An Open Letter to Fall

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

            Don’t we all love that first day of autumn smell, fresh and so familiar! The beautiful trees that change from green to a vibrant hue of red, yellow, and orange. We cannot forget the scarves and sweaters that feel so cozy and warm when we wear them. All of wonderful things that are included in fall make the season that much better and stimulating. Fall really is an exciting and magnificent time of year that makes us fall for the lively colors, chilly weather, and warm clothes.    

 The fall is so wonderful with beautiful and changing trees that are hard to take your eyes off of, the rich colors of red, yellow, and orange make us feel warm and comfortable. In some places such as Oklahoma, you don’t get to see the incredible change of colors, but further north it is miles long and the most breathtaking scenery of the fall season. It is unimaginable to think of a fall without colors, but thankfully all of the other wonderful factors of fall make up for it in Oklahoma.

 Oh the wonderful weather of 60s and 70s. As most people know, Oklahoma heat is dreadful in the summer months. Going from the 90-degree weather to the beautiful windy 70s is such a wonderful transition. Another reason why fall weather is so wonderful is, because it’s not winter! Lastly, it is a nice break between the blazing hot and winter weather. It almost prepares us for what is about to come. In the fall, people love to dress in warm clothes like scarves and sweaters. It is so awesome to put away the shorts and crop tops, and pull out the big sweaters and tall boots. The best part about wearing sweaters, boots, and scarves is that you feel cute while still staying warm. Sometimes it is nice to be all covered up and cozy in warm clothing.

 I love fall for the fall colors, weather, and clothes.  Although living in Oklahoma, we don’t see as much color, we get to feel the fantastic fall weather of 60s and 70s. Along with the awesome weather is the change of outfits. It is so fun to mix and match with pretty scarves and fun sweaters. All of the amazing features of fall contribute to the awesome experiences we get to encounter.
