The school year is in full swing and the season of fall is quickly approaching. It seems that more and more people everyday begin to mourn the ending of summer. This is understandable, summer is the life of the season party. No school, hot weather perfect for outdoor fun, more hours of daylight, the list can go on and on. However, nobody should be too sad just yet. While winter may bring with it dreary weather and other blues, that’s still a few months away. Before that, we go into fall, which is the best season there is. You’re probably thinking “Better than summer?” Yes. Fall is truly the best season and here’s why.
1. Cooler, but bearable, temperatures.
Summer weather can be pretty great. You don’t have to wear seven layers of bulky clothes, you can go swimming, and cooling down can be a perfect excuse to eat ice cream everyday. However, sometimes the heat becomes unbearable. If it gets too hot, you don’t want to do anything and simple daily processes can become a chore. In the fall, however, outdoor activities become more bearable because the weather is no longer sweltering hot, all the while still, not bone-chillingly cold. Cooler weather is also beneficial because it allows you to break out all of those super comfy, cute sweaters.
2. Bonfires
Bonfires are a hugely popular summer evening activity. However, they can be even better in the fall. Fall nights can get chilly and what better way to warm up than calling up some friends and having some fun around a cozy fire? It’s also like a little slice of summer that carries over to ease any sadness about it’s passing.
3. Halloween and Thanksgiving
Two of the best holidays are also part of this season. Halloween might seem like a children’s holiday, but it can still be enjoyable for adults. The streets are filled with awesomely eerie decorations that spice things up from your normal everyday life. Haunted attractions can provide a fun. friendly scare and even getting dressed up to scare your friends or even go to a costume party can be fun too. Also, who doesn’t love an excuse to eat lots of tasty treats? And let’s not forget Thanksgiving being a great time to not only overload on delicious foods but also remind us to be happy with and thankful for what we have.
4. Pumpkins!
Pumpkins are great for having fun carving and decorating. Whether you want to do something cute and fun or scary, it can always be fun being creative with pumpkins. Not only that but pumpkin seeds are delicious, and most importantly, who doesn’t love pumpkin spiced treats?
So, over the next couple of weeks, enjoy the last of the summer season as best as you can. Just don’t feel too bummed that summer is over when fall is completely advantageous as well. It can be such a beautiful, cozy time filled with yummy treats and lots of fun activities.
