What We Love About Fall

Each season has its perks, but none quite like the fall. The days where every step we take results in pounds of sweat falling off our bodies are long gone. It's time to relish the crisp, cool weather this time of year brings. It's time to turn off your air conditioners and to open your windows!

There's no denying that the weather is perhaps the most anticipated part of the fall, but honestly there are so many more great aspects. Let's take a look at what are some people favorite things about the fall season.

New Styles

Ah, the time to whip out your favorite sweaters and riding boots. This is the time to bust out your best and most fashionable attire. Men — we all know how much you love spandex and fall is the time when ladies are seen sporting it on the reg. Ladies — it’s now time to whip out your favorite over sized hoodies.

Cool Nights

Your sleeping experience is almost guaranteed to be better in the fall. Everyone knows how difficult it is to fall asleep when it is hot and muggy in your bedroom. Throw on your favorite sweats that you haven't seen since February and cuddle up underneath your comforter that you can finally take out of storage.

Fall Foliage

Everything is just that much prettier in the fall. Sure, snow is great to look at, but it's pretty damn inconvenient when you are walking to work. Summer may leave you nice and bronzed, but that doesn't stop you from dripping sweat after every place you venture to. The changing of the leaves creates beautiful scenery as you walk through most any city.

Seasonal Delicacies

Hot apple cider,Hot Tea, Hot Coco, Pumpkin Spice Lattés from Starbucks, and basically anything pumpkin flavored — enough said.

Lower Electricity Bills

Bills, bills and more bills — ain't nobody got time for that. In the fall, you more than likely aren't going to be racking up intense electricity bills since the need for AC is long gone.

Your Favorite TV Shows Are Back On The Air

The much anticipated season premieres of your favorite television programs are airing in the fall. It's time to put your Netflix account away, as the best shows are airing at this time.

Halloween

Everyone loves a good excuse to get dressed up and to get obliterated. It doesn't matter how old you are, this holiday doesn't have an age limit. Plus, we all know you are looking forward to the 13 days of Halloween on ABC Family. #HocusPocus.

Labor Day And Columbus Day

Who doesn't like a good ol' three-day weekend in consecutive months? Get out of work free card, thank you very much.

No Shave November

Shaving, that annoying necessity that you can't afford to skip during the summer months, becomes more of an option in the fall. Ladies get to trade in their shorts for pants and men all love to participate in Novem-beard.

Bathing Suit Season Is Over

Cast your diets aside and relish in your favorite foods, as you can just cover yourself up with layers and layers of sweaters. No one will be able to notice the extra five pounds you gained since August and honestly no one cares because they are doing the exact same thing. I mean, come on now, you have 7 or 8 more months to get back in shape.

Oktoberfest

Another great excuse to get sh*tfaced in costume! Not like we need any more excuses to partake in such regular behavior, but this century old tradition has to be one of the most fun activities of the fall. Bring on the beer.

Thanksgiving

This is the one time of the year that everyone comes together with their families to celebrate in unison. Not everyone is fortunate enough to see their relatives multiple times a year, but Thanksgiving is a holiday that brings everyone back together again.

Warm Fires

Whether you are cozying up to a good book or a homemade meal, nothing is quite as serene as hanging by the fire. After a long day at work, this can be just what you need to put your mind at ease.

Honestly, everything is just that much better in Autumn wouldn't you agree!

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.
