16 Reasons Why Fall In College Is The Best Season Of The Year

In This Article:

Summer is officially over, and students are all moved in and reunited with their friends. Instead of sitting in 90-degree weather, students can chill in moderate weather and watch the leaves fall while wearing their favorite hoodie and spending time with friends. People underestimate fall because they are so used to spring semester. But what people are sleeping on is the number of fun things to do, places to go, and the thought of endless holidays and breaks. Here are just a few things as to why fall, especially in college, is a great season:

1. Going to college football games with your friends!

Giphy

To be honest, I don't know a thing about football, but as long as I'm with my friends, I'm always going to have fun. It's fun to laugh at idiots who start fights and admire the football players too.

2. Being able to bring out your old hoodies that you have been saving all summer.

Giphy

Hoodies + leggings + Uggs are a great everyday outfit for someone who doesn't feel like dressing up, but you'll look good at the same time.

3. UGG Boots

Giphy

Of course this was going on the list. What are you going to wear, sandals? (By the way, UGG boots are not meant to be worn in the snow, only fall. Please stop ruining your UGGs.)

4. County/State Fairs

Giphy

This is another reason why fall is one of the best seasons: funnel cakes, fried Oreos, fried cheesecake, and Ferris wheel rides. Talk about a good time!

5. Staying in during Daylight Savings Time and watching movies.

Giphy

Daylight Savings is a whole mood killer because the day basically ends at 5:30 p.m. But in order to make the best of it, I usually stay in and watch movies or spend time with my friends. It's better to watch a scary movie at 5 p.m. rather than 11 p.m. because you have enough time to get your mind off of it before you go to bed.

6. Halloween…college style.

Giphy

From dressing up like a weirdo to going to a college party and getting drunk while trick-or-treating, Halloween in college is the absolute best. This is also the time to make cookies and go to a haunted house if you want.

7. Watching the autumn leaves change colors.

Giphy

This may sound as boring as watching your fingernails grow, but what if I told you that it's the perfect background for your Instagram pictures? Plus, you can jump in a pile of leaves, too.

8. Pumpkin picking.

Giphy

Maybe you're not too fond of this, but then again, it's nice to decorate your dorm with some actual pumpkins.

9. Wearing makeup and nail polish that bring out the fall colors.

Giphy

This gives me the best excuse to wear burgundy, black, or purple.

10. Scarves and Thick Socks

Giphy

I'm telling you, I have almost every color scarf possible.

11. Opening your drawer full of 67 pairs of black leggings.

Giphy

Men always complain that we have the same pairs of leggings every day, but it's part of the outfit. No one is going to wear sweats or jeans every day.

12. Baking endless fall cookies

Giphy

I swear, this is 70% of the reason why I love fall. Making sugar cookies and baking pumpkin pies are the absolute best. And no one cares if you gain weight because you have a hoodie to hide behind.

13. Having the excuse to drink Hot Chocolate (….and pumpkin spice lattes).

Giphy

I don't have to explain this one. You guys get it. Plus, I would invest in getting essential oils for everything that is pumpkin scented so your room/apartment will smell nice.

14. Cuddling nights with your OTP.

Giphy

Especially because you will have some cold and rainy nights.

15. The thought of Thanksgiving break and other holidays.

Giphy

Pigging out on home-cooked meals and relaxing for a week is my type of vacation.

16. My Birthday of course!

Giphy

Of course I am saving the best for last. My birthday is around Thanksgiving weekend, so of course I am going to say that fall is the best!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
