Well, folks, just like our football program, the fall has arrived in State College! Too soon? Sorry.

The leaves are starting to change, the rain and dreariness have arrived, and the smell of fall-scented candles fills your friends’ houses and apartments.

There’s something special about fall in Happy Valley. It’s that time of year when downtown feels more crisp, tailgates hit peak vibe, and you can finally throw on your favorite flannel without sweating through it by noon.

What better way to enjoy autumn than to put together some songs to get you in all the fall feels?

With songs like “Stick Season,” by Noah Kahan, or “Fallin’ For You,” by Colbie Caillat, these songs are sure to get you bumping as well as get your mind off the bad. Happy fall and happy listening, folks!
