It's fall which means that the pumpkin spice craze has officially has begun though Starbucks went ahead than most of us and brought their pumpkin spice latte (PSL) during the summer on August 28th. As a person who loves the season of fall I don't understand the craze people have for pumpkin spice, especially pumpkin spice lattes.

Last year while working at Starbucks I made myself a PSL and it tasted basic and disgusting. I don't get it how people like the taste of pumpkin spice, maybe my taste buds are not for it, but I do find it ridiculous how pumpkin spice has taken over the food industry and it has to stop. Here are some examples of how pumpkin spice has taken over our world.

1. Cream cheese

Walmart

Pumpkin spice has made it into our bagels.

 2. Cereal 

Mr. Breakfast

What is wrong with the honey flavored Cheerios during fall?

3. Liquor 

Foodbeast

People are trying to get tipsy with pumpkin spice.

4. Coffee creamer 

I guess pumpkin spice lattes aren't enough.

5. Tea

Celestial Seasonings

Pumpkin Spice in tea does not seem like a bad idea.

6. Pancakes 

The recipe critic

I'll like my pancakes plain or with blueberries, no pumpkin spice please.

7. Pringles 

Classy Mommy

Original salty Pringles are the best, lets keep it that way.

8. Ice cream

KJRH

The idea of pumpkin spice in ice cream does not seem like a bad idea at all.

9. Yogurt 

Mmm no thanks.

10. Oreo cookies  

She Knows

I'm not surprised at this.

11. Peeps 

Dinosaur Dracula

Peeps got into the craze.

12. Sausage 

Reddit

I don't know how I feel about this.

13. Gum 

Total Sorority Move

Gum? Really? Come on people, what is wrong with minty breath during the fall?

14. Butter 

Hellogiggles

Land Lakes made pumpkin butter. Wow.

Pumpkin spice has gotten out of hand in, but the smell of it brings nostalgia. People love the taste of pumpkin spice because they love the idea that fall has begun and that the holidays such as Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are on their way. I guess I get it then because who doesn't like the holidays!

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…
