2. Apple Cider.... for those crazies who don't drink Pumpkin Spice.
Bonus points if you drink it in front of the next item on this list!
3. Bonfires galore!
Because nothing smells better than bonfire smoke, nor is there a better setting to tell scary stories and sing with a guitar on an autumn night.
4. College Football
Nothing says fall in the south quite like college football (LET'S GO BLUE!!!)
5. Haunted Houses
If you're lucky, you won't pee yourself. Speaking from experience here.... oops.
6. Carving Pumpkins (and eating pumpkin pie!)
Sometimes you make jack-o-lanterns. Sometimes you make pumpkin seeds. Sometimes you make homemade pumpkin pie. Sometimes you put babies in them for fall photo shoots. The possibilities are truly endless.
7. Halloween (the best holiday of the year)
The more, the merrier. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE loves Halloween. Shy but want to be seen? Dress up for Halloween. Secretly a nerd but don't want anyone know about your love for classic comic books? Dress up for Halloween. Super into special effects makeup? H A L L O W E E N.
8. No More 90 Degree Days (Hopefully)
Which also means that you get to wear cute clothing! Scarves and flannels and boots and hats and a coffee in hand= perfection.
9. Thanksgiving!
Family, football, turkey, yams, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, cornbread, macaroni and cheese, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, fudge, beer, apple cider, ALL OF THE GOOD FOOD.
10. Black Friday (and the beginning of pre-Christmas jitters!)
When you leave the comfort of your home within hours of being thankful for what you have to go spend money and fight long lines for sales... to get the perfect gifts for the family you left at home.
11. The First Snow
The last breath of fall as winter takes over. A slightly sad moment for some, but the excitement of the winter holidays being RIGHT around the corner!
12. And Lastly....
GiphyPLEASE remember to vote in the midterm elections on November 6th! Your vote is valuable and your voice deserves to be heard!
