Although I tend to skip straight to Christmas in November, fall in Hamilton is hard to beat. The colorful leaves on the trees, the crisp air, the farmer’s market, Flour & Salt’s chaider… it’s all about romanticizing your life, especially when the temperatures start to drop. One of my favorite ways to romanticize walking around campus and studying is listening to a solid fall playlist. “Fall music” is subjective, but I lean towards cozy, folksy, mellow, and nostalgic music during this time. There’s a little bit of everything in here.
I present you 30 of my favorite songs from my fall playlist,

If you enjoyed some of these songs and artists, check out the link to Spotify here to listen to the whole thing! This playlist is the best to listen to in between classes, doing work in the Coop, or even when you’re getting ready in the morning. It can be easy to fall into the stress of work during this time with course registration, internship searching, and finals looming over your head. I suggest carving 30 minutes to an hour out of your day, turning on some music, and going for a run or walk through town.
