I know, I know, everyone loves summer. For some of us though, fall is where we shine, and when school starts back, the excitement for all of our favorite things becomes almost too much to handle. Here are the top ten reasons to be happy that summer is finally over:
1. The beginning of fall means the beginning of school, and that means you see your friends on a daily basis.
Even though you see your friends periodically throughout the summer, nothing beats getting to hang out with your friends every day, even if that hangout includes lots of studying and homework.
2. The heat of the sun isn't burning your skin to a crisp on a daily basis.
Okay, I understand that some people actually tan during the summer (a girl can only dream) but for those of us with fairer complexions, no amount of sunblock will ever be enough. Not to mention that in winter you don't stand out as much for looking like Snow White.
3. On that note, you don't immediately start sweating when you walk outside during the fall.
Summer is great and all, until you walk 10 feet to get your mail and suddenly look like the sprinkler system caught you off guard.
4. Fall fashion is the best fashion!
Nothing beats oversized sweaters, cute boots, and pretty jackets.
5. All your favorite shows come back on.
The wait is over! It also helps that the weather is conducive to staying inside and binge watching...
6. All the bugs are gone.
As someone who has a, although irrational, very serious fear of June bugs the end of summer can't come soon enough.
7. Fall = Halloween.
I'm a little biased because Halloween is my favorite holiday, and I basically wait all year long for it to come around, but if it's not your thing fall also brings Thanksgiving so it's a win win.
8. Comfort food is at it's peak in the fall.
Cold weather means warm soup, roasts, pumpkin flavored everything, and less guilt for eating it. No one is thinking about their bikini body in the middle of fall. Just eat the pie.
