Growing up in suburban New Jersey, the outside appears to be a different world when Autumn rolls around. The trees turn into a rainbow of red, orange, and yellow hues. People start to wear layers upon layers and the endless lines at Starbucks for the basic Pumpkin Spice latte, become even more everlasting. Don't get me wrong, I love taking a deep breath while staring at the breathtaking sight of leaves gracefully falling and going pumpkin picking; it's a nice break from worrying about if my tan is getting darker. However, I absolutely love Summer and would prefer it over Autumn any day. Here is why:
1. The Temperatures Go Down
I HATE THE COLD. I REPEAT: HATE IT. The temperatures can drop drastically during Autumn and all I want to do is punch her in the face (yes, I refer to Autumn as a female since she can be a b****). All I want to do is put on my bikini and get my beach on.
2. Halloween Costumes
When you were younger you had to be a High School Musical character... or else. Now, as young adults, you have to look for the cutest costume that shows skin without looking too provocative. The main challenge, however, is finding a costume that no one else is wearing (*cough* bunnies *cough*).
3. Layers
Girls... you know what I mean. You want to layer that flannel on that shirt, put on your bubble vest and infinity scarf. Plus, what is a Fall outfit without knee-high boots and leg warmers? Oh, and your bomber jacket. Unfortunately, you might get a heat-stroke when you step outside because even though it is cold, it is not COLD.
4. Horror Movies
This might just be a nuisance for scary-cats like me, but the only movies in the theaters around this time seem to be horror movies. From supernatural activity to murder mysteries, you can bet you will not find me at the theater.
5. Winter is Coming
Literally (shoutout to all my GOT fans). Autumn is just here to torment us until the real disaster strikes... ice, snow, and sadness. AKA Winter.
