A

When I first came to Rochester from Austin, Texas—a place where fall is practically non­existent—I was excited for a real northern fall. But, I wasn't __1__ it to feel like Christmas in October.

Regardless of this __2__， and the adjustment period that I'm not entirely sure I'm __3__ , I am thankful to be somewhere that has a __4__ fall. By “real” I __5__ a distinctive season, a(n) __6__ in the weather and a visual changing of the world around me. The leaves __7__ colors, it rains more often, the air is almost always __8__ and dry, and a light breeze __9__ me to walk a bit faster to get inside. Yes, it is more difficult to be __10__ outside in a Rochester fall — where it is not just “less hot” but __11__ , fairly cold. But, I would argue that time spent outside in this season could be more __12__ than in the summer.

Everyone __13__ that fall is about change—I won't argue against that. Things do __14__ in the fall—the weather is __15__ becoming worse and worse, the dying leaves become warmly colored, and __16__ you know it, we'll be back to having only eight hours of sunlight a day.

This oncoming change is why I think it is so important to __17__ fall. Fall is not just about the __18__ of change, but also appreciating what will soon be __19__ . Go __20__ this fall. Enjoy the leaves not because they are turning beautiful deep shades of orange and red, but because there will soon be no leaves in those branches at all.
