5 Reasons Why Autumn is The Best Season Ever

Autumn always gets passed by on everyone’s list for favorite season, but it is and always has been the epitome of the perfect season. In this article, I will list a few reasons why I believe Autumn should be your favorite season too!

1. Halloween

Yes, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because of the awesome costumes and the free candy. Now that I’m an adult, I also get to have one of the best jobs of the night: handing out candy to trick or treaters. Seeing their faces light up when I hand them candy makes the night all the better! Once we run out of candy, our porch light goes off and we can celebrate Halloween like adults and go to bed immediately because we have work and school in the morning.

2. Cooler Weather

One of the best things about our side of the planet being farther away from the sun is the cooler weather. Being a big guy with a beard is extremely difficult in the warmer months because hair doesn’t breathe well, women with long hair can attest to this. In the warmer months, I always have to shave in order to get the heat out of my body and to stay cooler. In September and October, I can grow the beard out and wear warmer clothes like flannel and hoodies. The all-important hoodie! I cannot find a better accessory than the hoodie. It keeps you both warm and in style.

3. Longer Nights

With our planet on an axis, our part of the globe is now getting farther and farther away from the sun with each passing day. This means that the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer. Now, I can’t speak for everyone reading this list, but I love sleep. Actually, love is too small a word. I adore sleep. It is one of my favorite things to do every day. I love getting more and more time to sleep and dream and relax in my bed every day. Plus, I can still sleep with my window cracked and I’ll wake up wrapped up in my blankets ready and refreshed for the next day.

4. Dead Insects

While I’m not afraid of insects or arachnids, I do not want them to appear in my room as uninvited house guests either. Watching the moths fly into my porch light and freeze with the coming cold brings a smile to my face as I watch them twitch on the ground with the falling leaves. Which brings me to my final entry…

5. Falling and Changing Leaves

My favorite part of Autumn is the colors of the changing leaves and watching them fall. It’s kind of a tradition in my family to go up to Estes Park and look at the changing leaves while listening to the elk bugle. If I can’t make it up into the mountains to look at the leaves, I simply have to look around at any of my local parks or even my university’s campus. There are hundreds of different species of trees in my local area and I can go look at them completely free of charge and enjoy the beauty of nature. So this Autumn, go outside, be in the beauty of nature. Take pictures and enjoy our beautiful world.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
