How To Properly Enjoy Fall Weather
“A College Newspaper That’s Actually About College”
Will Holloman wrote this “The leaves they are a-fallin’” —Bob Dylan. Yes, it’s that time of year and no one could’ve said it better than Bob himself (I say “Bob” because were pretty goods friends and one day at lunch Bob was all, “Hey can you just call me ‘Bob’ instead of ‘Bob Dylan?’ I mean, I’m a person too”). Anywho, it’s fall and there’s some great festivities to be had, so let’s fall right into this. With all these leaves blanketing the ground, it’s time to grab the neighborhood kids because its time to go rapi-- raking! You heard it, folks; it’s time to gather your friends and get some gang raking started. Anybody who’s anybody knows that raking is the coolest thing to do since, oh, I don’t know, the end of the Cold War. Let me tell you a bit about raking: You can rake in circles, you can rake in squares, you can rake with your roommate, you can rake in the dark, you can rake your neighbor’s lawn, you can even rake your friends. Shoot, well…that’s um, enough of that. Well, there are still other fantastically fantastic things to do in this season of giving. Oh, so there’s this thing, you know, it’s called a CARAMEL APPLE. If you haven’t had one, then you’re pretty pathetic. Here’s how you have a caramel apple: First, you go apple picking with your favorite dad (be sure to have “tons o’ fun” during this part or else the apple won’t taste as good). On the way home be sure to stop off at the local grocery store and get some caramel in a jar. Whatever you do, don’t buy the caramel candy that’s like, really hard and individually wrapped…I shouldn’t have to explain why. Once you’re home, take the caramel and the apples and dump them into a big bowl and start mixing it all with your hands. Make sure that you and your

dad take turns licking the caramel off each other’s fingers periodically and then return to mixing everything. After about an hour of mixing and licking, its time to eat your special treat that you made with father-son love. Grab an ice cream cone from the cabinet, scoop yourself a nice caramel apple and start lickin’. This is where the whole “loving and sharing with your dad” thing stops and you can enjoy the treat without feeling so. so, so, loved. There are plenty of other things to do to get into the spirit of fall, and I almost forgot to share the most important one of all: Falling. People celebrate Christmas by going Christmasing and singing songs to all of the neighbors with their friends and family, so why not celebrate fall by falling? Think of this as the next best thing since planking. Yeah, laying flat somewhere for someone to find you is pretty cool, but how about collapsing right there in front of everyone, for the entire season? I can’t say, “booyah” hard enough. Try it out for yourself, man: You’re walking to class with a friend and they’re all like “So, I was reading my biology assign—” and all of a sudden you collapse. Or try scenario number two: You’re longboarding with all your bro friends and they’ll yelling really cool things like, “Aww wicked sick shit man, I totally just—” and all of a sudden you fall and they’re all “WTF MAN WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF THAT TRICK?” You can even get crazy and try falling in front of oncoming cars! So folks, now you have a reason to stop playing Madden 12 and get outside and enjoy this fine fall season.
