Why You Should Be Excited For the Fall

I might add, this is extremely basic.

Why You Should Be Excited For the Fall
Total Sorority Move

Don't get me wrong, I love summer. But, as we're approaching our last few weeks of it, I can't help but get giddy at the thought of all the things this semester will bring. The following is a list filled with the 10 best things this fall will bless us with in order to get you as excited as I am. If you're still not excited after reading, go get yourself checked out because something is very wrong with you.

1. Football

Duh. Whether it's watching it on the big screen each Sunday or going to home games on campus, nothing can replace the feeling only a football game can give.

1.5. Tailgates

This basically falls right under football games, but I felt it was obligatory to include. Getting dressed up all cute, hanging out with good friends, and don't forget those perfect Instagram pics tailgates provide us with.


2. Yoga Pants/Leggings

Don't listen to the naysayers who tell you they aren't pants. Will we perform any yoga or physical exercise in them? Probably not. But they're just so comfy.

3. Bath & Body Works Everything

Endless supplies of fall scented candles, lotions, body spray, etc. I want it all.

4. Homecoming

Basically one of the most happening weeks of the year filled with nights you'll never forget (or not even remember).



5. Halloween

Um... yes? Finding the perfect costume gives me life. Scary movies, limitless candy, haunted houses... they only come once a year. Then right after that is Thanksgiving, and then of course Christmas, so Halloween is basically the start of the holiday season.


6. Pumpkin Everything

Well, pumpkin spice lattes for one. And don't forget the perfect date night at the pumpkin patch where there's no limit on cute pics to take.

7. Bonfires

Sure, you might have to be power sprayed to get the smell of smoke off, but it's worth the nights surrounded by a cozy fire, friends, and a good beer (or multiple).


8. Bomb Outfits

My riding boots need to get out of my closet and onto my feet. The scarves, vests, flannel... the options never end.


8.5.Photoshoots

Can I just add along with cute outfits that fall gives us every excuse possible to have mini photoshoots or just take selfies in general? Instagram gets real.

9. The Weather/Colors

Say goodbye to the unbearably hot days where you can't spend longer than five minutes outside and say hello to literally perfect weather. The trees changing colors basically means everyone is now a professional photographer.


10. The Excitement

There's holiday after holiday, never ending festivities, hay rides, concerts, get togethers, etc. Going back to school gives us a fresh start to get our lives together and to make new friends (and memories of course). Everyone is just happier during the fall.



So there you have it. Just a few of the highlights of the fall semester that is yet to come. Let's make it the best one yet.
