HAPPY OFFICIAL FALL-TIME!!! September 21st is here, and that means autumn has begun. If you're like me, your fall-time began when pumpkin coffee made its debut and Halloween stores opened their gates mid-August. I. LOVE. FALL. Honestly, if I don't participate in enough fall activities as physically possible, I literally become depressed. Fall is such a beautiful season, and I cannot be more joyous that it is finally here. You will most likely never meet another person who loves autumn and Halloween season as much as I do.
That being said, here are 12 reasons I will love fall for all of eternity:
1. HALLOWEEEEEEEN!!!
Umm....HELLO!! Halloween! Dressing up, doing cool make-up, going to parties, all of it. I love Halloween!!
2. Haunted Houses.
If you don't go to 5+ different haunted hayrides/houses during fall, did you even live through Sept-Nov?? I think NOT.
3. Pumpkin Spice EVERYTHING.
Yes, I'm that gal. I love pumpkin flavored things, and I hate that you can usually only get them around fall-time. I guess it makes it worth the wait!
4. Apple/Pumpkin Picking!
There's just something about traveling to a beautiful farm and spending almost all day in the sun running around picking fruits and knocking on pumpkins to see which is best, and it'll never get old.
5. Six Flags FRIGHTFEST!!
If you don't have a Six Flags around you, boy do I feel bad. FrightFest at Six Flags is the most amazing thing ever. By 5 P.M. every night, the park changes from fun to scary, and it is SO cool. I love going to FrightFest at least three times each year!
6. Cuddles.
Winter is in the near future, which means that it's cuddle season!! I love turning off the lights, opening all the windows, and just laying cuddled up with my boyfriend in our bed. It's nice to smell the fall air and hear the trees blowing in the wind!
7. Perfect weather.
Fall is right when summer ends, and before winter begins. That means that the weather is perfect. It's not scorching hot, but it's not too cold yet. You could still be wearing shorts, or you could wear a light jacket and never be too hot or cold!
8. Thanksgiving.
YES! Fall means holidays like Halloween, MY BIRTHDAY, and Thanksgiving!!! We all get to gather around a giant dinner table with our families and eat a bunch of wonderfully cooked food while appreciating the company.
9. Football!!!
Duh! Football games, Thanksgiving day games, and more!
10. The beautiful colors.
Leaves are changing, the skies get darker earlier and brighter later, and nature is amazingly colorful at this time of year.
11. The smells of the air.
Life smells like a Yankee Candle in the fall. There are scents of pumpkin, apple, cider, spices, and leaves. It all blends together to make the ultimate fall smell.
12. The overall mood.
I can't describe it easily in words, but fall puts a smile on my face and a happy feeling in my heart. I love the feeling of it being fall, it is just a great time. Everyone is happy, there is so much to do, and it's truly heartwarming.
Did I mention I FRICKIN LOVE FALL????
