Why Autumn Is the Best Season

Pumpkin spice, baggy sweaters, and Trick-or-Treating.

The word ‘autumn’ alone is such a pretty sounding word, yet there is so much more to this enchanting season that really puts it above all the others. Summer-lovers, I encourage you to keep an open mind while reading these valid points.

Holidays

What else could be better than dressing up as your favorite or celebrity or inanimate object and prancing around with your friends, receiving unending heaps of candy? Or, if you’re like me and a smidge too old for that (even though you really want to, but it’s not socially acceptable without people thinking you’re a pedophile or mentally insane), you still throw on a costume, but instead go to a super fun Halloween party with spiked witch’s brew punch and candy corn-flavored shots.

Scenery

No one can deny that autumn is by far the most colorful season with its strikingly beautiful leaves and pale-colored skies. Nothing can satisfy a soul faster than a cluster of trees, all painted bright yellow and candy apple red. Speaking of apples...

Food

From yummy pumpkin pies to pumpkin spice lattes, you will surely find any food with a pumpkin flavor option. Not to mention warm cinnamon sangria and homemade apple pies to warm you up from the outside chill! Lastly, don’t forget about when Thanksgiving comes around and the table is jam-packed with pies, potatoes, and turkey galore.

Clothing

And who cares if you put on a little extra poundage from all that yummy food? At least you have comfy, over-sized sweaters to cover it up! It’s honestly a blessing when you can go to class in basically tight sweatpants (leggings) paired with a pullover and still look half decent. And for when you go out, booties are always a solid choice that are much comfier than the average heel.

Neutral weather

Personally, I’m not a summer person. There is nothing glamorous about the hot 98-degree sun slowly melting off your face makeup and bringing your skin to a harsh, cherry red. Autumn gives off that warm, soft glow but chilly wind at the same time, making it the perfect temperature to play sports outside or have a lazy day in when you feel like it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
