It's A Bird! It's A Plane! It's Pumpkin Spice Here To Take Over Your Fall!

Sep 30, 2015

It’s not fall in America until you hear those two special words—those words that invigorate your taste buds and help ease into the pre-winter season: pumpkin spice. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy the traditional flavor added to my morning coffee, but when is enough, enough? I think this trend has gone far beyond stereotyping girls in UGG boots. This is something that no matter how much you love it, you still give an eye-roll to the idea that fall in the U.S. can be dumbed down to these two basic ingredients.

We need to stop basing our culture during autumn on a flavor.

Here are some of my favorite pumpkin spice products that are purely satire (but may one year be a thing):

These are a few of our favorite things.

Every college student's dream.

For that deep down thirst...for pumpkin spice.

Pumpkin spice and everything nice.

Live más with spice de calabaza.

Extra, extra! Chew all about it.

Great for thirsty trick-or-treaters.

Well if the pumpkin's long lasting...

This is what could happen to you if you keep supporting the pumpkin spice epidemic!

In conclusion, let’s leave the pumpkin-spicing to Starbucks and take in the beauty of this wonderful season. Enjoy the natural elements that inspired this trend. And remember, if you do have to give into the pumpkin spice effect, do so in moderation. Help to take one small step for man, but one giant step away from pumpkin spice.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
