You might think this article is going to be me gushing over how much I love Fall and why it is my favorite season of the entire year (yes, that includes summer). Well, congrats, you are correct! I've always been a Fall girl even since I can remember. Summer is too hot, Winter is too cold, and spring is too rainy. But Fall, is just right. Not too hot, not too cold, and sooo much to do! Hopefully after reading this, you too will jump on the band wagon of Fall Lovers. Here are 10 things that make Fall the absolute BEST.
1.) Football Games
Seriously, what is better then going to a football game and cheering on your team? You get to dress up like crazy in school-spirited clothes, paint your face, and scream your lungs out whenever we score. And you are still enjoying the outdoors before it gets too cold.
2.) The leaves changing
Yes, green is nice. But come on, red, orange, and yellow everywhere you look?! Truly Beautiful. Being able to watch the leaves change color in the Fall is such a unique phenomenon that a lot of people take for granted. It's like a chameleon, but it's a leaf...?? Unreal.
3.) The clothes
Vests, scarves, cozy sweaters, hoodies, and did I mention vests?? You literally have the chance to look cute every single day, without freezing your butt off. Nothing better.
4.) Pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING
Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin candles, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin bread, etc. You know the drill. You can't go through a season of Fall without smelling that sweet, sweet aroma of pumpkin.
5.) Apple picking
One of my very favorite Fall activities is apple picking. Grab a group of friends and pay very little to pick a bunch of ripe apples right from the trees! Besides the massive number of photos that will be taken (obviously), it is so much fun to go and relax for the day.
6.) Candles
For some reason, candles decide to come out of hibernation in the Fall. They bring just a little bit of warmth to a room and can really set the mood. Any scented candle is a must for Fall.
7.) Cuddling
With the weather just starting to get a little chillier, its the perfect time to cuddle with a loved one. We gotta keep warm somehow, right??
8.) Halloween
My favorite holiday by far. You get to dress up as anyone/anything you want, and no one will judge you for it. How cool is that? Want to look like a bunny? Sweet! Decide to dress like a zombie? Even better. Also, we can't forget about endless candy.
9.) Hot Chocolate
Mmmm. Along with candles, hot chocolate decides to come out of hibernation in the Fall, too. Add some mini marshmallows, and you have your happiness for the rest of the day.
10.) The word "Autumn"
Most people refer to the months of September to November as Fall. But don't forget about "Autumn." It is the only season that can go by two different names, and I love it for that. Autumn, Fall, or whatever else you want to call it: you rock.
Just writing this made me even more excited about the upcoming months, and I hope it helped you get in the spirit for Fall as well! I strongly encourage you all to take advantage of the cute clothes, fun activities, and endless amounts of photos opportunities. I've officially fallen for Fall.
