In less than two weeks, October will be upon us. October is one of the best times of the year because it brings fall, Halloween, pumpkins, and comfortable weather. Here is why I love the month of October.

1. Flannels and hoodies.

Flannels are my go to when I want to look like a bum but still be presentable. When I wear a hoodie, a bra is optional.

2. Pumpkin pie, roll, pie, you name it.

October is my favorite time to work in a bakery because we have pumpkin everything. Our pumpkin rolls are to die for. Believe it or not, I am not a fan of pumpkin spice lattes.

3. Halloween.

Also known as the best holiday of the year. Being able to dress up as something or someone and compete is so much fun. This year I am dressing up as a Big Mac.

4. Disney's Halloweentown and Twitches.

I enjoy binge watching every Hallwoeentown movie as well as Twitches and Twitches 2. My favorite is the original Halloweentown. And we can't forget about The Nightmare Before Christmas.

5. The mid fifties weather.

Weather in the fifties means I won't sweat while walking to class.

6. Pumpkin patches, apple picking, and corn mazes.

Getting lost in a corn maze is actually a lot of fun and even better when you're with a big group of friends! Picking the best pumpkin to carve and best apples to eat are also a family tradition for thousands of families.

7. Haunted hayrides.

My sorority sisters and I went on a haunted hayride attraction last fall and even though it was not as frightening as I hoped, it was still fun and gave me the chills.

8. Trees changing colors.

As the leaves change into orange, red, and yellow it is truly breathtaking to stop and look how the mountains surrounding you.

9. Football.

Sports are big thing in my household, especially football. I may not understand every detail of the game but I know what I am watching on the weekends.

Although I am sad that summer is coming to its end, fall is my favorite season of the year and love everything it has to offer.
