Being from California, I have never experienced the magical moment when the leaves change colors, and the air gets just a little bit colder. Since I was little, my falls have always been filled with warm weather and trips to the beach. So you can imagine my excitement when I finally got cold enough to wear my favorite sweater, and I walked outside to find red leaves dotting the usually green trees. Fall has officially reached the University of Iowa, and it is absolutely breathtaking. 

I hope everyone’s fall is as off to a wonderful start as mine!
