As we have officially crossed into the month of October, all things autumn are starting to emerge across the country. It's time for brown leaves, pumpkin flavored everything and bundling up in a nice, soft sweater. Unfortunately for me, I despise most of those things. Fall is the worst season out of all the seasons, to be honest. While winter is bad because of the weather, at least everyone acknowledges how bad winter is. For some reason, people front like fall is so great and every year it disappoints. People need to understand why fall is so terrible.
Pumpkin is GROSS.
This is the main thing I just don't understand. Not only is the smell of warm pumpkins nauseating, but the taste is even worse. I don't know who's bright idea it was to make everything have a pumpkin flavor, but they need to catch these hands. There is no need for everything to taste like pumpkin. Sure, a few things here and there are nice, but once you start messing with the sacred beauty that is an Oreo, you've crossed the line.
Halloween is the most hyped holiday of all time.
Sure, Halloween is great for children. It doesn't get any better than going to a stranger's house and demanding candy with the threat of tomfoolery. However, once you cross the age of 11, it certainly loses its charm. Adults try to act like they have fun on Halloween, but I guess you make whatever excuse you need to get drunk and dress like a psycho.
Thus begins the eternal cold in my home.
This is definitely a personal problem, but it is a problem nonetheless. Each year, when the first leaf falls, my mother decides it is officially time to turn the AC and the heater off. Her reasoning is that we have enough blankets so who could possibly be cold. Me. I'm cold. I'm not saying our house gets cold enough for me to see my breath at night, but I once found a spider frozen on the wall so...
Summer is just so much better.
At the end of the day, everyone who claims to love fall is really just sad that summer is over. Or they're a crazy person you need to stay away from, there's no in between. Everyone knows summer is the greatest time to be alive, the warm weather giving everyone a sense of freedom and enjoyment. There are so many wonderful activities to do during the summer that you can't do during the fall, when it's getting cold. Plus, people tend to be more happy during the summer, and that's the most important thing. People are actually happy instead of fake happy like they are during fall.
