Pumpkin patches are the prime place to take an adorable autumn themed picture with your friends, they litter your Facebook wall, and they make you wonder why you haven’t taken one yet. Pumpkins are not just for carving, but also for taking adorable pictures with!

2. Secretly loving pumpkin spice lattes

This poor beautiful drink gets a pretty bad rap, but, they are delicious and make everything feel like fall. So go get your pumpkin spice loving butt a latte, and don’t let anyone tell you not to!

The average person in fall carves a pumpkin, but some of us are a little more ambitious, there are tons of ways to show your fall spirit! Go out, get Mason jar, googly eyes, cheese cloths, and glue and make some crafts.

4. The colors of the leaves

The world is so magical when the leaves begin to change colors, gone are the warm days of summer and in are the bright reds and deep browns of the falling leaves. And it’s fun to step on the extra crunchy leaves.

5. Watching scary movies

If scary movies are your jam, this is your time of year. Not only is it darker outside earlier in the day, but it’s the perfect time to get a ton of friends to watch with you.

6. Snuggling up by a fire

If you have a fireplace you’ll probably be lighting a fire in there soon, when the weather turns warming yourself by a crackling fire, and maybe curling up with a book, is a great way to spend the evening.

7. Cinnamon anything (Yumm!)

8. Halloween!

This one is a little obvious, but it can’t go without saying, Halloween is the best part of fall! Dressing up, getting candy, and sharing time with your friends or family. Have a Happy Halloween everyone!
