Like at all colleges, fall at Furman University is one of the BUSIEST times of first semester; mid-terms are in full swing, almost every upperclassman girl is in search of a semi-formal date, and the application process for just about EVERYTHING- study-away May Experiences, summer internships, grad school- has just begun. Luckily, fall is also one of the most pleasant times of the year, especially in the Upstate of South Carolina. That said, here are a few ways to enjoy your fall at Furman!
1. Participate in Homecoming! *See last blog post… Homecoming at Furman is AMAZING!
2. Go apple picking (and take cute photos). Your Instagram game will be ON POINT!
3. Watch Halloweentown with your friends. Seriously. You will bond over childhood memories.
4. Dress up for Halloween. You will not look stupid, I promise. Especially if you plan matching costumes with your bestie 😉
5. Drink as many PSL’s as you can before they are no longer in season! Do not waste this opportunity!
6. The more bonfires you attend, the happier you will be. This is a proven fact.
7. Plan a Thanksgiving dinner with your residence hall. My hall did this my freshman year and it was totally awesome! Who knew the boys actually know how to cook?
8. Spend time with your family over Thanksgiving Break. You MUST fight the temptation to lock yourself in your room and study the entire time.
9. Remember to bring back all of your oversized sweaters, fuzzy socks, and winter coats. You will need these during the treacherous month of December.
10. Start studying for finals. NOW. I promise you will thank me later!
