For those of us fortunate enough to experience all four seasons, autumn is commonly regarded as one of the favorites. Personally, I am in love with fall/autumn and what comes with it. Let's explore the fun activities and notions that come with autumn!
Leaves: Like many people, I appreciate the changing of the leaves. Even if you look at it in the morbid sense that these leaves are dying because they aren't getting enough sunlight, there is something...poetic (?) about it. The leaves show that life comes and goes, but there can be beauty found in all stages of life and sometimes the best times are those when your life is coming to a close. Plus, it's wonderful to take pictures of these warm reds, oranges and yellows amongst the crisp blue skies that autumn is loved for.
Crisp Air: It's almost hard to describe this characteristic of autumn. But, for those of you who know what I'm talking about, it's the feeling of the air around you when you first get up in the morning, where your nose is a little chilled if you step outside. There is this unique feeling that doesn't happen during the other seasons. I usually want to sit on a porch/patio, curled up in a sweatshirt and blanket, read a good book and drink some tea or hot chocolate. The crisp air makes me feel like I should go on a walk and just enjoy life.
Clothing: With the arrival of fall, comes the arrival of some of the best clothing items: sweaters and boots. I love being able to pull on a light-weight sweater and a comfy pair of jeans or leggings and be ready for the day. Sweaters are cute and comfy and can make a casual outfit feel a little bit more dressed up or if it's an old sweatshirt that you got for five bucks at Goodwill, you can be a little bit more like a typical college student and throw on a baseball cap as well. Then it comes to the boots, THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT KINDS! But that's great because people have different desires for their boots. Some like the riding style boots that go up to the knee, whereas some like the combat style. Whatever style you like, now is the perfect time to don them and flaunt them.
Activities: From pumpkin and apple picking to football games, there are a wide amount of varieties that fit all personality types. Autumn means that it is football season, which means you can spend your Sundays, lazing about and cheering on your favorite team. Or if you don't watch football, you can chill at your friend's house and just eat food and laugh at how into the sport your friend gets. Apple and pumpkin picking is such a fun activity to do with your friends, significant other or family (or maybe all three!) You are able to get out into nature and have some awesome photo opportunities and just spend some quality time together
Holidays: HALLOWEEN, need I say more?
There is so much about the season of fall, that I just can't fully express how much I love about it. The fact that I can wear a light sweatshirt and not be sweating or freezing is just great or that my favorite sport is back. Everything about this season just makes me happy, even if it does come with Pumpkin Spice everything (which I do enjoy now and again)
