20 Reasons Why October is the Best Month of the Year

When the month of October rolls around, people usually think Halloween, costumes and candy. While that is an everyday thought for all collegiettes (okay, minus Halloween and the costumes…), we also know that the month of October signifies so much more. With every Starbucks announcement and new costume arrival that warms our pumpkin-shaped hearts, we are giving the top reasons why October is the month that keeps on giving.

1. It’s the one of the last months before winter.

Snowbanks, snowmen and snowcones, oh my!

2. It’s the time for carving pumpkins…

3. …and lighting them beautifully!

4. It’s time for old Halloween-themed Disney Channel Movies!

Hint, hint: Halloweentown?

5. Speaking of pumpkins…the new and improved PSL is here!

6. It’s the beginning month of the holiday season!

One holiday a month…this is the life.

7. CANDY!!!

Snickers, Tootsie Rolls and candy corn!!

8. Buying and preparing for costumes as an adult with no shame.

9. The season for the jeans and Uggs pairing has officially arrived.

10. In college, we’ve made it one month into the semester!

11. At the end of the month, we will be halfway done!

12. Seeing Christmas trees and decorations in all the department stores.

13. Harry Potter movie marathons become automatically stored in your brain’s Room of Requirement.

14. You now have another reason to have orange and black nails!

15. Scary props are just a normal thing.

16. It’s busy with National Domestic Violence Awareness Month…

17. Breast Cancer Awareness Month

18. Bullying Prevention Month

19. …and CyberSecurity Awareness Month

20. But, it’s also HALLOWEEN!!!

We can celebrate all month long, even if it’s actually only one day.
