6 Reasons Why I Live For Autumn

Goodbye, summer. Hello, autumn.

Fall is finally here! Go get yourself in some leggings and start preparing yourself for the best season ever. There are so many reasons to love autumn! However, here are six of my favorite reasons why fall is the best season of all.

1. Pumpkin Spice And Everything Nice

That is what autumn is made of! Pumpkin spice flavored things are everywhere. From lattes to even PopTarts; there will never be a lack of pumpkin flavored anything during this fall season! At this point my blood type is even pumpkin spice flavored. Pretty much happiness is anything with pumpkin spice.

2. Life Is Better By A Bonfire

Hanging out by a bonfire with some of my best friends is my idea of a good time; and what is the best season for bonfires? Fall, of course! Grab some warm hot chocolate, gooey marshmallows, crunchy gram crackers, and Hershey's chocolate to create the most perfect bonfire of all.

3. Sweaters And Chilly Air

Fall = Sweater Weather! As the air starts to become cooler, my clothes start to become warmer. I always get so excited when the temperature drops below seventy degrees because that means it is socially acceptable to wear sweaters and knitted scarfs. I can finally stop worrying about my bikini body and focus on what really matters: my oversized sweater body.

4. Welcoming the Great Pumpkin

Honestly, I have never met a pumpkin I did not like. Autumn is the season for traveling to pumpkin patches and finding the pumpkin you believe to be the greatest pumpkin of all the great pumpkins. When my friends and I get together to go to the nearest pumpkin patch it is always one of the most memorable moments of the whole season and the best part of going to the pumpkin patch happens when you go home and carve the pumpkins ya'll picked out!

5. Celebrating Halloween

I do not always decorate early for holidays but when I do its for Halloween. Once it was officially fall it became Halloween in my apartment. If you could not tell already Halloween is my favorite holiday of all! Basically fall is spooky season.

6. Football Is Back

Get the chips, dip, and chicken wings out and ready because fall is football season. Most people drag through the year just waiting for autumn to hit. Basically there are two time of the year: football season and waiting for football season.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
