It is nearly the end of summer and beginning of fall. And, with that, many of us have returned to school. Unfortunately, many people also dislike this time of year for that reason alone. But, as we dive deeper into the season, you will realize there are many things to look forward to and enjoy this fall!
1) Football games
This is your chance to get out, reunite with friends, and cheer on your favorite teams together under the Friday night lights!
2 ) Cooler weather
It will finally be cool enough to walk outside without breaking a sweat! The air will be fresh and crisp, but the sun will still shine.
3) Comfy clothes
Time to break out all your leggings, oversized sweaters, cute scarves, and worn boots, so you can feel cozy all day long!
4) Starbucks specials
The return of customer favorites, like the PSL, will have you lining up for a cup on a cool autumn day!
5) NO SHAVING
Admit it ladies, you wait all year long for the time to come when you don't have to keep up with shaving your legs all the damn time!
6) Return of good T.V.
Ok, summer TV isn't that bad, but it certainly doesn't live up to shows like Grey's Anatomy, The Walking Dead, etc. You finally get to find out what happens after those pesky season finale cliffhangers!
7) State Fair
The N.C. State Fair is a staple event every fall and you wouldn't want to miss out on the thrilling rides or the crazy, indulgent foods the fair has to offer.
8) NO MORE BUGS
No more worrying about ants, wasps, mosquitoes or any other creepy crawlers that haunt us throughout the summer!
9) Baking
Fall is the perfect time of year to whip up something sweet using a new recipe or an old favorite in the kitchen. Yum!
10) Hay rides/Pumpkin picking
Pick up some pumpkins at a nearby farm with to decorate your front porch with. Some farms offer hay rides too, so don't miss out! The smell of autumn will be in the air!
11) Pumpkin carving
Once you've gotten the chance to pick the perfect pumpkin for you, you can browse the Internet for cool designs and templates to put a face on your pumpkin! Tip : Save and separate the pumpkin seeds. Then, toast and salt in the oven for a yummy snack!
12) Halloween movie marathons on T.V.
T.V. networks, like Freeform, will bring you seasonal movies all month long! From classics such as Hocus Pocus and Casper Meets Wendy to Harry Potter!
13) Halloween
The one day of the year that you can dress up as whoever...or whatever you want to be! Go all out with cheap accessories and make-up to become that character! Even if only for one night.
14) Fires
Some days will be warmer than others, but a chilly night is the perfect excuse to get a fire going in the fireplace. Curl up in front of it and enjoy a cup of tea or a good book!
15) Daylight saving time ends
Time to change your clocks, so you can finally enjoy that extra hour of sleep you've been missing out on! Zzzzz.
16) Thanksgiving
Or as some like to call it...Turkey Day! You get to gather around the table with your loved ones, stuff yourself with scrumptious goods, and reflect on everything you have to be thankful for! What a great holiday!
Now, if this list doesn't get you excited for the greatest time of year, then I don't know what will. Happy Fall!
