When the first leaf of fall hits the ground, or when the first cool breeze blows through the air, it seems like everyone drops what they are doing to go put on a sweater and grab a coffee. With cooler temperatures, football being played, and sweet, cozy family time, there are so many things to love about fall.

1. Colder Weather

This one is an important one. No more profuse sweating on the way to class, no more burning hot cars, no more just plain being hot all the time

2. Fall Clothes

This goes hand in hand with colder weather, but fall clothes are the best clothes. Sweaters, scarves, boots, jeans. Just all-around cozy clothes. Not to mention, there’s no need for that summer body anymore because huge sweaters are definitely a thing.

3. The Food

Pumpkin pie, pumpkin everything, hot coffee, fresh baked holiday goods, any type of home-cooked meal during the holidays. Those cozy sweaters come in handy when you eat so much of that wonderful Thanksgiving food and need to hide the food bump you have.

4. The Holidays

Family time, food, no school, no stress. I love the fall holidays. Halloween and Thanksgiving are some of the very best holidays of the year. Spending time with family after being in school for a semester is a must for de-stressing.

5. Football

There’s nothing like football season. College football, pro football, and high school football.

So, in the words of F. Scott Fitzgerald, “Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.” Enjoy the cool weather while you can, before the snow and extremely cold weather hits.
