It’s PSL season! Finally. I am so happy that the cool weather is coming. I live for days when I can walk out of the house wearing some boots, leggings, and a huge cardigan. Even though it was almost 80 degrees outside today, I bought myself a French vanilla and hazelnut coffee this morning before classes. Here are five fun things that I am looking forward to for my first fall semester living in New York City.

1.Foliage

I cannot wait for the leaves to change so I can walk around central park. I want to be able to smell that crisp fall air and know that I am home.

2. Pumpkin flavor

I am not a pumpkin spice latte fan, (sorry friends), but I do love a good slice of pumpkin pie! The search is on for the perfect slice in Manhattan.

3. Holidays

One word: Halloween! I cannot wait to dress up and walk around the city to see everyone else’s costumes. It’s New York City; go big or go home!

4. Retail and its ever-changing visual marketing.

I love to see the stores start to change all of their windows to get ready for the holiday season. We are now down to double digit days left until Christmas, you know.

5. Fashion

I am excited to see all the fall and winter fashion. After working New York Fashion Week, I have quite the obsession with all of the new trends. I can’t wait to show off some of my new fall and winter clothes.

New York City has so much to offer us during all of the seasons throughout the year. I love going out and exploring my world. I am a little biased, though. Fall is definitely my favorite. So, get out and explore. We shouldn’t just be living in the city. We should thrive!
