A poetic analysis of the perks and downfalls of Autumn.

The Pros and Cons of Fall Time

Thunderstorm, thunderstorm, and the air is now cold when it was just warm. Golden flavor upon the atmosphere with apple trees to be swarmed! Oh, how fall is upon us as Friday night lights make the world bright.

Kicks through field goals just to make field goals as I try to make warm my brown nose, yet the wind still blows as if the sky was progressing to drop cold snow but I forgot my gloves back home and have no will to return to that barren place. It's true I'd rather stay here in Chicago where the wind hurts my face, contradictory you say?

To be warm is my greatest treasure surrounded by the candlelight, to be held is my greatest pleasure but the cold makes me eager to fight because a sky so grey makes it harder to pray. Dark nights make it easy to keep others at bay, but how could a season so beautiful make me feel this way?

Like the leaves I am disconnected from the trees I call base. Falling through time living only in my mind, my head, gracefully coming to a standstill, a place to rest called my bed. A place where I can relax and be protected from the wind, a place where others aren't welcome, it is only my time to spend. Like money, all the green is gone.

Like honey, Autumn brings about a new song, and that is one of peace and release. I feel like Thanksgiving itself, alone sitting so comfortable in my fleece, with the aches and pains that the season brings about in my knees, but enough complaining because fall time is here to stay, only thing you can do is stay warm while praying for that day.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.
