The Fall Season

Apparently in some places in this world, there are only two seasons in a year. These are very simply named: the dry season and the wet season.

Here in America, though, we've got the slightly more complicated system of four seasons. Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Why we can't just have a hot season and a cold season is beyond me, but whatever. It's what I grew up with, and I kind of like it.

Winter is great. As a native of Wisconsin, I have a +5 racial bonus against cold. I love chilly weather, I revel in it! I look forward to this season every year.

Spring is fantastic. Everything smells so fresh, and all around me things are coming to life again. My spirits always soar in this season.

Summer is fun. I have no classes, and I rarely work, Summer is an entire season of relaxing and taking it easy, two of my favorite activities. How could I not love Summer?

Then we come to Fall, the current season. And Fall is great for some very special reasons.

In the Fall I return to school. Back in high school this was a terrible proposition. Everyone treated me like crap in high school. But now I'm in college, and it's great! I can't seem to get through a Fall semester without making some new friends. And I get to go to new and interesting classes, and I always love to learn new things. Unless those things are math. Math is hard!

I also get to reconnect with all of my old friends, people I haven't seen all summer. Playing games, watching movies, even just hanging out... it's all good. New friends and old friends make Fall great!

Right now I'm going through a rough spot. Things aren't looking so bright in general. Tonight I almost let that bring down my opinion of an entire season, but thankfully I was able to take a step back from temporary problems and look at how I really see the season. Hopefully I get over this rough spot soon and can get on with enjoying my Fall!
