With the changing of leaves and colder weather upon us, it signals the end of summer and the start of a beautiful fall. Most people are overwhelmed with their first exams in the new semester, but fall is the perfect season to keep you sane and happy. Here are a few reasons why you should still be happy before the snow-pocalypse hits us in a few months.

1. The fall fashion.

There's nothing like fall fashion. From all the different boots you can wear, whether it's short or knee-highs, they're all perfect for fall weather. Let's also not forget about the comfy scarfs and sweaters you can layer over each other. It's perfect for staying warm while still staying stylish.

2. Movies on Disney Channel

"Halloweentown." "Casper the Friendly Ghost." "Hocus Pocus." These are simply the best movies to watch around this time of the year. They get you psyched for Halloween while also giving you nostalgia of how good Disney movies used to be.

3. Halloween Parties

An excuse to dress up all cute and drink a whole lot. But then again, when does a college student need an excuse to drink a lot?

4. Beautiful scenery.

With the leaves changing, it makes for some amazing views. The different colors make it worth going outside and the weather is still nice enough to enjoy it. Also, who doesn't love jumping in a huge pile of leaves?

5. PSL

You already know you're basic if you know what this acronym stands for. That's right, it's the pumpkin spiced latte. You'll spot it in every basic girl's hand as they walk to their 8 a.m.

6. Halloween festivities.

Halloween is basically celebrated throughout the whole month of October. Which, let's face it, is basically fall. In September, the weather is still hot and by November it gets way more chilly. October keeps the balance of hot and cold weather, which makes it perfect for festivities like pumpkin picking, festivals, etc.

7. The food.

For starters, everything is pumpkin flavored, which is a great time for people to experiment with different foods that can make a surprisingly tasty treat. Also, candy aisles are stocked this time of year. The houses that give out the king sized candy bars to trick-or-treaters will always have a special place in your heart.

8. Apple picking.

Perfect time to pick some apples and take a ton of Instas. Plus you can always make apple pies, apple crisp, etc.

9. Lastly, October 18th. The holiday that is the day that Zac Efron was born.
