The weather is getting colder, the days are getting shorter, trees are starting to pop with fluorescent red and orange tones, and that can only mean one thing: Autumn is here. Now, there is absolutely no need to get upset and wallow in the fact that summer '19 is over. I'll admit, it was a good one, but the best time of the year just so happens to be the next 3 months that follow, and here's why:
1. Sweater Weather
Who doesn't love wearing a cozy sweater on cold fall days? Whether it's wearing one to a football game, a bonfire, chilling at home or going out, sweaters are perfect for every occasion in autumn.
2. Rainy Days
Okay I must admit, this is one of my favorite things about autumn. The cold weather plus the rain is a match made in heaven. Not to mention, you can totally use this as an excuse to stay in bed all day and fatten yourself up on hearty comfort foods.
3. Binge-watching
Okay get this: cold temps, rainy weather, warm food, and cozy sweaters is a MUST-HAVE for binge-watching! That's the perfect combination for having one of the laziest days you can ever imagine. Honestly, I'll have lazy days all autumn because why not?
4. Spooky Season
Halloween, pumpkin carving, haunted houses, and scary movies, I mean what is there not to love? This is the one time of year where you can be whoever and whatever you want to be without the hassle of conforming to society, EMBRACE IT! Also, who doesn't love a good scare to get your adrenaline pumping?
5. Thanksgiving
Now THIS is the most wonderful time of the year! All-you-can-eat food, family, and friends, what can get better than that? This is the time where you and all your favorite people are able to catch up and be in each others' presence for the day. However, I think the food is the best and most important part.
6. Reading
For my avid readers, you KNOW autumn months are prime for reading. Sitting in bed or on a window seat, enjoying the tranquility of fall with a cup of hot tea or coffee in your hand as your eyes unlock the doors to unknown worlds is THE definition of a reader's paradise.
7. Bonfires
S'mores, camping, friends, and cool weather. Bonfires are one of the best ways to spend your autumn nights while also still being able to enjoy nature and all it has to offer, without the pesky bugs.
8. Autumn Flavored Food and Drinks
Pumpkin spice and apple flavored food and drinks are why autumn thrives. Regardless if you are more of a pumpkin spice latte person or an apple cider person, you can't dismiss the fact that everything smells oh-so wonderful. As soon as these food and drink items hit menus, you know that the best season is near.
9. Fluorescent Colors
Who knew death could be so beautiful? Even though autumn signifies the end of a life cycle, the colors it produces are just breathtaking. Autumn really makes you appreciate the true beauty of nature and what a work of art it truly is.
10. Change
All good things must come to an end, but that end doesn't have to be ugly, it can be beautiful in the most unexpected ways. Autumn is the season of reflection and allows you to change whatever it is that is holding you back. You can transform into the person you always wanted to be or you can allow yourself to let go of the people or things that do nothing but harm to you. It's the season of soul searching and that is what truly makes autumn beautiful.
