Why Fall At Fairfield Is The Best

Fall is a time of falling leaves, the end of summer and going back to school for students across America. Now that summer is over, a lot of people have mixed feelings on fall with the amount of schoolwork and drops in temperature. However, I think that fall is the best season to be here at Fairfield. There are a lot of fun events on campus in the fall semester, not to mention the beautiful weather and scenery on campus. Here are a few reasons why fall is the best time to be at Fairfield.

1. The foliage


It is definitely not something you can experience throughout the rest of America. There is nothing like New England foliage in the fall and it is especially beautiful here in Stag Country.

2. The weather

Fall weather is not everyone's cup of tea, but it is beautiful none the less. It is not too hot and not too cold.

3. Fall clothing

For me, one of the best parts of fall is obviously sweater weather. Whether it's dressing for class at Fairfield or dressing up on the weekend, fall fashion always has a lot to offer.

4. Boot season

Who doesn't love wearing boots in the fall especially at Fairfield? It completes the perfect fall outfit.

5. Apple/pumpkin picking

Going apple picking or pumpkin picking is a must-do for everyone during the fall. There are a lot of great places to go in the Fairfield area as well.

6. Fall foods

The first thing that comes to mind for me is Apple Cider Donuts, but there are also many other yummy fall treats to indulge in all season long.

7. PSL

Calling all basic white girls — it is that time of year again. For those who aren't coffee fans, a PSL is a pumpkin spice latte; definitely a fall staple.

8. The events on campus

There are a lot of fun things to do on campus in the fall at Fairfield like Prez Ball and Red Sea Madness. We all have to take advantage before the cold weather strikes our campus.

9. Going into the city during the nice weather

There is nothing better than NYC in the fall. We are a quick train ride away from one of the best cities on Earth — what could be better?

10. Being able to go into town with no snow on the sidewalks

Downtown Fairfield is a popular hangout for all Stags. It is a great place to go and spend some time there during the nice weather.

11. Halloween

Halloween is absolutely one of the best parts of fall. Getting dressed up in different costumes is always so much fun and a great time to spend with friends.

What are your favorite parts of fall at Fairfield?

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
