Your Guide To The Most UVA Fall Day

UVA may be at its most beautiful during fall. Students often express their love for autumn in Charlottesville, but I’ve found the experiences students enjoy lack variety. By that I mean everyone goes on basically the same five or so outings to get in the fall spirit. Since I’m admittedly guilty of all at least half of these pastimes, here’s my guide for how to live the most UVA fall day.

1. 6:00a.m. Be a pretty person running

2. 10:00a.m. Brunch so hard

Extra points if you wait an hour plus outside Bluegrass, order anything “bottomless” or reference The Breakfast Club or Breakfast at Tiffany's.

3. 12:00p.m. Hop over to the football game for the first quarter

Your dress needs enough orange to look festive, but not so much that you look like a traffic cone. You shouldn't know the name of the opposing team until they score.

4. 2:00p.m. Win or lose, leave to go pick apples by halftime

Once you arrive at Carter Mountain, be sure to only take pictures with apples and then buy donuts.

5. 4:00p.m. Stock up on an obnoxious amount of flannel

Make sure your flannel is sized to fit a Hemsworth brother instead of an average-sized college girl.

6. 6:30p.m. Make “fam” dinner with people who aren’t your actual family

You’ll probably cook pasta and catch it on fire. (I don’t know from experience or anything…).

7. 8:00p.m. Watch Nostalgic TV or Movies

Be sure to tell the people watching with you about how the song on the movie's soundtrack pulled you through seventh grade. Also, make a joke about the weird polo shirts.

8. 11:30p.m. Panic about schoolwork and don’t sleep until Thanksgiving

You shouldn’t even be reading this article. Stop procrastinating and study yourself into a coma.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
