Back-to-school season has always been my favorite time of the year. Maybe it was because I have always been a huge dork that loved school, or maybe just because deep down I knew that in the future, the fall semester of college would have so much more in store for me than the spring semester.
The tailgating.
Football is easily one of the best parts of college. Getting fans of all ages together to celebrate one thing you all love: your school!
Seeing all of your college friends again.
I don't really like getting all sentimental but I have to be honest, I miss all the new friends I made.
The fall weather.
Nothing screams beautiful like colorful leaves and the nice crisp air.
You're nice and tan from the summer.![]()
It's not like spring where you just came out of your winter hibernation, you are still sun kissed and have that bikini bod under that nice jacket.
The seasonal food.
Pumpkin spiced lattes, pumpkin bread, caramel apples, candy corn, squash soup. My mouth is already watering.
The outfits.
Flannels, leather boots, light jackets and ripped jeans are a lot more visually appealing than jean shorts where my butt is hanging out, and those crop tops that never should have really come back in style.
Homecoming.
Everyone knows college homecoming is just another great excuse to show a bunch of school spirit, and this time you don't have to attend some lame dance that is being chaperoned by your friend's mom while you awkwardly grind on Jim, the guy you sat next to in second period.
You've been so bored all summer so you're actually excited for schoolwork.
At least for me, I am so excited to have a busy schedule again because stalking my ex-boyfriend's second cousin on his mother's side once removed is getting kind of old.
I think we can all agree that the fall semester is greater than spring semester. So let us all rejoice that we can soon return to college and enjoy the best time of the year.
