Fall seems slow coming this year, especially because of the really high temperatures. But by the time October rolls around, it should finally feel like fall. Also, there are some fun things happening that month!

1. Pumpkin Spice EVERYTHING! The pumpkin spice latte is a rich white girl stereotype, but I think everyone can enjoy the seasonal pumpkin-flavored treats like Oreos, Peeps, M&Ms, bread, and of course, coffee.

2.  Halloween! This is my favorite holiday! The creepy decorations, fun costumes, and crazy Halloween TV show specials are amazing! Try to be more creative than the sexy [insert animal or service profession here] this year and find a clever and unique costume! Also, this holiday is a great excuse to watch some scary movies or classic Disney Channel movies like "Halloweentown" and "Hocus Pocus"!

3. Cooler weather! October is usually not too hot or too cold. Just perfect! You're not freezing or sweating after two seconds of stepping outside.

4. Fall fashion! Now that the weather is cool enough, you can break out those cute boots, scarves, and sweaters.

5. The leaves change colors! I'll never get tired of walking down the street and seeing the beautiful colors of fall around me.

6. New and old TV shows are premiering! Some popular shows returning this October are "Saturday Night Live," "Homeland," "American Horror Story: Hotel," and "The Walking Dead."

7. You've been in school for about a month, so you should have finally gotten settled into
your new routine. This makes life much easier.

I'll be counting down the days until October, and you should, too!
