My Fall Playlist

For college students, fall might mean stress from heightening coursework, the disappointment of chillier weather, and looming finals around the corner. But with its beautiful foliage and nostalgic activities, the season is one of my favorites, especially on Wake’s scenic campus.

The best way to maintain the spirit of fall amidst the stress of college, in my experience, is to romanticize it. Put on your favorite sweater, step out on a walk, and put on some folksy tunes. Here are some songs that I’ve been listening to recently and that you should add to your fall playlist!
