These 11 Gifs Perfectly Describe How New Englanders Feel When Fall Rolls Around

In This Article:

Fall, aka autumn, in New England is arguably one of the most beautiful sites. When the leaves start to change colors, the foliage is breathtaking. Fall brings a lot of mixed emotions to the people of New England. Our king, Tom Brady, is back in action, but at the same time, our beautiful beaches are no longer the place to be. Apple picking, Halloween, sweater weather, Thanksgiving and all that fall has to offer are things that people look forward to all year long. However, as seasons change we hate to see the old one go. And the anticipation of seasons to come can be hard to cope with.

1. The first day that's not 90+ degrees

Going from weather in the high 90s to low 70s is a harsh contrast that no one is ever fully ready for. We may have spent all summer complaining about the heat, but we never said we wanted to be "freezing."

2. See you later, summer!

When the temperatures begin to drop, we know that the sweet, sweet summertime has to say good-bye. The start of fall comes hand in hand with cooler weather and do I dare say the "S" word? School.

3. Realizing pumpkin spice is back...

Not everything that comes with fall is all that bad, though. Just think, apple cider, hot chocolate, and all things pumpkin spice are back in stock. Woohoo!

4. & with pumpkin spice season comes "spooky season"...

Pumpkin carving, halloween movies, candy and, of course, halloween Oreos, are some of the best things about the season.

5. ... and sweater weather!

It's time to get comfy & cozy. Bundling up in your favorite sweater, sipping on hot cider and enjoying the foliage... there's not much better than that.

6. Don't forget about apple picking!

The orchards will be in full bloom in no time. Who's excited for apple pie?

7. Thanksgiving is just around the corner

Speaking of pie...

8. Who doesn't love football season?

For many families Thanksgiving and football go hand in hand. Lucky for the fans, though, the season starts right at the brink of fall. We've got a few wonderful months full of football ahead of us. (Go Pats!)

9. Remembering that winter is fast approaching

With all the excitement of fall we can get a bit caught up and forget that it will only last for a very brief amount of time. When we come to that realization, it's a terrifying feeling.

10. Winter brings the good, the bad & the ugly

The snow is beautiful and all, but shoveling? Forget about it.

11. Just a few weeks ago when it was just simply "too hot"

But it's all OK, because we think back to just a few weeks ago when it was just simply "too hot." This serves as a reminder that the seasons go by quickly. We'll be back to melting under the summer sun in no time. For now, we'll just enjoy the fall and make the best out of messy New England winters!

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.
