From the fallen leaves to the smell of pumpkin pie, what is there to not love about fall?! It seems to be the one season everybody can get on board with. And if you haven't found that sense of excitement within yourself yet, then sit back and take in the many reasons why your heart should be skipping with the joy at that first breath of fresh, fall air.
1. The autumn air.
Because nothing beats that crisp, fresh, fall scent that rejuvenates you.
2. Pumpkin everything.
You had to expect this on the list. As basic as it may be, we all know pumpkin spice lattes are a go-to the second September hits. Thank you, Starbucks.
3. The clothes.
Cardigans, boots, and scarves galore! Bring on the chill, and bring out the sweaters. Nothing is better than looking cute and feeling comfy at the same time.
4. The scenery.
Burnt oranges, deep reds, subdued yellows all around. Nothing brings on a homier feel than when you see the trees changing colors.
5. Football.
Packed stadiums, sh*t talk, cheering until you lose your voice, the adrenaline rush, fantasy football! The start of a new season is always exciting. Let’s go, Giants!
6. New year, new you.
The new school year is beginning and what better way to start fresh than getting organized and prepared to kick a** this semester. Let the past live in the past, and set new goals for you to conquer!
7. Disney Halloween movies.
All of our favorites, "Hocus Pocus," "Don’t Look Under The Bed," "Mom’s Got a Date with a Vampire," "Halloweentown," and "Under Wraps!" All classics that are bound to make the inner-kid in you leap for joy when you catch them on TV.
8. Cuddles.
Nothing is cozier than cuddling up in sweaters with a blanket and your significant other for a night in. The weather is perfect for it.
9. Hot cocoa and cider.
What better way to have some “you time” than with a hot cup of cocoa or cider while you nestle into your couch at home. Or better yet, enjoy the two around a fire in the woods with your best friends, s’mores and favorite flannel.
10. Bye, bye humidity.
Goodbye frizz, hello hair that actually stays in place! Few things are more satisfying than being able to straighten your hair, and know that it will stay straight as you venture outside.
11. Halloween candy.
The idea of candy corn and trick-or-treating probably brings back some of your finest childhood memories. I mean who doesn’t love free treats?!
12. Apples.
Apple picking, caramel dipped apples, spiced apple scents, and apple cinnamon candles. Nothing fills my heart more with joy.
13. Corn mazes.
Flashback to the good ol’ days where you and the family would go through corn mazes in your flannel get-up, sneaking around corners to pop out at one another. Bring back the simple times!
14. Haunted houses.
Yes, yes, yes, who doesn’t love the thrill of a good haunted house? Nothing but pure adrenaline and theatrics that make you scream like a baby. This has all your friends laughing at you. It’s all in good fun!
15. Halloween costumes.
Let’s be honest, the older you get, the more “creative” the costumes become. Who doesn’t love a good Halloween party for adults only?
16. The falling of leaves.
The sound of leaves crunching beneath your feet and the sight of people jumping into piles has you enjoying the simple things in life. Don’t get me wrong, snowfall is beautiful, but the sight of fallen leaves is majestic all on its own.
17. Thanksgiving.
Family get-togethers, that one drunk uncle, finally sitting at the adult’s table, and more are all great reasons to love Thanksgiving! Let’s not forget the best reason of all, the FOOD! So many things to be thankful for and a holiday dedicated to just that. Serves as a great reason to look forward to the season of fall.
18. Pies.
Apple, pumpkin, sweet potato, and many more flavored pies! All delicious, and all fall favorites. Who else is excited about gaining that holiday weight?!
19. Fireplaces.
Bring on that cozy feeling of snuggling up in your favorite pjs while watching a movie in front of the fire. Such a simple joy.
20. Halloween Oreos.
Last, but most definitely NOT least, HALLOWEEN OREOS! It doesn’t matter what people say, they do taste different and they ARE better. If you disagree, that’s a shame. You’re missing out.
