The weather is beautiful right now isn’t it?! I hear students expressing their love for the current temperatures all day long. As we all know, however, this is Arkansas. This won’t last long, unfortunately. So let’s take advantage of it while it’s here, before the cold winds and icy plants thrust us quickly into winter.
1. One of the greatest ways to take on the season in full is to go camping. Even if you’re not sleeping outside, just to start a fire and grab a guitar with some friends and take a sweet inhale of the crisp fall air is enough.
2. Something easy: just open your windows! In your dorm or in your car, let the nice air and autumn smells satisfy you even when you can’t be out in it.
3. How about a picnic? Try even just a quick decision to enjoy your lunch outside. The sun is just warm enough and the trees keep you cool. The insects are way less intense compared to summer and the great weather will probably make your sandwich somehow taste that much better.
4. Use it to your advantage! This is perfect inspiration living in nature, right outside your door! If you’re an artist, paint or draw a recreation of what you see. Writers can gain great material from observing senses outdoors. Even an amateur can embrace the beauty. Grab a camera and capture what you see.
5. On campus it is as simple as grabbing a book and heading outside. Find a nice tree to lean up against or take advantage of the beautiful spots for sitting around campus. If you must, take some homework. There’s no reason not to use the sweet fall air to offset the obnoxious amount of homework and studying we have hanging over us.
6. Why not take a break from mid-terms and take a quick trip down to Craighead Park? Have some fun and play. Swing or run or even play in the leaves, just don’t waste it!
