This is for the people who reject the notion that summer is the Queen Bey of the seasons - the ones who appreciate depth, beauty and utter spookiness. This is for the people that know these things to be true:
1. You can never bake..or eat..too many pies.
And you never, ever, ever feel guilty about it.
2. The seasonal drink menus are endless and overwhelming.
You understand that while the beloved pumpkin spice latte is a must, hot chocolate and warm cider need some love once in a while, too.
3. Halloween movies consume your life.
With titles ranging from "Twitches" on Disney Channel, to the 8 film "Halloween" series featuring psycho-murderer Michael Myers, you have spent countless hours cuddled up next to your pets (or significant other..or any fluffy object that could possibly shield you in the case of possible home invasion) watching every hilarious, gory, scream-worthy scene.
4. Fall has incomparable beauty.
Changing leaves, vibrant sunsets and increasingly bare trees...you know that fall is definitely #aesthetic.
5. Seasonal clothing is mandatory.
But it's not just sweater weather you're excited about - your collection of warm socks is unprecedented, you own more pajama sets than swimsuits, and you have a flannel in every shade of red.
6. Halloween is the holiday.
Christmas is great, but you would rather have fake blood and all-you-can-eat candy (shout out the the lovely people who pass out the full sized candy bars) than stockings and sugar cookies.
7. Pumpkins make the best art.
Carving, painting, and crafting gives you the opportunity to unleash your inner Picasso, and, in the spirit of all things spooky and peculiar, your final pieces often leave people asking, "what even is that?"
8. It isn't really fall until you go apple picking.
You not only go to the orchard to hand pick apples for your pies (see number one), but you go in full battle gear, hot chocolate included, prepared to fight for the sacred cider donuts and caramel apples that too often seem to have sold out just before you arrived at the orchard.
9. Warm scented candles are life.
Fall is the season of pumpkin spice, but as an autumn connoisseur, you know that the best scents have a vanilla or strong cinnamon based.
10. The most legendary Halloween costumes are carefully thought out and crafted.
And while you spend months preparing for this one night, you try to keep in mind that it's all fun and games..that is until somebody in a store bought witch costume wins the contest.
11. Fall is the ultimate "cuddle season."
Winter lovers think they have this one, with the cold weather and Christmas music. But, you know darn well that nothing offers warmth and comfort like a scary-movies-and-hot-chocolate-included cuddle session in mid October.
12. Fall > literally everything.
