Everyone has a favorite season. Some enjoy winter; they like the cold weather, freshly fallen snow and Christmastime. Others love spring; they enjoy seeing the rebirth of life: the baby birds and blooming flowers. Others like the sweltering heat of summer; they enjoy trips to the beach and grilling fresh burgers and veggies. Others love fall; they love the crisp air, the changing leaves and the overall romanticized atmosphere of autumn. Even if fall is not your favorite season, here are 13 reasons why you should look forward to this upcoming season.
1. Cooler Weather
Even those who love the heat of summer get tired of the constant 90-degree heat. Fall brings in cooler temperatures that make the days more enjoyable.
2. Changing Leaves
Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year. The world becomes painted in vibr�ant red, oranges and golds. This is something everyone can look forward to.
3. Leaf jumping
You are never too old to embrace your inner kid and jump into a giant pile of leaves, as demonstrated by this adorable puppy!
4. Fall festivals
No fall festival would be complete without a hayride!
5. Pumpkin and Apple Picking
Nothing says fall like freshly picked produce!
6. Pumpkin Flavored Everything!
One of my favorite drinks from Starbucks is the pumpkin spice latte. I am counting down the days until it returns!
7. Bonfires
There is nothing better than sitting next to a bonfire and roasting marshmallows for s'mores on a chilly autumn night.
8. Returning to School
As an English major who loves school, I enjoy returning after the long summer break to take interesting literature classes, live on campus and see familiar faces!
9. Football Games
Nothing screams school spirit like attending a football game in the fall!
10. Decorating
There's not anything more fun than decorating your home or dorm for fall, the holidays, etc.
11. Halloween
Halloween is a great day to dress up, hand out candy and watch scary movies!
12. Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday of eating great food and spending time with friends and family.
13. Christmas is just right around the corner!
I know what you're thinking. Christmas is in December, which is in the season of winter. After fall comes winter. After Thanksgiving comes Christmas. As someone who loves Christmas and decorates soon after Halloween, this is a reason to look forward to fall!
