The temperature drops around this time. It’ll dip into the 40’s tonight. It finally feels like Fall.

Fall Break is a major milestone–it’s when we get into our groove.

The dining halls clear out. Lines at Hill College House and 1920 Commons are shorter. You’ve either realized that Houston Market’s food is better or discovered where else to spend your hundreds of dining dollars. Maybe you just forgot about the meal plan altogether, with that stipend from your parents, and eat at the many campus restaurants.

Pottruck’s used less. People can’t seem to fit lifting weights and using the elliptical into any schedule. The course load, combined with your extracurricular activities, forced you to break that pledge of “I’ll hit the gym once a day.”

Class attendance shrinks. Is it the discovery of lecture notes online? Or the discovery that some lectures are pointless? Maybe you never went to class in the first place, so why start now?

Parties dull. After Fall Break you’ll rarely see a new face at frat parties. How boring. Maybe it’s the frosty temperatures that prevent careless frat-hopping. Way to meet new people.

Until next week, just enjoy your break.
