Summer is finally winding down and it's back-to-school season. Gone are the days of laying on the beach with no responsibilities while late nights of studying start to roll in. Despite the dreaded education system rearing its ugly head, there are so many things to look forward to in the upcoming months.
Here are six reasons as to why Fall is the best season.

1. The Clothes
Call me a typical tumblr girl but I love fall style. Chunky sweaters, cozy scarves, combat boots and leggings work for everyone. Not only does everyone look bomb around you, but it's comfortable and acceptable to dress in an oversized sweater and leggings everyday. Just remember, you can never have too many scarves.
2. Pumpkin EVERYTHING
Yes it's cliche but I'm such a sucker for pumpkin-flavored treats. Pumpkin bars, pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin pie and of course pumpkin spice lattes make fall my favorite season. To be honest, my blood type is practically pumpkin pie blizzards from Dairy Queen during the month of September.
3. Cool Weather
I'm tired of this humid, 90-degree, soul-melting heat we've had this summer. Fall is the perfect opportunity to go for a walk, sit outside and do homework, or enjoy a cup of coffee without feeling like your insides and outsides are simultaneously being scorched.
4. Bonfires
Nothing beats having a bonfire late at night with a group of friends. Between making a ridiculous amount of s'mores, sharing a beer or two, and laughing about all the funny stories you have to share, bonfires create an environment of happiness and give the chance for you to act carefree.
5. Football Games
I love a good football game. No matter what team you cheer for, it's always fun to sit down with friends or family and a table full of appetizers and scream at the television. Football is also a great excuse to take a three-hour study break and spend time with your friends.
6. Pretty Leaves
Fall is the most beautiful time of year. The leaves all change to beautiful shades of orange, red and yellow, the air smells crisp and clean, and it's the best time to go for a walk to admire it all. Not to mention that the tedious chore of raking leaves usually turns into a hilarious event of jumping into leaf piles.
So while we're still in the last few weeks of August here, everyone just try to hang on until Fall arrives.
I know cannot wait for all the benefits of my favorite season!
