Fall is Here

The ten best things about fall.

Sep 05, 2016

I love summer. I love swimming, snow cones, and no schoolwork. However, as August and now September roll around, I realize that there are a lot of good things about fall coming, especially in college.

1. Seeing your friends again

Getting a break from school is great, but that also means not getting to see a lot of your friends for three months. Hanging out with friends and catching up is always fun.

2. Football Season

The start of football season is one of the best times of the year. Football games are exciting and fun.

3. Clothing

Flannels, layers, boots, leggings, scarfs, and more. Fall clothing has so many great options.

5. Colder Weather

In the summer in Oklahoma the weather can reach well over one-hundred degrees. You sweat, a lot. It is always nice when the temperture starts to drop.

6. Leaves change colors

I love when the leaves change colors and fall from the trees. It is always so pretty. Also, jumping in piles of leaves never gets old.

7. Holidays are Coming.

Fall is coming and that means the holidays are too. I love Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

8. Fire places

There is something so relaxing about sitting by the fire. Whether it is a fire place or a bonfire it is very calming. S'mores are also pretty tasty.

9. Television

All your favorite television shows get renewed in the fall. No more reruns, all new episodes.

10. Food

Because of Thanksgiving and the cooler weather, there are a lot of foods that are much more common in fall. Pies, soups, and casseroles just to name a few. There is also hot chocolate, coffee, and cider that come back out for the fall. Fall is tasty when it comes to food.

I love summertime and everything about it, but there are many good things about fall coming back around.

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.
