October is finally here! The leaves are changing colors and the air is getting a little chillier. While September has the mix of summer days and cooler nights, October is where the highlight of fall is. There’s so much you can finally do this month. So, here’s why October should be your favorite month of the year.
You can finally wear that cute jacket or scarf you’ve been dying to wear.
Go ahead and show it off, girl! Now that it’s a little cooler outside, you won’t have to worry about sweating so much while wearing your favorite jacket or scarf. You can be cozy and cute in it all day.
Pumpkin. Spice. Everywhere.
October is when your pumpkin spice high is at it’s peek. Pumpkin spice coffee, pumpkin spice scented candles, and pumpkin spice creamer. Everything you see and hear is pumpkin spice!
Apple Cider is bae.
Speaking of flavored drinks, October is not complete without having apple cider at your disposal. It doesn’t matter if you have to grab some from your dining hall or hand make it from actual apples. One sip of apple cider is all you need to get your day going. Don’t forget to get an apple cider donut to go along with it!
All those days off from school will refresh you.
Depending on what school you attend, many schools will recognize Rosh Hashana, Columbus Day, and/or Yom Kippur as a holiday. It’s a great time to go home for the weekend, travel , or stay in bed all day.
Halloween!
October is just not October without Halloween. Whether you celebrate Halloween by heading out to a party in your best costume or staying in to watch scary movies (or not so scary movies) with your friends, you just can’t say no to this holiday. Still don’t like Halloween? I have one word that may convince you: CANDY!
Hockey season is here!
That’s right! The Men’s Ice Hockey season at SUNY Oswego is just days away. Whether it’s your first game or you’ve gone to every game since your freshman year, October is THE official start of ice hockey season. While the big Whiteout game against Plattsburgh isn’t until February this season, the first game of the year is October 22nd against the CCHL All-Graduate Team. Let’s go, Lakers!
October has so much to offer so go out and enjoy the month!
