"If you say "pumpkin spice latte" 3 times in front of a mirror a white girl in yoga pants will appear and tell you her favorite things about fall."

1. Lets face it 60-70 degree weather is great.

Especially if you live in North Carolina. It's the perfect time of year weather wise, because after a long hot 100 degree summer its nice to cool down to a comfortable temperature before the below 0 winters come in. Cool crisp mornings and sunny afternoons can make even a Monday feel better.

2. Everything pumpkin.

Buy a girl anything pumpkin spice flavored and she will love you forever! Starbucks pumpkin spice lattes will melt your heart and make you anxious for fall to come back around. My all time favorite are the pumpkin splice muffins, pumpkin bread, and plain old roasted pumpkin seeds.

3. Football season..or should I say marching season

Friday night football is always something I look forward to each year, not because of the football but because of what comes along with it. Homecoming which is lead by a whole week of fun activities at school otherwise known as "Spirit week." Also the fact that most of the people you see at our home games aren't even there for the football team...they are there to see the halftime show.

4. Flannel, boots, oversized sweatshirts, leggings, scarves, etc.

Need I say more?

5. Nature really shows off.

Seeing the leaves change colors and cover the ground really looks beautiful to me. It's amazing to see the red, brown, yellow, and orange colors that line the sides of the road and yards. Of course its a pain to rake them up but then you have a leave pile to jump in...so I think its a win, win situation.

6. THANKSGIVING!!!!!!

Lets be real here, who doesn't love a holiday based off stuffing your face with the people who love you? As an avid eater I have to say thanksgiving may easily be my favorite holiday. Thankfully it only comes once a year, otherwise I may to need to go up a size in jeans.
