The autumn season in New England is very sentimental for many people. The leaves start to change to beautiful, vibrant colors. Bright oranges and golden yellows fill the treetops while deep reds and browns coat the ground. For fellow classmate Faith Manley, she always looks forward to fall.  

Many people tend to find this season to be very nostalgic or to be reminiscent of good times. It brings back memories of the holidays and times spent with loved ones. For Faith, she is reminded of her family. She says, “Fall is a very family-oriented time for me”. More specifically, Faith said, “I remember taking my little brother trick or treating and jumping in leaf piles with him.” These are some of her favorite fall memories.  

Apart from memories, the environment also plays a significant role in this season. As a fellow classmate, Faith was asked what she looks forward to the most about fall when it comes to being on campus. She said, “I am really excited about the trees changing on campus, it is going to be really pretty.” Many people would agree with Faith on this because the changing of the leaves signifies the start of fall and people’s excitement for the upcoming season. Everyone starts to put out their fall decorations and begin preparations for the holidays. Truly a beautiful time of year.
