Fall is now in full force. Say goodbye to that last green leaf, because there isn’t much time left before it changes into an uglier and less cheerful color. People always talk about the winter blues, but the transition from summer to fall never fails to bum me out. I miss consistent 70-80 degree weather, being able to go outside in nothing more than shorts and a T-shirt, and the sun showing itself more than a few hours a week. For anyone else lamenting the change in seasons, take your mind off of those depressing thoughts with these entertaining and useful links for college students:
