10 Weird Reasons Why I Love Autumn

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCD chapter.

There are many reasons why I love fall, most of them being extremely basic (pumpkin spice whatever and Thanksgiving, am I right?), BUT as I am a woman of many colors, I also love fall for all of the oddly great things that it brings, too. I mean, autumn is just a weird in-between season anyway, so of course it brings weird joy with it, too! To find out the ten main weird reasons why I love autumn, read on.

1. I love biking/walking/running/jumping on crunchy leaves.

2. Scarves, scarves, scarves! Did I mention scarves and how they make everything better?

3. It’s weirdly nice to hide away from the cold under 8 blankets.

4. It’s nice not having to go everywhere dripping in sweat.

5. Autumn is a great time for PG&E bills. It’s never too hot or too cold to warrant having the AC or heater on.

6. Boots! I love being able to wear boots (or anything but flip flops, which I wear for all of summer); they make every outfit so spiffy.

7. It’s the perfect time to drink hot chocolate all the time without people wondering about my health.

8. I can snuggle up with my roommate all the time.

9. I love when it gets dark extremely early and then you feel justified for not getting anything done because it’s basically bed time by 5 pm.

10. Pumpkin flavored cream cheese (I recommend the shmear from Noah’s or the pumpkin cream cheese from Trader Joe’s).
