Fall is a magical time of year. The leaves change colors, the weather gets nicer, Pumpkin Spice Lattes become available at Starbucks... basically everything is better in the Fall! If you aren't as excited as me for the Fall season to start here are 10 reasons why you should be:
1. Pumpkin spice flavored everything
Pumpkin spice flavored Cheerios, candy corn, potato chips, ice cream, bread, beer, Oreos, .... the list goes on.
2. Pumpkin Spice Lattes
Hands down the best part about Fall is the debut of the Pumpkin Spice Latte, (which is why I gave it it's own category)! I cannot even put into words how delicious this gift from God is, you are just going to have to try it yourself.
3. Leaves
You can sit/jump in piles of them, take pictures of them, walk through them, craft with them.. you can basically do anything with them! And for some unexplainable reason leaves are just so much fun. One of my favorite fall childhood memories is gathering up my friends and sitting together in a big pile of leaves.
4. Apple picking
Apple picking is very similar to sitting in piles of leaves. No one really knows why it's fun but it is.
5. Oversized sweaters
Didn’t get achieve that bikini body you were hoping for this summer? No worries! Just throw on an oversized sweater. They're trendy, they'll keep you warm, and they'll camouflage the excess weight you may or may not gain from indulging in all those pumpkin spice flavored goodies.
6.The weather
It’s not too hot that you’ll sweat your makeup off yet not too cold where you’re so bundled up it’s hard to move. The weather is absolutely perfect.
7. Back to school shopping
You don't even have to be in school to enjoy/participate in "back to school" shopping! All of your favorite clothing stores are going to have massive back to school sales and there is going to be a wider variety of office supplies which will also be on sale. Who can resist buying a brand new box of freshly sharpened yellow #2 pencils or an entire new wardrobe?
8. Holidays
Halloween. Thanksgiving. National Sandwich Day (Nov. 3). Need I say more?
9. The return of your favorite TV shows.
The return of fall means the return of all your favorite TV shows. No more summer TV show reruns! I'm personally looking forward to the upcoming season of American Horror Story.
10. Football
Okay, I'm going to be totally honest. I am not really a big football fan, however I do enjoy going to tailgates and the other social aspects of the sport. For those of you who are football fans, I imagine your excitement for the upcoming season is similar to my excitement for the release of Pumpkin Spice Lattes.
Let the Fall countdown begin!
