Anyone who knows anything obviously knows that October is the best month of all! It’s a whole month seeing the leaves change colors, spooky places, pumpkin spice lattes, and apple-scented candles. Also, Halloween is hands-down the best holiday of the year!
Here are 10 reasons why October is the best month of the year.
1. October marks the beginning of fall weather, which means you get to bring out your oversized plaid button-ups and boots. They may be a little basic, but come on, they’re cute!
2. Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Need I say more?
3. It’s the perfect time to go visit a pumpkin patch with your partner or your best friends. Have you seen everyone’s pictures on Instagram? Not only do you get a pumpkin to carve, but you’ll get the best photos from going.
4. Apple orchards are a thing, and they get the same results as a pumpkin patch. Except you can eat apples, and they’re healthy. Think of Chelsea Houska from Teen Mom 2’s Instagram! Also, is anyone else obsessed with how nice Cole is to Aubree and Chelsea?
5. Some of us like to wear black clothes all year round, which can be annoying in the dead of summer because it’s so unbearably hot. Black is my happy color, you know! However, once October hits, people stop being weird about you for wearing all black.6. Leather jackets are the greatest piece of clothing ever invented. They pair well with almost anything, and they just make you look like a badass. Well, October is the month you can start wearing them because it’s getting colder!
7. Bath & Body Works gets all their fall-scented candles out, which are by far, the superior of all the scents.
8. Freeform (formerly ABC Family) has the "13 Nights of Halloween" movies! There is literally a whole line-up of some of the best Halloween movies. Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown could play every single day, and I would never get tired of them.
9. Have you ever been to a haunted house with your man? It makes for a great reason to grab onto him throughout the entire thing. Plus, they're exciting.
10. Costumes are so much fun! You get to decide who you want to be for the night of Halloween. Sure, mean girls may judge you, but that’s only because they didn’t think of the idea first. You literally get to look like someone else for the whole night. When else is that socially acceptable?
So here’s to the last day of October. We’ll all miss you so much. I’m already looking forward to your return in 2017. Until then, I’ll be drinking to our memories.
