' cheese, and you can't forget the great American apple pie, makes my mouth water.

Not to mention the fact that Black Friday is no longer on Friday. It starts at like 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. This is asinine. Do people no longer enjoy watching Thanksgiving Day football anymore? I, for one, love it even if the Lions lose. But I digress.

Forgive me if I seem a little harsh, but the fact of the matter is that Christmas can wait. Fall is about the leaves changing, pumpkin spice lattes, puffy sweaters, apple orchards, Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin, and football. Let fall have its time, Christmas will be here soon enough and then we can complain all about the snow and ice, and how we wish it was summer again.

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.
