The BILA Wave asked students and staff at Brooklyn Institute of Liberal Arts: what is your favorite part about fall and spooky season?
Lamar Williams, B11

I just got here from Jamaica, but I like seeing the aesthetic of leaves falling on the ground; it’s really pretty.
Mrs. Attard, Literacy teacher
Am I allowed to say it? I actually hate the fall because I dread the winter. So the fall for me means the winter is coming. I appreciate Halloween and the cute little kids and their costumes. But it makes me sad, especially as an adult and as a teacher, I really dread the winter. I get the winter blues so when fall starts happening, that means winter is coming. I want to enjoy the fall, but because I have that dread in my head, it prevents me from really enjoying it.

Mr. Hunt, Assistant Principal

I love seeing people’s houses and doors decorated with Halloween decorations, as well as their cars. I like it; it’s fun. It means people don’t take things too seriously. I myself enjoy making lanterns.
Azariah Tonge, B8
My favorite part of the fall is apple picking because my favorite fruit is apples.
