Fall is in the Air
Hello everyone!
The recent (and rather abrupt) change in seasons has made me realize how quickly this semester has been going by. For me, this is a rather bittersweet feeling, as this will be my last fall semester! Don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait to graduate, but I will also miss all the experiences I’ve had over the past four years.
With that said, some of my best memories from UT have come in fall. I can honestly say that this is my favorite time of the year. Here are some of my favorite things about fall:
-UT football games
-The opportunity to break-out my favorite coat and fall wardrobe
-The absolute perfect temperature (my body runs a bit warmer than most)
-Homecoming
-Bonfires
-Halloween!!!!!!
-And most underrated, the crisp, fall air that seems to put that extra jump in your step
In addition to all those great things, fall break is almost here! Most people take this opportunity to go home before the madness of midterms begin but I think I’m going to take the time off work and class to catch up on some reading and enjoy some other great fall activities. If you are looking for a good book or if you are interested in philosophy, I’d recommend Robert M. Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Considered by many to be one of the greatest philosophy books written in the past half-century, this book serves as a meditation on how to live better through the narration of a father and son’s motorcycle trip across northwest America.
In addition to great books, fall seems to put people in the mood for movies. I cannot begin to express my excitement for the Oct. 16 premier of “Where the Wild Things Are.” If you are around my age, there is a good chance that this was one of your favorite childhood books. In addition to looking like an overall amazing movie and being directed by Spike Jonze, it’s playing in IMAX theatres!
Before you go home for fall break, come join me Thursday, Oct. 1, from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. for the FIJI (Phi Gamma Delta) Farmers Breakfast at the Alpha Chi Omega house In McComas Village. Partial proceeds from the eggs, sausage and hash brown dinner will benefit the American Red Cross.
To buy a pre-sale ticket for $4, leave me a comment or you can buy a ticket at the door for $5.
Hope to see you there!
