It's now October, and the air (somewhat-thanks, Indiana) begins to cool. The leaves are changing, and we begin to pull out our big sweaters. Now, some may argue summer is best because it's hot, you can go to the beach and there's no school. My argument? It's hot. Not just hot, it's humid. Therefore, I've created a list of reasons as to why fall is obviously the best season.
1. Big sweaters
Sweaters are warm, cozy, comfy and cute. Need I say more?
2. Pumpkin patches and apple orchards
You will take aesthetic pictures galore during any event.
3. Flannel
Flannel is always acceptable IMHO, but in the fall it definitely is.
4. HALLOWEEN
It is the best holiday, hands down. Halloween includes makeup, costumes and candy, which means non-stop fun (probably due to a sugar high).
5. Haunted houses
I worked at one, and it was incredibly satisfying, especially because it was raising money for charity. It is a blast to actually go through one. Know your limits and get you some (tribute to my Zombie Farm family)
6. Hot chocolate
The perfect drink to sip around a bonfire.
7. Bonfires
Bonfires bring people together for fun that creates a multitude of inside jokes and incredible memories.
8. Pumpkin spice everything
Nothing says fall quite like a pumpkin spice latte.
9. Cute boots
Finally, you can break out the combat boots, ankle boots and Timberlands without your feet catching on fire because it's too hot.
10. Scarves
Scarves are cute, warm and add an element of fashion to dress up any outfit. Plain t-shirt? Add a scarf!
11. Army jackets and leather jackets
Jackets are great for layering and looking high fashion while being warm and cute.
12. Color-changing leaves
There's nothing more beautiful than the multitude of colors of leaves in the fall.
13. Leaf piles
A blast from your childhood-that leads to sneezing, but it's worth it!
14. Cool weather
Finally, when you step outside, you're not running face first into a wall of heat and humidity. Also, the inside of the buildings is no longer as humid as it is outside.
15. Fall makeup
For girls, the fall means darker make up, which leads to a boost of confidence. The power of dark-colored lipstick is incredible.
16. Blankets
There is not much better than wrapping up into a burrito of warmth on a chilly fall day (with hot chocolate or pumpkin spice something, of course).
17. Gateway to the year
Happy Hallowthanksmasyear! Halloween is the start of holidays to come. You cannot wait for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year.
18. School breaks
In the fall, students are blessed with fall break AND Thanksgiving break. Definitely two things to be thankful for.
19. Cuddle weather
Whether it's with a significant other, your pet, a pillow, or a giant blanket, the fall is the perfect time for cuddling. So, snuggle up and hunker down to a Netflix marathon!
20. Apple cider
Hands down one of the best warm drinks out there, and definitely one of the major drinks of fall.
Now, as you can clearly see, it's hard to argue why any other season could be better than fall. Get ready everyone, fall is coming!
