Below are ten things to look forward to in the fall.
1. Sweater Weather
Let me say it again, SWEATER WEATHER! The best weather there is. You don't have to worry about sweating the second you step outside or freeze your ass off within seconds in the winter. It is the perfect weather because you are just comfortable. You don't a jacket or have to be bundled up in a huge puffy winter coat.
2. Football Games
Whether you're playing in them, just tailgating for it, or cheering in the stands football games are something else. The whole town gets together to help cheer on your team to victory.
3. The holiday season
Fall means the start of all the holidays! You get to see your extended family, eat amazing treats, and spend time with your loved ones. There is a holiday at least every month, so there is always something to look forwards to. Plus, you get breaks from school almost every month which never hurts.
4. Leaves changing colors
Personally, this is one of my favorite things about the fall. It is so pretty seeing all the leaves change into so many different shades of red, orange, and yellow. It is just so beautiful to see so many different colors all over the place.
5. No more bugs
Besides hot weather, bugs are the arguably the worst part about summer. Now you don't have to worry about getting bitten my mosquitos in the night or having bees attack you during the day.
6. Seeing your school friends again
For college students, you get to see your friends from around the country you didn't get to see over the summer. And for high school students, you can see all of your "school friends" you never stayed in touch with over the summer.
7. Apple picking
This is such a fun fall activity! You get to explore the apple farms and have fun with your family or friends. Then after you can make amazing apple cinnamon pie!
8. Pumpkin patches
Pumpkin patches bring back so many great memories from my childhood. I got together with my extended family and we would all go to the pumpkin patch and go through a corn maze or a haunted house. You get to pick out your pumpkins you are going to carve and indulge in a cinnamon donut and apple cider!
9. The movies
It's time for horror movies and cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies. Even if you say you hate them, you know you secretly love them. You can't go through the holiday season without watching at least one.
10. Your summer job is over
For most people, during the summer is when you have the horrible internships or lousy summer jobs. But, with fall starting up that means your horrible summer jobs are over! They always make for some great stories and memories to look back on, but while you are in it, they are the worst. For those of you that loved your summer job, you're the lucky ones in life.
