Fall is one of the best seasons of the year. There’s Halloween, Thanksgiving, apple picking, pumpkin carving, etc. If you live in New England, you’ll see trees turn from Kelly green to vivid reds, oranges, and yellows. Dunkin’ Donuts brings back pumpkin spice coffee and apple cider. With all of these changes comes the worst change of all: the weather. Sunny and 75 degrees changes to windy and 45 degrees (but feels like 35). Figuring out what to wear is almost as difficult as Organic Chemistry.
You start the morning by waking up for your 9 a.m. class. You are greeted as you walk out the door with a wall of forceful, frigid wind. You battle your way to class. By the time you reach your destination, your hair is a tangled mess.
An hour later, you walk out of class to a beautiful sunny fall day. The wind that assaulted you earlier has disappeared and the sweater you put on when you left your room is now too hot and bulky, so you have to trudge back and change.
After your last class is over at 4 p.m., you walk outside to a torrential downpour. The weather didn’t even call for rain but alas, this is New England and the weather does whatever it wants. The second you reach your dorm, now drenched and freezing, the rain immediately stops and rays of sunshine shoot through the clouds and a beautiful rainbow appears.
At 7 p.m., you start to head to dinner. You walk outside and somehow it is snowing. It was 60 degrees earlier in the day but that does not matter to New England weather. Mother Nature decided to ruin everyone’s lives a month early with this unseasonable precipitation.
Throughout this single day, you have changed your outfit three times. No matter how hard you try, you'll never figure out a pattern to fall weather. Just allot yourself enough time to change outfits in between classes.
