Who doesn’t get excited for sweater weather and carving pumpkins? Here’s a list of why fall is the absolute best season there is:
1. Pumpkin Spice Lattes
The first morning that drops below 65, the line for Starbucks will be out the door. Everyone wants that glorious sip of their first PSL of the season.
2. Pumpkin Flavored Everything
It doesn’t stop at Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Pumpkin bagels, pumpkin scones, even pumpkin Oreos are sold from approximately September through December.
3. Carving Pumpkins
What’s fall without the tradition of carving pumpkins? Finding the perfect pumpkin at the pumpkin patch is almost better than actually carving them.
4. Thanksgiving
A holiday that revolves around giving thanks and eating a preposterous amount of food? Sign me up!
5. Fall Scented Candles
Pumpkin Pecan Waffles from Bath and Body Works? I’m in.
6. Fall fashion
Flannels. Sweaters. Combat boots. Warm socks. Scarves. Leggings. Beanies. Sweatshirts. Need I say more?
7. Football Season
Nothing’s better than seeing everyone in the greater Pittsburgh area rocking their Steelers gear every Sunday.
8. Fall Makeup
Plums, dark reds, golds…fall makeup is without a doubt the best.
9. Switching back to hot coffee
Waking up early for class on a chilly morning and slowly sipping hot coffee is the best.
10. Scary movies
Who doesn’t look forward to ABC Family’s 13 Nights of Halloween every October? Honestly, I’m just wondering if it is too early to watch Hocus Pocus right now.
11. Tacky fall décor
Seriously, if your entire dorm room, apartment, or house isn’t entirely decked out in pumpkins for the duration of the fall season, you’re doing it wrong.
12. Daylight Savings
I don’t think anyone would complain about gaining an hour of sleep.
13. Halloween and Thanksgiving TV episodes
Is there a more stressful episode of Pretty Little Liars than the Halloween special? And what about all the crazy things that happen every Thanksgiving on Gossip Girl?
14. No Shave November
Beards EVERYWHERE.
15. Fall foliage
No one can deny that autumn is absolutely stunning when the leaves start to change and fall.
16. Halloween
Hands down the absolute best part of fall. Who doesn’t like being scared senseless at haunted houses, getting free candy, and dressing up in the most creative costume you can think of?
Happy fall everyone!
