Fall semester is right around the corner and I couldn’t be more happy. This joyful feeling I’m feeling now is something that I only feel once a year. I wish I could feel it twice a year, considering there’s two semesters in a year, but the spring semester brings me nothing but sadness and sorrow. I think everyone would agree with me, but in case you don’t, I’ll give you my reasons as to why I believe fall semester is better than spring semester.
1.) Everyone is Excited
The best part of the fall semester is that weird back to school feeling. There is this weird feeling of excitement that hits me hard when the new school year comes around and I really don’t know why, considering I don’t even like school. Maybe it’s the fact that I get to start from scratch and feel brand new. Maybe it’s because I get to see all of my friends again. Maybe it’s because I get to see the cutie that I have a crush on. Maybe it’s because I don’t have to follow the house rules of my strict parents. I don’t know why I get this excitement, but I definitely don’t mind it.
2.)Students Feel More Motivated
I feel like a lot of college students can relate to this feeling, but I get super motivated to do well in my classes every fall semester. Fall semesters tend to be my academically successful semesters, whereas spring semesters are my academically trash semesters. So the fall is when I feel motivated to boost my GPA and salvage any damage from the previous spring. Also the new school year just tends to feel more of a “new year” than New Year’s. Most of my goals and resolutions are made before my fall semester begins
3.) Fall Weather Beats Spring Weather
The weather might be my favorite part of the fall semester. It might be called spring semester, but half of that “spring” semester is technically winter. Nothing sucks the motivation out of me more than cold weather. Who likes going to class when it’s blistering cold??
4.) Fall Activities are better than Spring Activities
The fall semester definitely brings more fun things to do than spring. Aside from all the “welcome week” parties and school sponsored functions, there are many activities that I like to do in the fall. One of my favorite activities is just walking around the park and seeing all the beautiful trees, while the nice breeze hits my face. October in itself brings a whole handful of activities that I like to do as well. Pumpkin patches, pumpkin carving, watching scary movies, going to haunted mazes, and much more. Spring semester can’t compare.
5.) It’s Easier to Look Cooler in the Fall
One of the main reasons why I believe fall is better than spring is because everyone looks cooler. Who doesn’t like dressing up in stylish plaid flannels? A lot of people find the love of their lives in college. If you’re looking for the love of your life, looking cool and stylish might accelerate the process. Everyone is dressed up and looks nice and happy, so it definitely brings up the mood and energy around campus.
6.) Pumpkin Spice Latte
The best part of fall is the pumpkin spice latte. I drink like 3 cups of coffee a day, and if you’re a college student, you probably drink a lot of coffee too. When the fall semester comes around, the pumpkin spice latte is added to my rotation of 3 coffees a day. If you’ve never had a pumpkin spice latte, do yourself a favor and hit up your local Starbucks (Pumpkin Spice Lattes are usually sold starting late August).
