Why I Won't Miss Summer

Twenty reasons why fall is the best month.

Why I Won't Miss Summer

Summer is finally winding down. Vacations are over, tan lines are fading, and “back to school” ads are in full swing. It can be a sad transition from summer into fall until you realize all the great things fall has to offer.

1. Cold weather

I don’t know about you but I’m tired of sweating.

2. No shaving

Even though I’m not one to give up shaving my legs all together, fall definitely gives you the excuse to let your hair grow a little bit longer than you usually would. Who has time to shave their legs everyday anyway?

3. Leggings

Although they can arguably be worn all year, there’s no denying that the best time to wear leggings as pants is in the fall. It’s not too hot outside and it’s not too cold.

4. Halloween

It’s the one day of the year you won’t be judged for eating all the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups you want.

5. Pumpkin picking

Nothing gives me more joy in life than going to a farm and picking out a pumpkin to carve.

6. Haunted houses

There’s nothing more fun than walking through a haunted house with all of your friends.

7. Scary movies

Even though I hate being scared, I somehow manage to put that aside for a month and enjoy a ton of scary movies. They really help me get into the Halloween spirit.

8. Baggy sweaters

In the fall I basically live in a baggy sweater and leggings. It’s the most comfortable outfit in the entire world.

9. Fall drinks

I am counting down the days until I can go to "Dunkin’ Donuts" and order a pumpkin iced coffee.

10. Apple cider donuts

I’m probably going to start a petition to make them available all year round.

11. Scarves

I have a minor scarf addiction. I probably have at least two in every pattern and color you can think of. When it comes to making a complete outfit, scarves are the perfect accessory. They keep you warm and look cute.

12. UGG boots

I don’t care if they’re ugly they’re super comfortable.

13. Combat boots

They’re just as comfortable as UGG boots but make you look a little more stylish.

14. TV shows

All of my favorite TV shows have taken a break for the summer and I’m experiencing definite withdrawal.

15. Thanksgiving

It’s an entire holiday dedicated to giving thanks and eating. How could it get any better?

16. Pumpkin pie

The best dessert.

17. Fall scents

I already went to “Bath and Body Works” and purchased a cinnamon pumpkin candle. I haven’t lit it yet but I’m ready for my room to smell like a magical fall wonderland.

18. Fuzzy socks

They’re basically blankets for your feet.

19. Flannel shirts

They’re comfortable and cozy.

20. Concert tours

I go to concerts all year but fall is definitely the best time. All of the bands that have been taking breaks to record new music are ready to get back on the road.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
