Fall has been my favorite season for as long as I can remember. There's something about fall that makes it different than all the other seasons. Fall is different because fall constantly represents change. The weather is changing, the colors of leaves are changing, your classes are changing, the people you surround yourself with are changing, but most importantly, your intake of pumpkin spice lattes are changing! Just kidding about that last one... or maybe not. But fall is all about change, and it's pretty cool to know that a season serves far more than just what it's title states.
Here are my top 10 reasons as to why I absolutely love fall and you should too!
1. Fall weather is unbelievably calming
Think about it: walking around while taking in that brisk and fresh air is actually such an incredibly feeling. Summer is way too hot, spring is always up and down, and winters can get a bit too chilly. But... fall? Fall is the great balance of all of the above. Fall is perfect.
2. Reuniting with friends
Yeah, we all complain about having to go back to school, but lets be real here... admit it, you know you’re ready to go and catch up with all the friends you said you’d make plans with over the summer -- which you didn't… so yeah, it’s probably best to catch up now having those three months apart!
3. Fall means FLANNELS!
Flannels, flannels, FLANNELS! You can never go wrong with flannels in the fall -- it's a staple in the meaning of fall!
4. Fall attire is the best
I absolutely love dressing for fall because the options are endless! Fall clothing is the best clothing because you can easily dress up with a flannel, vest, and boots, or you can wear sweaters, hoodies, and sweatpants/leggings everyday with it being totally acceptable. It really doesn't take much to dress for fall.
5. Fall is picture perfect
The scenery is beautiful! When you go outside, take a look at your surroundings. The leaves are becoming crisp and orange as well as the sky which show all different tones of red and orange. You can be anywhere and the background makes it picture perfect. You can literally take a picture of a leaf and post it on Instagram and it'll look 100x better than it would if it was any other season!
6. All things PUMPKIN!
Fall means PUMPKIN EVERYTHING! Pumpkin carving.. pumpkin picking.. pumpkin...
7. Pumpkin Spice Latte
Who doesn't enjoy a warm cup of pumpkin spice latte on the go or even just at the coffee shop while reading a book? It's one of my favorite parts of the season! Seasonal drinks all the wayyyy!
8. Pumpkin Carving
Okay so maybe not everyone's pumpkin comes out like that.. ESPECIALLY mine, but it's still fun to attempt!
9. Pumpkin Pie
A warm piece of pumpkin pie topped with some icecream to go with that latte?! Yes please!!
10. Holidays!!
Just thinking about Thanksgiving dinner got me like...
And thinking about how fun Halloween is going to be got me like...
If these aren't enough reasons to love fall then I don't know what is! Fall is beautiful, calming, and all around nothing but positive vibes. As I mentioned earlier, fall is a season of change and it's amazing how one season could represent so much more than just it's title. And change is inevitable but it's up to you to make it a positive one rather than negative. Here's to new scenery, a new school year, and new beginnings!
Happy Fall! :)
