SHU students are welcoming the fall season with music, movies, and seasonal treats that reflect the spirit of autumn. The cooler weather has inspired many students to update their playlists, snuggle up with their favorite shows, and engage in seasonal activities.
Junior Jack Cote shared that his music preferences change with the seasons. “Music that I listen to in the fall varies, but I tend to lean toward indie folk artists like Mumford & Sons, Gregory Alan Isakov, and the Lumineers,” said Cote.
Cote also enjoys revisiting movies and shows that feel very autumnal. “I always rewatch ‘Knives Out’ come fall time, and anything Snoopy-related,” said Cote.
When it comes to food, Cote has a clear favorite. “I love an apple cider donut with coffee,” said Cote. For him, fall is also a time to enjoy the outdoors. “My favorite fall activity would have to be going for a run on a trail when the leaves begin to change.”
Junior, Katherine Luther, has her own set of fall preferences. “My go-to fall music is usually anything by The Neighborhood, while I’ve also been listening to the album Immunity by Clairo a lot,” said Luther.
When it comes to fall television, “‘Gilmore Girls’ is an easy answer. It’s the ultimate fall show, and nothing beats it.”
Luther and her roommates have been exploring fall-inspired recipes, bringing a cozy atmosphere to their apartments. “Recently, my roommates and I have enjoyed trying new fall recipes, like apple crisp and banana chocolate chip muffins. Trader Joe’s also has a lot of solid fall snacks,” said Luther.
When it comes to seasonal activities, Luther loves traditional fall pleasures that get her in the autumn spirit. “I’m a big fan of carving pumpkins once it gets closer to October and drinking iced pumpkin chai from Starbucks if that counts,” she said.
From relaxing with favorite shows and seasonal foods to exploring the outdoors and listening to music that matches the autumn vibe, SHU students are getting creative in their ways to celebrate the upcoming fall season.
