Maybe you already love fall. Or maybe you hate it. Maybe you can predict exactly what will be featured on this list.

1. Cute Fall Clothes

Whether you like leggings or skinny jeans, no one can argue that fall fashion is the best. Because who doesn't like chunky scarves, oversized sweaters, riding boots, combat boots and fuzzy socks? (Hint: the correct answer is no one) Plus, the colors are the best. Combining neutrals like black, brown, cream and white with olive greens, maroons and mustards makes for a perfect combination of color.

2. Yummy Starbucks Drinks

You might like a pumpkin spice latte. Or maybe you're a salted caramel mocha kinda girl. We're all in the mood for a caramel apple spice or a toasted graham cracker latte. But these are the Instagram worthy drinks that never fail to keep you warm or make you love the fall.

3. Halloween

Because who doesn't love dressing up? Especially with Pinterest. You can find some of the cutest costume ideas whether you're trying to do a couples theme or if you're going out with a group of friends. Or maybe you're stuck at home handing out candy and you just want to feel the spirit of Halloween. Besides, what's not to like about candy and watching "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," "Hocus Pocus,"one of the numerous "Halloweentown" movies, or even "The Nightmare Before Christmas."

4. Pie Season

Some of us love to make them and some of us just love eating them. Whatever your preference, fall is the perfect time for testing out a new recipe. Especially with both pumpkins and apples being in season.

5. Football

Even if you don't really like football, it can be tons of fun to attend an outdoor football game. Whether it's high school, college or even professional, you're sure to have tons of fun spending time with your friends trying to keep warm and cheering on your favorite team.

6. Colorful Leaves

They're so seemingly insignificant yet so important. They're beautiful to look at and photograph. They're fun to jump in. They give our landscapes a whole new look for the fall time.

7. Bonfires

Sure, you can go to a bonfire or sit around a fire place in the summer, but let's be honest. Who wants to sit around a hot pit when it is almost 100 degrees outside? In the fall, you can sit around a fire pit outside and keep warm because the temperature is perfect. Even if you're sitting around a fireplace indoors, you can make delicious s'mores to enjoy the fall weather.

8. Thanksgiving

It's probably the best fall holiday. And what's not to like? Pie, turkey and mashed potatoes, as well as cranberry sauce, corn and a plethora of other treats are the only food groups on Thanksgiving. It's time to spend with family reflecting on what you've so graciously been given. Plus, it's not so bad to have a break from school.

9. Black Friday Shopping

Now, not to the extreme of going out at 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving, but staying up on Thanksgiving night and heading out to start Christmas shopping around midnight is always a fun adventure. Plus, there are always deals to be found

10. Daylight Savings Time

You get an extra hour of sleep. What's not to like?

11. Fall Festivals

Go pick a pumpkin, enjoy some hot apple cider, hay rides and corn mazes. And if you're feeling it, pick up some kettle corn. Fall festivals (usually found on farms) are super fun to go to and never fail to impress.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
