10 Reasons Why Fall Is The Best Season
Anton Dee

Summer fun has come to an end at last, which means it is time for the blossom of Autumn! Whether it be the excitement of cooler weather or the enjoyment of fall festivities, here are a few things that make me overjoyed that fall is quickly approaching!

1. The Weather Change

Summer heat, whether you suffer through dry heat or humidity, is finally over. Sweating season is over, and it's time to enjoy the cool breeze and the patter of soft spells of rain. The sun is bright, but doesn't beat down on your skin like it used to all summer long.


2. Vibrant Leaf Colors

Green turns to yellow, red, orange and brown. Trees in Autumn are simply magical. Forget the scientific reason as to why leaves change their colors during this time, just sit back and admire the pure beauty the fall colors look against the grayish-blue fall sky.


3. The Crisp Air

It's hard to describe the way the air seems to effect your senses. Your breathing is more clear, your eyesight seems to sharpen, and your sense of smell heightens. There's this distinct smell that shouts "FALL" when I breathe in the crisp-autumn air. It's definitely a drastic change to the thick air in summer.


4. Pumpkin Flavored Foods

Pumpkin is THE flavor of the season. Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin scones, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, you name it. Pumpkin flavored foods or drinks always taste 10x better around this season. Add a pinch of cinnamon for a burst of autumn flavor.

5. Pumpkin Patches

When you were a kid, pumpkin patches were everything. It was the ultimate destination to find the perfect pumpkin your parents had to carve the night before halloween. Nothing's really changed now that we're grown-up. Of course we will go to a patch and pick that perfectly round, or perfectly long pumpkin and take it home. The only thing that has changed is carving designs ourselves.


6. Hay Rides

You can't experience the joys of autumn without going on a hay ride. Tractors trailing behind a wooden cart full of barrels of hay for pure joy of those visiting a pumpkin patch or a fall party. The smell of hay during this time makes me anticipate pumpkin picking.


7. Halloween

Kids seem to enjoy this holiday a lot, mainly for the candy, but who wouldn't? Decorating houses in creepy, haunted-house decorations, ready for kids to knock on the door yelling "Trick-Or-Treat!" Halloween is fun for all ages. Since we are older, passing out candy for the kids in our neighborhoods brings a sense of joy, seeing their eyes wide with excitement (but honestly probably because of a sugar high).


8. Sweater Weather

Coming back to the weather changing, sweater weather is finally present. Snuggling in a warm fleece sweater, or simply a hoodie brings such delight. Forget staying warm, comfort always comes first when picking out that perfect sweater and matching scarf.


9. Thanksgiving

Getting together with family that you haven't seen in weeks, months, years even is always an event to look forward to. Giving thanks for everything you have, makes you appreciative of the world you live in. Oh, and the food is always AMAZING.


10. Looking Forward To The End Of The Year

Fall season always gets me overjoyed for the end of the year, for many reasons. The weather continues to stay cold, snow will make an appearance,there will be a break from school, and Christmas peeks around the corner. What more can you ask for when it comes to this wonderful season we call Fall.


Enjoy the perks of the best season of the year!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
