Four Essentials for Fall 2016

Melody A. Chang Student Contributor, University of California - Berkeley
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UC Berkeley chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

Despite the fact that this past week has been hotter than Berkeley’s entire summer, it is officially Autumn. Most of us will be bumping into midterm season but even so, there’s no neglecting the fact that fall demands a bit of attention.

 

1. Satin Bomber Jackets

Popular among trendy Youtubers such as Carli Bybel and Vivian Vo-Farmer, this is the easiest way to play up any outfit, whether it be sweats and a white tee or a mini-dress. Dusty pink and olive green are the fall colors to pursue!

2. Amazing Autumn Vibes

Soundcloud? Spotify? It may be a big debate for some but regardless of who your contender is, invest time to find a playlist that gets you motivated. For some rising artists, give LéON and Jon Bellion a chance.

3. Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice EVERYTHING

The Trader Joe’s on Shattuck has it all, already. Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Butter, Pumpkin Biscottis, Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Macarons. All under $5, Trader Joe’s got your back this season.

 

4. Football Spirit!!

This is the ultimate method of enjoying yourself while getting back into the groove of school. Pick up some passes soon and attend a game day with your best friends. Classic street food, unforgettable company, and the most enthusiasm you’ll ever experience. What tops that? Buy tickets for the game against Utah, at 3:00pm on October 1st.

UC Berkeley '19

As a senior undergraduate, I seek out all opportunities that expand my horizons, with the aim of developing professionally and deepening my vision of how I can positively impact the world around me. While most of my career aims revolve around healthcare and medicine, I enjoy producing content that is informative, engaging, and motivating.  In the past few years, I have immersed myself in the health field through working at a private surgical clinic, refining my skills as a research assistant in both wet-lab and clinical settings, shadowing surgeons in a hospital abroad, serving different communities with health-oriented nonprofits, and currently, exploring the pharmaceutical industry through an internship in clinical operations.  Career goals aside, I place my whole mind and soul in everything that I pursue whether that be interacting with patients in hospice, consistently improving in fitness PR’s, tutoring children in piano, or engaging my creativity through the arts. Given all the individuals that I have yet to learn from and all the opportunities that I have yet to encounter in this journey, I recognize that I have much room and capacity for growth. Her Campus is a platform that challenges me to consistently engage with my community and to simultaneously cultivate self-expression.
