All of the pretty leaves.

One of the best parts about fall is watching the world change colors and reliving your childhood by piling up the leaves and jumping in them.

Cute sweaters and decent weather

You know what’s great? Being able to walk out of the house in a light sweater without feeling the sweat break out across your forehead as you head to class. Fall has the absolute best weather of all year.

Pumpkin. Spice.

Okay okay, before you all roll your eyes and dismiss this one as “basic,” just accept the fact that pumpkin anything is delicious, so why can’t we all just love it. Pumpkin picking is great. Pumpkin pie is great. Pumpkin spice lattés are great.

Hot apple cider/apple picking

Along the lines of pumpkins, who doesn’t love going apple picking when it’s in season? There’s nothing better on a chilly day than warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream, or maybe some hot cider.

Haunted Hayrides and Corn mazes

SPOOK. Scary hayrides and corn mazes are iconic fall activities that you would regret missing this season.

NO MORE MOSQUITOS

Who can honestly tell me that they love all of the little bloodsuckers that swarm us in the summer? Saying sayonara to them and their winged friends allows for a sigh of relief. Take that, Zika.

The year’s best holidays (except maybe Christmas)

Halloween and Thanksgiving are two of my favorite holidays, between the festively flavored coffee drinks, spooky treats, or stuffed turkeys it’s hard to imagine why it wouldn’tbe someone’s favorite time of year.

New seasons of our favorite TV shows coming back

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been eagerly awaiting this year’s reboot of Gilmore Girls, Season 12 of Supernatural, and Season 6 of American Horror Story. Along with these gems comes the release of many more fan favorites.

There are an unending amount of reasons that Fall is the superior season, and I eagerly await September 22, when it officially begins.
