Eagle High students love the four seasons that Idaho has to offer. The topic of contention is which one is superior to the other. The debate between fall and spring has been ongoing, and many students have valuable input on the topic. Whether it’s the weather each one has to offer, the activities or even the correlation to school during that season, fall and spring have various different characteristics that sway students’ opinions.
“I like the changing of the leaves; [Fall] it’s the prettiest season,” said junior Brooklyn Masonheimer.
Fall creates its own unique and beautiful colors that range in pigment. Students have come to love that aspect of the season. The leaves document the change throughout the months with a feeling of comfort despite fall being a time of overwhelming academic tasks.
“For me, fall is stressful because of all the tests,” said junior Nicola Forbess. “It’s pretty much the first time you take a test with all of your new teachers since the start, [of school] so you never know what to expect.”
Fall semester can be hard for most students to get through because of the workload. Spring on the other hand, although it still has tests, has the encouraging factor of the end of school. This motivates students to push through and continue.
Another very important factor in this debate is the weather. Although the seasons don’t contrast to the level that winter and summer do, the differences are still notable due to the sports and holidays that are part of each respective season.
“Everything just looks bare in spring, and it’s not hot or cold. It’s just a weird in between,” said sophomore Jake Ford.
Fall weather appeals to certain Eagle High students more with the variety of activities that can be done. This season has more consistency with its temperature and climate, which allows for more planned excursions and fun.
After contrasting these two seasons, it is clear that there is still not an ultimate decision on which is best. However, fall seems to be slightly favored. Students admire all aspects of the seasons and their individuality as a whole.
