With only a few weeks left of summer, the fall semester is quickly approaching. While we would all love to stay on the beach or exploring other countries indefinitely, it is time to start preparing for the fall. If you’re sad about summer ending, hopefully this will get you excited. Here are seven reasons that we should be looking forward to the fall semester.

Reuniting with your friends.

Tailgating.

Football games.

Temperature changes.

Fresh start at a new semester.

Seeing your friends every day on campus.

Moving back out of your parents’ house.

So kick that end-of-the-summer blues to the curb and pack your bags. It’s time to head back to your real home: college.
