Let's Talk About Fall

Like, where is it?

Let's Talk About Fall

Okay, we have to talk about fall. The official start of the season was September 21st, but it doesn't yet feel like fall. It's still 80-90 degrees everyday, we're wearing shorts and flip-flops, and sweating our butts off every time we step outside. I can't be the only one who is completely over this summer weather and ready to embrace everything good about fall. Channeling my inner basic white girl, I love fall and all things about it.

Boots/ sweaters/ and leggings. Anyone else? It eliminates the need for pedicures and shaving. Also, sweaters and sweatshirts hide those extra few pounds we've all put on from starting school again. I mean, who wants to wear real pants when you could just wear leggings? Another added bonus is that you get to be cozy all the time, and no one is going to judge you if you wear a sweatshirt two sizes too big.

Pumpkin picking and corn mazes. Sure, they're stereotypical fall things, and you can do them regardless of temperature, I guess. However, it just won't be the same going to the pumpkin patch in shorts and a tank top while I'm still burning up. These fall things almost require the air to be slightly cool and crisp to have the full fall experience.

Coffee. Even hot chocolate and hot cider, really any hot beverage. Maybe it's just me, but I can't drink a hot drink when it is hot outside. I'm the type of person who enjoys hot drinks only when it's chilly outside. It doesn't mean that we can't drink them now, but they're more enjoyable paired with cool fall weather. Only when it cools off will I be going to Starbucks to get a pumpkin spice latte.

Leaves changing. One of my favorite past-times in the fall is playing in the crispy yellow, red, orange, and brown leaves. Since it is still so warm outside, most of the trees are still green and still have their leaves. Even if you don't like playing in the leaves, or dread having to rake the leaves, you can still appreciate the pretty colors the leaves turn in the fall, but we have yet to see any color changes.

Bonfires. You can't deny that bonfires are the best in the fall. Sure, you can have them in the summer, but it's still hot. In the fall, the cool weather allows you to bundle up and cuddle up, and really enjoy the warmth of the fire. Until the weather cools down, bonfires are hard to truly enjoy. Not to mention, roasting marshmallows by the fire is ten times better when it's slightly chilly out so you can warm up by the fire.

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."
