7 Reasons Autumn Is The Best Season Of The Year

Author's Photo

Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year, I love that it can be cold, but not too cold. Fall is the time for fuzzy socks and warm drinks. The leaves change colors and I am allowed to wear all the sweaters in my closet.

There is so much I love about Fall and what comes with it.

1. Halloween

Halloween is my favorite holiday by far. The candy, the dressing up, I love it all. Halloween is the one time of year that you can dress up and not be judged for letting your inner child free.

2. Warm Tea

I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but nothing makes me feel better than cozying up with a warm cup of tea. Tea and a good book on a nice fall day can is the best feeling.

3. Fall Clothes

Fall weather brings fall clothes, and I am definitely here for big cozy sweaters.

4. The Leaves

I love how many colors there are, the different hues of reds, oranges, and yellows. I love the sound of leaves crunching underneath my boots as I walk through the colors. I love leaf piles big enough for me to jump into.

5. Wizarding Weekend (This one is for mostly being in Ithaca)

What says Halloween and Autumn more than a wizarding festival? Answer, nothing. Harry Potter is the epitome of fall and what fall feels like. Harry Potter brings witches and warlocks from everywhere together to celebrate in the Ithaca Commons a spooky celebration.

6. 31 Nights of Halloween

Freeform has decided to change thirteen nights of Halloween to Thirty One Nights of Halloween and I am honestly living for it. Watching Halloween movies is my favorite pastime. Autumn is also my excuse to force my friends to watch scary movies with me.

7. Decorating

The minute it turns October 31st my room is transformed. I love adding halloween and fall decorations that will not come down until christmas. Our door is decorated with fake eyes and signs, and my dresser has glittered pumpkins all over it.

Autumn is my favorite season because of everything it brings. I appreciate the atmosphere it brings and all the experiences that come.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

University of Tennessee at Chattanooga

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
