The leaves are beginning to fall, the clocks have gone back an hour, and Starbucks has finally brought red holiday cups back. Start breaking out the boots, long jackets, scarves and gloves, because before you know it, you will be walking in a winter wonderland. Get your cameras and Instagram filters ready for the first snowfall picture ladies! Winter is just around the corner, and here are 13 signs you are so beyond ready for it.

1) You have already bought a new pair of winter boots, and you have been staring at them in your closet ever since. 

2) You have been drinking hot chocolate since classes started.

3) You have been buying thick, chunky sweaters since September. Your wardrobe is now filled with them, and you just cannot wait to wear them.

4) You anxiously wait to cuddled up by the fire, watching your favorite holiday movies… “Netflix and chill,” anyone?
5) You cannot wait to indulge on your favorite seasonal lattes from Starbucks in a red holiday cups. Of course, all your Insta followers will know when you have your first peppermint mocha. 

6) You have been listening to holiday music since the day after Halloween.

7) Your Pinterest boards are filled with winter soups and holiday cookie recipes. 

8) You feel as if you can never have too many scarves: infinity, shawl, lightweight, and pashminas–the more the merrier.

9) “Do you want to build a snowman?” has been playing on repeat.

10) You have bought every seasonal candle from pine tree to gingerbread for your room.

11) You are more than excited for snow days when you have a valid excuse to spend the whole day in bed in your pajamas. 

12) You have always imagined living in your very own ice castle.

13) The cold never bothered you anyway.
