Fall is overratedand I am not just talking about the hyped up Pumpkin Spice Latte. Here are the top 5 reasons people should rethink their love for autumn.

1. Flu Season

Living in a college dorm with many teenagers means I’m susceptible to uncontrollable germs and bacteria. Being sick is never fun to begin with, but being sick when you have meetings, work, and finals is even worse.

2. Gloomy rainy days

When the weather is down pouring rain outside, this makes you want to stay in bed to curl up and not do anything. If you venture outside, your clothes get drenched and not to mention you get that uncomfortable "wet sock" feeling if you forget your rain boots.

3. Midterm Season

Stress, confusion, and frustration—these are all adjectives to describe the emotional rollercoaster students suffer through during the midterm season that never seems to end.

4. Shorter Days and Less Daylight

I am a fan of the daytime. Therefore, seeing the sky pitch black after leaving your 5 PM lecture is completely disorientating.

5. Overcast and Cold Weather

Although I hate the heat wave, at the end of the day I am still a California girl who needs her sunlight and considers temperature under 50 degrees as “freezing.”

Once again, Fall is overrated.
