We’ve all been there — 9 a.m. on a Monday, just trying to make it through your first class of the day that, as a result of your poor planning skills and slow reflexes, happens to be a completely unnecessary discussion section. It’s fine for the first five minutes while your TA shuffles papers and 20 other pairs of eyebags settle into their chairs. And then the peaceful silence of the class is bombarded by That One Kid Who Won’t Just Shut Up.

As the weather gets crisper and the leaves turn into alluring shades of crimson, copper and gold on Grounds, a feeling of melancholy and dread sets in. There are treacherous waters ahead — finals, cramming and Thanksgiving. So, while the fall season is traditionally associated with cheerful mainstays like pumpkins, cider, turkey and football, it also signifies a season of change.

Cooler weather brings many fun fall activities to Grounds, especially during Halloween.

As the leaves turn shades of red, yellow and orange around Grounds and temperatures begin to cool, it’s evident that autumn is here. And while we are still sorting our candy from Trick or Treating on the Lawn, we are looking forward to returning home in a few weeks to spend time with loved ones and indulge in a home-cooked meal. However exciting this anticipation is, planning for Thanksgiving Break is a strenuous task that the University has only made worse with its lack of flexibility and accommodations for students. The University’s current schedule for the holiday leaves faculty and students at both an economic and academic disadvantage. Leadership must consider changing this schedule in future years to support the geographically diverse student body while continuing to promote academic success.
