To me, fall is so nostalgic. It\u2019s the only season out of the four that makes me feel like the best version of myself, and maybe that\u2019s because it brings out some of my early impressive scenes in me. I can still remember the smell and scenes on campus of MSU when I first arrived in fall, some 20 years back. Maybe my love for fall goes beyond the fact that I am an October baby; it is the mindset of fall makes me feel good both mentally and physically, not to mention the combination of crunching leaves under my boots, the Halloween sugar high to come, and the building anticipation for upcoming holidays, all of which share one common feature: They remind me so much of my past, of some of the best times I\u2019ve ever had in my life. Fall allows me a second, third, fourth, umpteenth chance to relive those precious moments of my youth in adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls loop muted poster=\"http:\/\/new.guofucourses.cn\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/4b95e6632f79371dc6c877262ab7d268.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/new.guofucourses.cn\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/60-Seconds-of-Spartan-Autumn-_-Michigan-State-University.mp4\" playsinline><\/video><figcaption><em>60 Seconds of Spartan Autumn (adapted from msu.edu)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s that time of the year again.
