As we settle into October and the weather begins to drop, I am feeling very rejuvenated from my summer funk. After months of sweltering heat in Oklahoma, Fall is finally swooping in and saving all of us from our misery. The walks across campus were becoming unbearable; I was drenched in sweat from head to toe, but the hero we needed is finally here. There are so many aspects that make Fall arguably the most loved season; there are only a few of them:
1. The leaves
I don't know about you, but I prefer red, orange, and yellow leaves over green ones. Everything is so picturesque in Fall.
2. The weather
So long to the days of looking like I'm in pain after a brisk walk to class. Hello to cool breezes and cloudy days.
3. Halloween
Who doesn't love Halloween and all the spookiness it entails?
4. The outfits
Summer's clothing options are probably my least favorite thing about the season. In Fall, you can throw a cardigan over everything to tie your outfit together and look effortlessly cute. Layering is a godsend.
5. Thanksgiving
Fall has the best holidays. I mean we get Halloween AND Thanksgiving? This is too much.
6. The food
In addition to having Thanksgiving, Fall also comes with soup and chili weather. Sure you can eat soup in the summer, but it's SO MUCH BETTER in Fall.
7. NO MORE BUGS
The bug population begins to diminish when the cooler weather hits, and for that I am forever thankful.
8. The activities
Pumpkin patches, corn mazes, carving pumpkins, apple-picking, leave-collecting, simply enjoying the cooler weather—there are so many things to do in Fall.
9. Midterms are behind us (almost)
Where has the semester gone? After midterms the rest of the semester flies by.
10. It's just the best, okay?
Fall is beautiful and a great time to get out, enjoy, and explore the world around you—do it!
