10 Reasons Why My Floridian Heart Can't Wait For My First Fall In New York

Bring on the snow!

As a Floridian, there's an abundance of different things to love about New York. Now that fall is here, I am excited about many things.

1. The cooler weather

After a hot summer, the cooler air is refreshing. It isn't too hot and it isn't too cold, it's just right.

2. The leaves!

Seeing the beautiful leaves can make just about anyone smile. Walking in the woods and seeing the leaves in various colors is so stunning.

3. The clothes

Being able to layer and be so stylish or cozy is amazing. From oversized sweaters and sweats to trench coats and fun darker colors.

4. Hot drinks

Yes, the pumpkin spice latte is another popular fall staple, but being able to enjoy it as well as a nice cup of hot cocoa is soothing.

5. Thanksgiving

I've always loved Thanksgiving. Not only because of the food but because my family would be together. Now that I'm away from my family, I'm so excited to be surrounded by good food and warmth.

6. Halloween

Dressing up for Halloween was always fun for me as a kid. Once I got older, the fun stopped. I can't wait to see what college has in store for Halloween.

7. Knowing the holidays will be here soon

Similar to Thanksgiving, knowing Christmas, Hanukah, and Kwanzaa are less than 100 days away is exciting. The food and warmth in the air are amazing. There is something special in the air that is simply hard to explain.

8. Daylight savings time

Knowing it gets dark out earlier and getting an extra hour of sleep back is exciting. Since a lot of us are in college or working and we are tired a lot, sleep is a beautiful thing.

9. Football

Although I'm not the biggest fan of football, going to the games and cheering on for my team (go Seawolves) is exciting. Watching the game in the cold weather or in the comfort of your home is relaxing or stressful depending on how passionate you are about the sport.

10. The food!

There's nothing like having a hot soup or warm dessert in the colder months. Stuffing, casserole, mashed potatoes, etc. is like getting a warm hug! Bonus points if it's pumpkin flavored.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
