fall semester top ten

This is just about the time of year when to-do lists start growing, some pimples start appearing, beach towels and swimsuits start getting packed up, stacks of books invade the dining table, and school lunches fill the fridge. BACK TO SCHOOL!! Bry and I are full swing into homework and school mode already, but are excited to experience another fall semester at the U... and a final year for me. :) 

Our top 10 reasons why school is  

way better in the fall:

1.   U T A H  F O O T B A L L !! And football season in general. This is seriously the #1 reason we love school most in the fall. Football season is the best distraction from school we’ve come up with.  Thank G O O D N E S S baseball season is almost over. Finally we can concentrate our efforts on a sport that’s actually fun to watch.

2.   Free food all over the place on campus: the Union tables, pancakes at the Institute, nurse recruiters bring more snacks, and best of all…free dinners at tailgate parties. Thanks Red Robin.

3.   Fall weather. Enough said there. No more days where you take off your backpack and have to tell people the, “oh, someone just dumped water down my back” excuse to cover for your growing sweat stain. 

4.   Students can say, “JUST MAKE IT ‘TIL CHRISTMAS!” That’s always the final goal in sight since it marks the end of fall semester. Anything involving Christmas makes the end come faster.

 

5.   You’ve come off of a long and fun summer break, so you’re somewhat ready to put your backpack on and start getting back into the swing of things.

6.     Cooler and cuddlier nights: your sleeping experience is guaranteed to be better in the fall. Okayyyy maybe that should be our #1.

7.     Season delicacies arise: soups, hot apple cider, basically anything pumpkin flavored, and best of all… hot cocoa. Enough said.

8.     Boots, socks, scarves, sweaters, and mittens.  C o m f o r t clothes.

9.     No shave November: I’m only writing this one for Bry. I wouldn’t say it’s MY favorite thing ever.

10.  The best holidays: starting with Bry’s birthday (which is in my top 2 holidays), you have Labor Day, Colombus Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas in the space of 5 months. Get out of work/school free cards? I’ll take ‘em. Plus, decorating for them is even more fun.

So right when you're about to complain about school this fall, give me a jingle.
