Get Excited For Fall Season

7 Reasons Why I'm Glad Summer's Over

While I wholeheartedly believe that summer is the most wonderful season of the year, I’m really happy that it’s over. The only thing better than balmy summer nights and sun-kissed skin is the feeling of the seasons change. There’s plenty to look forward to as we slide into the fall season. Here are seven reasons why I’m glad summer’s over.

1. No more sunburn blisters

While I enjoy the beach more than a golden retriever enjoys playing fetch, my skin has it pretty rough. Sunburn blisters are the price we have to pay for a great tan. The best cure for burnt skin is the fall season (and a gallon of aloe vera lotion.)

While summer is my favorite time of the year, I definitely won’t miss baking like a potato and not being able to lie on my back at night. No, thanks!

2. Crispy fall mornings

What’s better than waking up to a crisp autumn breeze coming through the window as you’re snuggled up under a soft blanket? Imagine grabbing a latte (pumpkin spice or not, no judgment here) and strolling through the park.

The sound of freshly fallen leaves cracking under your shoes is the epitome of comfort. Time to break out the suede mocassins and stroll around for hours.

3. Sweather weather

I could never live in a place that didn’t have sweater weather. While I enjoy bikinis and denim shorts, I need the comfort of a silk sweater on my skin. Plus, fall is the perfect time to get super creative with your wardrobe.

While summer calls for turquoise earrings and bright colors, fall is dominated by cozy pastels. I love layering scarves, necklaces, and bracelets for a chic and effortless look. A great pair of jeans makes me happy, which is why I’m thrilled about the fall season.

4. I'm tired of sand everywhere

I’ll miss the warm sunshine of summer but I would definitely not be sad about the million tiny sand grains that get into my bathing suit at the beach. I’m not entirely sure what’s wrong with me but every trip to the beach is followed by enormous tracks of sand in my house, not to mention the sand in my hair.

Fall will bring some much-needed cleanliness and order into my life.

5. My water bill will go way down

Regardless of how high the AC is turned up in summer, I still feel sweaty and sticky. My water bill consistently goes through the roof from June to August. Fall means big savings which I can invest in apple picking and cute boots.

6. Halloween is right around the corner

Let’s be real - Halloween’s the best holiday of the year. You get to dress up however you please and get creative with decoration. At the same time, it’s not a family ordeal so you’re totally free to chill with your friends and party till late.

Creepy stories and visiting Salem give me goosebumps and heaps of adrenalin. Time to put on Hokus Pokus and plan the annual haunted house trip with the crew.

7. No more sweating like a pig when I try to cuddle with my SO

Fall means snuggle time. While I love being close to my SO in the summer, having two bodies trying to nap while exuding a ridiculous amount of heat is just unbearable. Fall, on the other hand, gives us the chance to be close together without being embarrassed or uncomfortable about the gallons of sweat rolling down our backs.

I swear, if it wasn’t for fall season, my relationship would have fallen apart.

While summer has been a complete pleasure once again, I’m super pumped for fall. What do you have planned for this season?

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
