It is August and you know what that means, we are super close to back to school. Get pumped because before you know it, all the hoos will be returning to hooville.

1. The Fall Semester is the best

All the new baby hoos running around figuring out college makes me nostalgic for first year when the magic of UVa was still fresh and new.

2. The lawn

Fall photoshoots on the lawn, though basic, show just how gorgeous the University of Virginia is. UVa was meant for the fall and the beautiful scenery reminds me of how lucky I am to go to such an amazing school.

3. Friends

For real though, I am sure everyone misses his or her friends. Whether you are a part of Greek life, an active volunteer, a member of a club, etc I am sure you are dying to get back to your circle of friends.

4. Miss Kathy

While the food might not be the best (is actually the worst), Miss Kathy’s smiling face and words of encouragement make going to the dining hall worthwhile. Miss Kathy is a gem and makes us hoos feel like we can do anything.

5. Clem

Oddly enough I miss Clemons Library. There is just something about crying at 2:30 am with your friends over that paper you should have started earlier that makes college, college.

6. The Corner

I am dying to get back to UVa to hit up all my favorite places to eat on the corner like Bodos, The Virginian, and Boylan.

7. Football Season

Win or lose, college football is an experience. I can’t wait to tailgate.

8. Apple Picking

I can’t wait to get some Carter’s Mountain Apples. If you haven’t gone apple picking before, it is a must.

9. Class

As nerdy as it sounds, I am excited to get back to class. Once you figure out your major and what you want to do, class is pretty enjoyable and actually interesting.

10. The Good Old Song

I really miss singing The Good Old Song at everything and every chance I get.
