Fall, the most glorious time of the year. It's no longer 110 degrees outside, football is in season, baseball is in the playoffs, and the food is incredible. Family gatherings (which you either love or hate) abound and everything just feels right with the world.
In the past couple years, there has been a trend of making fun of people who passionately love fall. You probably know exactly what I'm talking about.
This is exactly what I'm talking about. The term "Basic B****" has become synonymous with girls who passionately love fall. To which I have to say, y'all are a bunch of haters.
I don't understand how loving bright vivid colors, cooler temperatures, comfy clothes, and good sports makes you basic. Let's review the many amazing things about fall.
1. Comfy Clothes
Fall is a time of soft jersey dresses and shirts, sweat pants and boots, scarves and hats. Basically, it's socially acceptable to walk around feeling like you are cozily wrapped up in bed.
2. Amazing food is everywhere
I don't know about you, but I passionately love food. Good food is literally everywhere. Thanksgiving is forever my favorite holiday. So. Much. Yummy. Food. I really think we should get to have a second thanksgiving, maybe around April or May? Yeah, let's do that.
3. The weather
If you're from any of the southern states, then there is absolutely no reason you should mock people for loving fall. However long your fall last, be it a couple days or maybe a week or two, you enjoy the heck out of it. No one likes melting 365 days a year I'll have you know. If you do, then move to the desert I guess.
4. The sports are better
Two words that drive me insane "March. Madness." Ew. Baseball, now there's a sport worth talking about, and I know it starts in the spring, but the fall is when things really start amping up. I am newly starting to appreciate football as well, which is once again a fall thing.
5. I'm entitled to my favorite season
At the end of the day, I'm entitled to my favorite season. That's why it's called a favorite, you see. Gone are the days when I would change my opinion just to please other people.
I unapologetically love fall, and I don't care how "basic" that may seem to you.
Fall Forever Y'all.
