Every white girl in yoga pants with a Starbucks addiction loves this season.

I am going to sound like a complete and total white girl when I say this, but I absolutely love fall. It is, now and forever, my favorite season. There are so many different things I love about fall that make the first semester of school so much more bearable.

I love the weather. The blistering heat is finally gone by fall time, thank goodness, because I hate the heat with a burning passion. My favorite is when the clouds are overcast and gray, contrasted against the crimson, gold, and orange leaves on the trees. I look forward to that pretty view every year. 

What goes along perfectly with the beautiful weather? Comfy, cozy, oversized sweaters that I get to lounge around in all day. Fall clothing is wonderful because it can still be lightweight, but it keeps you warm. 

Another fantastic thing about fall is the scents, flavors, and treats that come around every year. I love the smell of pumpkin and cinnamon candles, along with anything and everything pumpkin flavored. All of the seasonal things that come out after September, for Halloween and Thanksgiving, and leading into Christmas, are my favorite -- like the orange Halloween Oreos, the ready-to-bake Pillsbury sugar cookies with the cute little ghosts and pumpkins on them, and, of course, a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks. I don’t care how many calories are in those things -- they only stick around for a couple months, so I drink them while I can. 

One of the greatest things about fall is that it comes right before winter, my second favorite season. For now, I’ll be enjoying my pumpkin cookies and lattes, while I’m wrapped up in my cozy sweaters, appreciating my favorite season of the year.
