For nearly four years, after long sessions in any number of hidey-holes where I pretend to do work, I have traipsed home in the dark. This is hardly unique at Middlebury, upon Davis’ closing at 12:00 a.m., students stream out of the building, returning to their dormitories like careworn monks. A late-night stroll home has been a standard at our college for over 200 years, a tradition that has been similarly observed at countless other institutions around the world.

There are many rites of passage that come along with becoming a Middlebury student: an overstimulating orientation week, your first year roommate, the first winter day in single digit temperatures when you realize what you’re really in for. However, another less obvious rite of passage that I think of is your first walk into town on a beautiful Saturday and stumbling into the Middlebury Natural Foods Co-op (MNFC) for the first time.

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. As we trace our familiar routes to class each week, we might notice some hidden artworks around campus — statues in steel, bronze or aluminum, blending into the background, forming unique landscapes as the seasons change. 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.
