Fall is notorious as the “back to school” season, but it is so much more than that. It is so much better than winter, spring, and summer, and here is why:
1. The Weather
Fall is undoubtedly the best time of the year because it’s not so hot outside that you feel sticky or so cold that you can’t move. Being able to step outside and feel the cool crisp air is refreshing, and even if you’re one of those people that’s always cold, just make find a fireplace to sit in front of because nothing feels more cozy. Also, the leaves!!! Do I have to say anymore? If you don’t live in New England, come visit, because the foliage will just make you happier.
2. The Food
Okay, it’s not for everyone, but it’s certainly one of my favorite things about fall: pumpkins. Pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, and honestly whatever it is, if it has the word pumpkin in it, I’ll probably eat it. But it’s not just that! Hot tea and apple cider makes any morning in fall a thousand times better, and a small handful of candy corn makes the afternoon so much sweeter. And even if none of this appeals to you, Thanksgiving is in Fall and definitely a night of spectacular food!
3. Halloween
I’m sorry whether you’re in 2nd grade or college, Halloween is one of the best holidays out there and don’t try to argue me on that. Costumes? Candy? Parties? Yes, please, I’ll take it all. If that’s not your thing, just stay in and watch some of the best Halloween movies out there aka Hocus Pocus.
4. The Clothes
Thick socks and boots, leggings, sweaters, scarves, and beanies. Fall is the season of coziness because of the clothes. If you like being comfortable, then I know you’re not upset about summer ending because it means fall is right around the corner. Also, blankets galore! It’s all about snuggling in Fall, whether it’s with a blanket, your pet, or significant other, get to it.
5. Television
Not only does every series on television pick up again and make my life that much better, but also football! Making Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays just a little more exciting, football brings family and friends together like no other. Get excited for a great season!
6. The Activities
Fall just brings so much fun to wherever you are. County festivals are one of my favorite things to do in the fall; the great food and the even better friends to experience it all with. Also going to pumpkin patches and picking a pumpkin to make a jack-o-lantern out of or going apple picking and taking a bite into the juiciest, most delicious apple of the season cannot be topped.
This is why I love fall and why you should love it too. So much about it just makes everyone feel better because it’s a mix of every other season.
