Everyone loves this season for so many reasons. Whether it's, what you want to do with you best friends, what new drinks to have, what new clothes you can wear or what Halloween plans you will make. You know the second it becomes October, the Fall festivities begin! You can practically smell all the pumpkin spice in the air as you walk past a coffee shop. You see every girl wearing the "basic white girl" clothes and carrying a Starbucks in their hand. You see all the pictures on Instagram with different groups of friends and couples at the Pumpkin Patch trying to be the "total sorority girl," or the "cutest couple," but they're all the same. It's almost required to post things like that. I mean, was it really October if you didn't post about getting a Pumpkin Spice Latte?
So now, where, and when, and what can we do to enjoy October?
Breast Cancer Awareness Month! October may be known for the fun costumes and getting candy, but there is also something more important. Paint the town pink, is something Port Jefferson does, and everywhere you look there will be a pink ribbon to symbolize Breast Cancer Awareness. My college supports the walk by holding multiple fundraisers, and holding a Kick-Off Party to get everyone prepared! We as a college will be walking at the Jones Beach Walk this Sunday, October 18.
Those delicious pumpkin spice lattes! Everyone loves a good pumpkin drink, but what other kinds of drinks are there? If you're a caramel person, you'd love the Salted Caramel Mocha from Starbucks too! Or you can make the drinks at home! Totally in love with this recipe!
It may be pumpkin season, but apples must never be forgotten! I love making my own apple chips with cinnamon on top! YUM! It's such a great snack and healthy too! Also very easy to make! I've done the recipe before and they come out great! Other than chips, there's the apple cider! Where else would be better to get some than at a pumpkin patch!? I love the smell and taste of a warm cup of apple cider after spending the day out east. It's almost what makes the day perfect! Even better too, apple caramel sangria. Something to make, a night by the fire, just a little bit sweeter!
This is also the best exercise weather! It's not too hot that you're going to sweat like crazy, but it's also not too cold that you'll freeze. You'll be able to take a walk around the block wearing a sweatshirt and come back feeling great! You can go to the park and work out while not having the beaming sun on you and just be out in the air!
There are so many great things about October that people don't realize because there are so many factors to the month!
