Hi, I'm Fall semester, and yes I AM trying to kill you : )

Summer semester left fast. It was easily one of the most enjoyable summers of my life. In the place of nice, slow, free , relaxed, joyful, benevolent(too much?) summer , came her jealous sister fall. Now don't get me wrong fall is beautiful and the weather is actually better in my opinion, since your'e not sweating buckets when your'e walking across campus and then having to deal with the awkward back sweat stain that your backpack gives you, BUT fall is also , by its very nature, evil. It comes in with an attitude, expecting you to just hand over your short lived summer freedom. No longer can you not study and ace tests, no longer can you stay out to the wee hours of the morning with no worries about tomorrow, gone are the days where when we could sit under Grandmother Willow on Heritage lawn and stare at the stars and talk about nothing till we had something to say. Yes, now all that has been replaced by hours spent in the library studying from sun up to sun down ( true story), more hours in the Chem lab ( the people there are actually very funny and non-Chemitry-esque), followed by more hours of reading and writing. Fall's tyranny is in full swing. She's taken all that was good in summer. We used to be able to walk into the Cougareat and sit anywhere we wanted to , with no concern for lines or crowds. Fall has ensured that we will never experience again. There are lines for everything. The bathroom, the pencil sharpener, to get into class and ( the one I find most perverse) the testing center. What is fall's motivation? I think she's trying to get as few people as she can to be at all happy. Sound like someone else we know ? (Lucifer! I'm just saying...)
