Fall is finally here and I'm in love with it. It means the beginning of many of my favorite things and the end of sweat and heat that drains the south. These are the reasons I am and will always be obsessed with fall:

1. The leaves and their color change and jumping into the piles of glory.

Who doesn't want to jump into a pile of dead things and dig them out of your hair for two hours

2. The smells of bonfires and s'mores.

Because who doesn't want to smell like a firefighter and have to wash every piece of clothing you were wearing when they get home?

3. Finally wearing leggings and big t-shirts with flannels and considered "in style" and not homeless.

Nobody will know the difference in what you sleep in and what you walk out in.

4. New holiday food

Fourth plate down and you still have the dessert table...

5. Hot drinks = happiness

It is now socially acceptable to drink five cups of coffee or hot chocolate a day

6. Not melting when you walk outside

No more sweat and wearing the least amount of clothes possible to walk to your car is a thought of the past.

7. The holidays are in sight

It's closer to Christmas which means it's closer to presents, snow, and joy all around.

8. Football season and cold nights

Even if you don't understand or like football; you can't deny the need to go to the game.

9. Putting up Christmas decorations (see #7)

Probably putting them up too early, but who makes the rules of how early is too early?

10. New beginnings

New year; new me amirite?
