So yeah, yeah fall’s been great. The park between Drexel & Upenn is tastefully littered with red and orange leaves, you get to wear your cute boots and coats as you avoid the construction sites, and that never-ending coffee line for that special once-a-year flavor is the highlight of your day. I can easily see why people think fall is Au-tumn-mazing, but really, let’s move on with our lives already. In honor of the 11th month, I’ve come up with 11 reasons fall should get over itself and move on.
1. The weather is NOT like this, despite what Hollywood says.
It’s actually more like this:
(Thanks, Drexel. You know how to create wind tunnels better than any other school!)
2. “Pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks are better than life itself.”
We’ll just leave it at that.
3. Everyone acts like this is the first year with new fall fashion trends.
4. The new pledges can’t stop talking about how awesome sorority life is.
5. Those weird professor imitations everyone thinks they’re so good at are still happening. (Hint: you’re not).
6. The weather drops below 40 degrees at night, yet girls still wander around in miniskirts.
7. Everyone wants to share the lovey-dovey-ness of their new school year romances.
8. Instagram is filled with coffee pictures and trees followed by #fall #pumpkin #coldweather #warmfood
9. Then there’s the inevitable return of the t-shirts-with-leggings-and-Uggs outfit.
10. It’s week 8 and midterms still aren’t over.
11. Lists about fall continue to appear, seemingly into perpetuity….
So let’s all give a thumbs up to knowing winter is coming soon.
