7 Reasons Autumn Is The Best Season Of The Year

Author's Photo

Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year, I love that it can be cold, but not too cold. Fall is the time for fuzzy socks and warm drinks. The leaves change colors and I am allowed to wear all the sweaters in my closet.

There is so much I love about Fall and what comes with it.

1. Halloween

Halloween is my favorite holiday by far. The candy, the dressing up, I love it all. Halloween is the one time of year that you can dress up and not be judged for letting your inner child free.

2. Warm Tea

I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but nothing makes me feel better than cozying up with a warm cup of tea. Tea and a good book on a nice fall day can is the best feeling.

3. Fall Clothes

Fall weather brings fall clothes, and I am definitely here for big cozy sweaters.

4. The Leaves

I love how many colors there are, the different hues of reds, oranges, and yellows. I love the sound of leaves crunching underneath my boots as I walk through the colors. I love leaf piles big enough for me to jump into.

5. Wizarding Weekend (This one is for mostly being in Ithaca)

What says Halloween and Autumn more than a wizarding festival? Answer, nothing. Harry Potter is the epitome of fall and what fall feels like. Harry Potter brings witches and warlocks from everywhere together to celebrate in the Ithaca Commons a spooky celebration.

6. 31 Nights of Halloween

Freeform has decided to change thirteen nights of Halloween to Thirty One Nights of Halloween and I am honestly living for it. Watching Halloween movies is my favorite pastime. Autumn is also my excuse to force my friends to watch scary movies with me.

7. Decorating

The minute it turns October 31st my room is transformed. I love adding halloween and fall decorations that will not come down until christmas. Our door is decorated with fake eyes and signs, and my dresser has glittered pumpkins all over it.

Autumn is my favorite season because of everything it brings. I appreciate the atmosphere it brings and all the experiences that come.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.

Perfect Weather

You don't have to worry about bug bites

In n Out all day, every day

We have outdoor concerts

We live where people vacation

Because let's be honest, we all use lyrics.

1. “Don’t get too close, it’s dark inside. It's where my demons hide.”

2. “Tonight, we are young.”

3. “Cuz I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it.”

4. “Tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame.”

5. “I can’t wait to fall in love with you, you can’t wait to fall in love with me.”

6. “Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with no makeup on.”

7. “Why you so obsessed with me?”

8. “We ain’t ever getting older.”

9. “I didn’t know that I was starving until I tasted you.”

10. “Didn’t they tell you I’m a savage?"

11. “I’m gonna make you miss me.”

12. "Cheers to the freakin weekend.”

13. “Love’s a game. Wanna play?”

14. “You don’t know about me, but I bet you want to.”

15. “Let’s set each other’s lonely nights, Be each other’s paradise.”

16. “Trippin’ on skies, sippin’ waterfalls."

17. “Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days.”

18. “But you will remember me for centuries.”

19. “Something about you makes me feel like a dangerous woman."

20. “Don’t act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me.”

21. “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”

22. “Find me where the wild things are.”

23. “I’m high on lovin’ you.”

24. “If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak, somebody’s mistake, if you’re gonna be somebody’s first time, somebody’s last time, be mine.”

25. “Don’t be afraid to take the road less traveled on.”

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

1. "Talk about a dream Try to make it real You wake up in the night With a fear so real Spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)

2. "It's a town full of losers/ I'm pulling out of here to win" (Thunder Road)

3. "You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above" (Tunnel of Love)

4. "I got something in my heart/ I been waitin' to give/ I got a life I wanna start/ One I been waitin' to live" (Leah)

5. “God have mercy on the man/ Who doubts what he’s sure of” (Brilliant Disguise)

7. “Is a dream a lie when it don’t come true, or is it something worse?” (The River)

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
