What's your favorite thing about fall?
For the surveys, we contacted 411 faculty, of whom 39 responded, and 2,827 students, of whom 284 responded. Because the sample sizes are not representative, we did not calculate statistical significance for either the faculty survey or student survey, both of which were sent via email last weekend. Responses were considered through Wednesday.

Learn a ton of languages! And we mean really learn, not just memorize the foreign sex phrases and pick-up lines in Urban Outfitters books. Watch every episode of "Law and Order: SVU" in order, if only to pick up on instances of subtle sexual tension between Stabler and Benson. Memorize an infinite amount of inane trivia to finally best that smug Ken Jennings (and Watson) on "Jeopardy." Do your laundry, vacuum and go to the gym. Come on guys, the basics. Go through the Buzzfeed archives and read every list in history. Corgis in sweaters and Beyonce gifs never get old.
"The Color of Friendship," an intense reflection on race relations and Apartheid that offered a lot more than your average Disney Channel Original Move. "Fern Gully: The Last Rainforest." As obvious as the overwhelming environmental message was, we might have missed it as kids. It was "Avatar" before anyone had bright blue side-boob. "Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century," even if the hit single "Zoom Zoom Zoom" by Protozoa isn't as great as we remember. "The Sandlot." You're killing me, Smalls! "Space Jam." No explanation needed.
"Heathers," the '80s cult classic high school drama features some of the best hair and best outfits ever shown in feature-length film. "Drop Dead Gorgeous," a mockumentary about beauty pageant contestants in Minnesota. Strong enough accents to keep you laughing through the cold. "The Day After Tomorrow," a disaster flick starring Jake Gyllenhaal that shows that things could always get worse, weather-wise. "Jaws," a movie scary enough to require a cuddle buddy while simultaneously reminding you that you're not always missing out when you're not at the beach. "10 Things I Hate About You," because every cold day needs a happy ending. Preferably featuring Heath Ledger.
Freshman pregames and an uncanny, and yet unfortunately short-lived, ability to guzzle $5 vodka from plastic bottles. Getting care packages from our parents. Fun fact: Priya once received a care package filled entirely with almonds and socks. Doing readings on time, going to office hours and just generally caring about classes. Bonus points for sitting in the first three rows of a gigantic lecture hall... and for even showing up at all. Being horrifically bad at pong, when it was kind of funny and excusable and you're not an embarrassment to your fraternity (hi, Jay). Having a UGA to host floor meetings, make BFAB and be our part-time therapist and/or life planner.
Bring the Keg Jump back. Have you seen the YouTube videos? Haze the crap out of the freshmen by forcing them to run around a giant bonfire. Oh wait... Move Winter Carnival to the summer, Brazil-style. In preparation, build a beach off of the Connecticut River to accompany it. Green Key nope, we wouldn't change a thing. Insert a new big weekend just for upperclassmen during Orientation week, comprising several days of absolutely nothing and culminating in a school-wide Capture the Melon competition. Free T-shirts for all!
You go to the Heorot highlighter party. Some freshman sets off the alarm by going out the front door of 1902. You check your phone and it's 2:11 a.m. Lose your jacket with your keys, phone, wallet, passport, a family heirloom and your dignity. You leave the highlighter party alone.
