As the seasons change and temperatures begin to drop, people’s interests begin to change with it. The main aspects that change about people are their activities and how they choose to spend their time with the people they love.
Nayla Brown, 11th-grade Lakeside student, states that, “I like doing fall-related activities with my friends and girlfriend. We binge fall and Halloween movies at our friends’ houses and make fall-themed treats.”
Students feel strongly about what they wear, how they wear it, and where they wear it. Niylah Bagley, 11th grader, states that, “My fall clothes make me feel warm, and like I’m in a cozy environment. I prefer fall over summer because I am not hot, and I get to express myself more.”
When asked, “What activities do you enjoy doing with a loved one during the fall season?” Niylah states, “I like going to Six Flags during the fall season while Fright Fest is going on.”
Fall is a joyous time for all, including teachers. One teacher I am focusing on today is Mrs. Boggs. I asked Mrs. Boggs what type of activities she enjoyed doing during this fall season with her toddler, Lily Boggs. S
he said, “We took her to the aquarium, and she enjoyed it until the dolphins showed up. It was loud and dark in the room, and Lily did not like dark things at all. We also took her on a tour of Atlanta and showed her famous spots like the Varsity.”
When it comes to fall holidays, such as Thanksgiving, they start to become a trending topic, and many people celebrate differently depending on their own culture or background. Siddh Pattel, 11th states, “I celebrate Thanksgiving by eating chicken from a restaurant called Dave’s Hot Chicken. I don’t celebrate normal Thanksgiving.”
Another student, Abiy Abera, a 10th grader, states, “I celebrate Thanksgiving by having a large dinner with my immediate family. I’m Ethiopian, but I eat regular American Thanksgiving food.”
Holidays are a big part of changing seasons, such as fall, although fall is not just about Thanksgiving. Fall consists of fun activities, cooler weather, fashion-forward trends, delicious food, and spending time with family and friends!
What will you choose to do this fall season?
