Ah, September, the month that marks the official end of summer, football season, a change in the weather, and all the red, yellow, and pumpkin spice all up in your newsfeed. Here are some of the Instagram trends you're bound to see this fall:
A Firm Grip on a PSL
Yes, I want one of these. Yes they are delicious. No I will not order one and subject myself to the judgements of the barista and the entire line of Starbucks patroons behind me. Instead I'll find a Starbucks with a drive through. 😛
Your Friend in a Pumpkin Patch
Why get your pumpkin from Kroger when you could drive to a rural area and wear an impractical outfit to do the farmers job for them. And in case you are incapable of dressing yourself, there are even blogs out there dedicated to telling you exactly what to wear to a pumpkin patch. Come on guys. STOP. JUST STOP.
Leaves
Once a year in nearly every state in the US the leaves change colors because trees stop photosynthesis for the winter, and the chlorophyll breaks down, the green color disappears, and the yellow, orange, and red colors become visible giving the Instagramers of the world a chance to pretend they are professional photographers. I'm guilty of this too, because fall is god-damn-mother-f-ing beautiful.
Hats That Don't Serve a Purpose
Acceptable reasons to wear a wide-brim hat: you're a 21st century cowboy, you didn't wash your hair today (or yesterday)... thats it. There are no other reasons.
SWEATERS
🙏One day I hope we can all live in a world where we can wear oversized sweaters and leggings year round. Stay snuggly my friends. 🙏
Hiking
This is another area in which I wholeheartedly approve of you instagraming. I'll like the shit out a hiking picture and then ask for detailed directions about how to get to that exact spot where you took that picture. I want to be this girl.
Bonfires
Am I the only one who can never get their marshmallow perfectly done so that the chocolate actually melts? I always end up biting into some hard chocolate and watching my s'more crumble in my hand. Its a sad sight, but not as bad as those people out there who blacken their 'mallows. SMH. I guess some men just want to watch the world burn.
Tailgating
Tailgating: the original pregame. Every Saturday your Newsfeed is sure to be littered with tipsy tailgaters, sorority squats, and fanny packs. Some tailgaters are out with high hopes for their respective teams, others have no idea who is actually playing.
