Summertime is quickly coming to a close. The hot and humid months will be leaving us shortly to be replaced with cool temperatures and beautiful scenery. For most people, school is starting up again as they are reunited with friends they have not seen since May. Our favorite football teams are training hard for the upcoming season, and every store we know and love is switching their merchandise to chunky sweaters and tall boots. Sooner than later, the leaves around us will start changing into their crisp autumn colors and the air will loose its humidity and walking outside becomes a bit more bearable.
With all of the great things that fall brings, I believe that this year, the one thing that I am going to miss the most is going back to school at Michigan State University. The times there in the fall alone were some of my most favorite times throughout college. Whether it was tailgating at the early hours of the morning, or watching the colors around me change when I would walk to class, Michigan State provided me with so many fall memories. Michigan State has the prettiest campus year round, hands down, but the way the campus looks in the fall is unbelievable compared to anything else. As the seasons go by, there is scenery unlike any other.
Fall is filled with all sorts of great things to do. For the fours years that I lived in Michigan, I realized how much more there was to do when the fall season rolled around. Fall in Michigan was my favorite time of year (besides the time around Christmas when everyone gets festive as f**k). There are football games and cheering on MSU (or one of the other teams) to their victory. Fall is a time where students reunite and get together to cheer on the team that they love to represent so much.
As a recently graduated Michigan State student, it pains me in a sense to see everyone go back. At this time, someone else has moved in my house that I shared with three amazing and crazy roommates. My room is now occupied by someone else who gets to take advantage of the location and ability to have a party whenever she wants. I wish so much that I could drive my stuff back to school and start a new year over. Post-graduate life has not proved negative, but the freedom and ability to be a kid-like-adult at school is always going to be one of my fondest memories of being at school. The fall brings a lot of things to life, but it always brought happiness and the time for a new year of school, making friends, keeping my old ones, and having an amazing time with amazing people.
