5 Reasons Why I Am Ready For Fall

If you don't think of fall when you think of these things, then you're crazy!

5 Reasons Why I Am Ready For Fall

During the 365-day year, there are four seasons and one is my all time favorite. It's a time where the air is crisp, the food is great and family gets together. Sports become your lifeline and everything is cozy. Fall is right around the corner and here are five things I am looking forward to during the season of fall.

1. The Holidays

From dressing up as a child to our adult years, Halloween will always be one of the best parts of the fall. Cool nights walking around with family to enjoying the sights of goblins and superheroes sneaking more than one treat from the "goodie" bowls left outside the dim doorways in your neighborhood. Spooky nights shifting to sentimental dinners, Thanksgiving lays around the corner. Fall consist of tasty foods and warm hearts. Gathering around the table with loved ones only makes this time of the year even more special.

2. Football

Whether you are a fan of sports or not, football plays major role into the fall season. People look forward to tailgating and body paint. Chants roar through the local sports bar and stadiums cheering for their favorite high school and college teams while booing their competition echoes with bad calls from the shady refs.

3. The Clothing

Man or woman, I think everyone enjoys the fact that the weather is cool enough for a light jacket and shorts to the thick sweaters and jeans. This time of the year is all about dressing for warmth and also for style. Girls can wear a ton of layers and show off the newest trends while guys can look frat-tastic in their North Face Vest and their spiffy Sperrys.

4. The Food

Two ingredients: pumpkin and pecans. These two things can change the world when fall strolls around. Starbucks brings out their famous "pumpkin spice latte" while other places serve pumpkin pies and anything assorted with pumpkins... Yum! Don't even get me started with Thanksgiving -- sausage balls, mash potatoes, turkey and ham. (Currently drooling.)

5. Family

When I think of fall, I instantly associate it with love. It's the time of the year where feeling thankful and have the opportunity to be surrounded by loved ones. The air is crisp and our hearts are overflowing with all sorts of emotions. Our mindsets shift from being selfish to thinking about others. A time where you want to be snuggled up in the living room with others enjoying hot chocolate by the fire watching Hallmark movies. Ugh, I just love it.

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.
