The time of year has come where the air is a little crisper, people are a little sweeter, and it always smells like pumpkin or apple. Fall is the greatest season of all, (in my opinion) and here are a few reasons why.

1. The cutest clothes are worn in the fall: flannels, scarves, big sweaters, boots and leggings. There is so much more room for creativity in your outfits in the fall, and you have so many more options!

2. Its OK to be a bum: you can put on your biggest sweatshirt and leggings and be nice and cozy, and its fine. Everyone does it and you still look cute!

3. Pumpkin Spice and everything nice: it's the season to be basic. From Pumpkin Spice Lattes to hot chocolate and everything in between its the season for yummy warm drinks on your way to class and nuzzled up in a blanket by the fire at home.

4. Pumpkin patches, apple picking and bonfires: going to do fun things like pick out a pumpkin and carve it with friends or going on an apple picking date or a night time bonfire with friends, fall is the best time to get together with your friends and do something outside!

5. It's cuffing season: it's the time of year where everyone needs a cuddle buddy and someone to exchange Christmas gifts with. Chilly air and the holiday spirit usually calls for a companion. Click for some fun fall date ideas!

6. Here come the holidays: for college students in particular, this is the best time of year. We get to go home and be around friends and family we haven't seen in months and most importantly -- EAT REAL FOOD. The holidays are always something to look forward to this time of year.

7. Everything is more beautiful: the leaves are changing, decorations are going up and the scenery is at its best. Take a minute to enjoy the beautiful things of fall- after all it only comes once a year!

Take advantage of these things this fall! Hold your loved ones a little tighter, rent cheesy holiday movies, get some hot apple cider, wrap up in a blanket and enjoy this beautiful season. Happy fall everyone!
