With autumn beginning this week, let's get into the season's spirit! This is definitely the most anticipated season.
I don't know about you, but I love EVERYTHING pumpkin. I tend to freak out and go overboard once September hits, because I know that fall is right around the corner. I don't think I could name one person that dislikes the fall and there are many reasons why.
1. PUMPKIN EVERYTHING. Pumpkin cookies. Pumpkin bread. Pumpkin spice lattes (thank you, Starbucks). Pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin candles. ANYTHING.
2. Crisp, cold air. We may not get this as much in Texas, but we will have those random October cool fronts where every girl breaks out her leggings and Uggs. Everyone is happier when it's not 100 degrees outside.
3. Halloween. We all need an excuse to wear a silly costume - Halloween is perfect for this and begins the holiday season.
4. Halloween MOVIES. Disney Channel's MonstoberFest, ABC Family's 13 Days of Halloween and more. The month of October is filled with Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown and all of your favorite Halloween movies (scary movies as well if you're brave enough!).
5. Football games. They are just a bit more enjoyable when you aren't drenched in sweat, right?
6. FALL FASHION. Flannels, leggings, cute boots, sweaters, etc. It's a lot easier to dress cute AND be comfortable in the fall.
7. Fall break. Midterms come around and just in time, we have Fall Break! It's good to go home in the middle of the semester for a refreshing, long weekend.
8. Homecoming. The homecoming parade, alumni coming back and football make for a great fall weekend!
9. Haunted houses. How fun (scary) are they?!
10. Fall food.SOUP, pies, squash, pumpkins and more.
11. Pumpkin patches. Grab all of your friends and roommates and take cute pictures at the pumpkin patch! I still have mine from freshman year, and y'all, they turned out so cute.
12. The leaves change color. Enough said.
13. Carving pumpkins. Getting to carve a pumpkin and then bake all of the pumpkin seeds afterward!
14. Fall premieres! Your shows come back on TV. Time to be addicted to Modern Family again.
15. Hayrides. I don't think anyone actually does this, but it would be a lot cooler if we did.
16. Bonfires. Probably the most enjoyable, yet relaxing thing in the whole world. Add some s'mores and you're all set.
17. THANKSGIVING. The holiday that tends to end the Fall season. You get to eat all the food in the world, hang out with your relatives and watch football. What could be better than that? Oh, yeah - the fact that Christmas is coming up next!
Happy Fall, y'all!
