The truth is, August is the Sunday of summer. While summer is a beautiful season that should not be taken for granted, I can not help but look forward to the fall once August hits. For me at least, there is something about autumn that is exciting and inspires creativity and change. Once the heat of the summer wears off, I feel like I am a new person that can accomplish anything. Here are the seven things that I am most looking forward to this fall season!

1. Going Back To School

I may regret saying this mid-semester when I am drowning in homework and studying, but I miss college more than anything and I can not wait to be back in a few weeks. From reuniting with friends to rush week to decorating my dorm, it is hard to restrain myself from counting down the days.

2. Makeup

Although I am obsessed with makeup year-round, fall is definitiely my favorite season to explore new products and experiment with different looks. Bold brows, smokey brown eyes, and intense lipstick are only some of the long list of beauty trends that the fall has to offer.

3. Fashion

Fall is the king when it comes to fashion. A good pair of jeans, a sweater, and block-heel boots beats any outfit that summer has to offer. Once the weather begins to cool down, I love throwing on a jacket because I feel it completes even the most simple outfits.

4. Everything Halloween

I doubt I'm the only person that starts to think about their Halloween costume during the summer. Halloween is such an exciting holiday all-around, especially because it brings out everyone's "inner-kid". All in all, Halloween is definitely fall's icing on the cake.

5. Fall Food

I love cooking and baking year-round, but traditional fall ingredients and recipies are my favorite. From pumpkin flavored baked goods to everything Thanksgiving has to offer, I often find myself getting hungry when thinking about fall treats.

6. Music

I don't exactly know why this is, but music just sounds better to me in the fall. Additionally, fall is a popular time for many artists to release new albums, so get ready to update your soundtrack this upcoming season.

7. Beautiful Scenery

Nothing says "fall" like the beautiful palette of colors it has to offer. There is something mesmerizing about having a cool breeze blow through your hair as you walk, while an array of leaves swing from above.
