It's the seasonal act: Leaves detach from trees with a last flaming breath, dry wind chills your throat and chest and the sun sets quickly towards the heavens, leaving us aching for more of its intangible warmth. There is an emptiness in fall, yet its warmth is immortalized in the digital world. We post pictures and videos of the season online, but they can’t replenish the trees left barren. They only serve as a reminder of what once was. For some, the pains of seasonal change are eased through music. “So I,” track nine from CharliXCX’s critically acclaimed “BRAT”, encapsulates this tension. CharliXCX, with the help of A.G. Cook, processed grief through music.
Since our first day in freshman year, we familiarized ourselves with the campus layout — navigating to classes, planning out the fastest routes and utilizing bikes and skateboards to help us hurry between buildings.

These are our new old friends: the public art collection of Middlebury College.

When I was in middle school, my travel soccer coach told me to stop “playing scared.” I kept playing scared, so I quit soccer and inevitably became a runner. Yet there is plenty to be scared of in cross country and track, and soon I learned that you generally can’t outrun your fears in sports. In honor of Halloween, The Campus spoke with some of Middlebury’s athletes to highlight these various sporting fears.
