11 Reasons Apple Is The True Flavor Of Fall

HD Wallpaper BAckgrounds

Fall is finally in full swing, and with that comes the annual invasion of anything and everything pumpkin; Pumpkin spice lattes, cookies, candies, soaps, etc...it's EVERYWHERE. I look around at the mania that people have for pumpkin spice, and I really feel bad because of what they're missing out on. Somewhere along the line people began to get obsessed with the stuff and completely forgot that there was another, more delicious flavor of fall. I think it's time that we remember that and give apple the appreciation it deserves.

1. We'll start with the most obvious reason: Pumpkin Spice is way overrated.

Mob mentality, Northface, and Ugg boots are all that keep it relevant. It doesn't even taste that great.

2. You can make so many things with apples

They're so much more versatile and delicious.

3. Apple Pie is basically a staple of America

Delicious and mildly patriotic.

4. You can also make smaller pastries

Streudels, cookies, turnovers, etc...the variety is impressive.

5. Heck, why not just use the whole apple?

Try doing that with a pumpkin.

6. If you want to go healthier, you can even make apple chips!

It's super simple! Here's a recipe!

7. Or if you're looking for an unhealthy one...

Umm, caramel apples? Yes, please! If you aren't drooling yet, I'd be surprised.

8. Oh, you want to make a sandwich? BAM! Apple butter.

Honestly, you don't even need bread; just eat it out of the jar.

9. Apple Cider is hands down the best and most versatile fall beverage.

You can drink it hot or cold comfortably, and it's still just as good. Try to drink a cold pumpkin spice latte.

10. Apple anything is perfectly delicious on its own, but you can also spice it up with things like caramel and cinnamon.

Pumpkin Spice is so boring; there's no real room for customization.

11. Finally, biting into a fresh, crisp apple is one of the most beautiful and satisfying feelings in this world.

Go ahead and try biting into a fresh pumpkin, I dare you.

Bonus: Apple Orchards are more or less the best fall activity for people of all ages.

Sure you can go to a pumpkin patch and get a pumpkin, but all you're gonna do is carve it and let it slowly rot in your home. Gross.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
