There is absolutely no doubt that fall is one of the most anticipated seasons of them all. With its many festivals and fun holidays, the unique flavors that are associated solely with autumn, and the newfound coziness to the atmosphere, fall is a remarkable season. In addition to the obvious perks of fall, there are many great reasons why college students should specifically be excited for fall, as listed in this article.
1. The return of cozy sweaters, sweatshirts, and sweatpants
When it comes to a college student's wardrobe, comfort is almost always the first priority and fall's temperatures cater perfectly to these needs.
2. With fall closing in, you are that much closer to the many breaks from school
The beginning of the school year can often be overwhelming, so with fall starting up, the impending fall break, Thanksgiving break, and winter breaks are the lights at the end of the tunnel.
3. Pumpkin Spice gives us yet another reason to drink coffee
Although I personally think apple cider trumps anything pumpkin spice, I can't deny that nothing beats a warm pumpkin spice coffee to make you feel cozy on a fall day and help give you that much needed caffeine buzz.
4. Fall means football!
College football is its own culture and is no doubt one of the biggest plus sides of the arrival of fall (Go Bucks!).
5. Halloween, aka one of the greatest college events of the year, is right around the corner.
Although all holidays are amazing for their own reasons, there is something about being on a college campus on Halloween that is extra festive and inevitably a good time.
6. No more sweat from long walks across campus combined with heavy backpacks.
These walks can be excruciating when you are also carrying your weight in textbooks, and the cool air of fall will be a very welcome reprieve from these temperatures.
7. Channel your inner child by going to an apple orchard and/or a pumpkin patch.
Everyone enjoys these fun activities that pretty much sum up the entire season of fall, so it is a perfect oppurtunity to get off campus and channel your childhood autumn memories.
8. Campuses in fall are inevitably beautiful.
Nothing makes those 8am walks through campus better than the beauty of fall leaves.
