Fall is the third and best season of the year; temperatures slowly decline and the demand for pumpkin spice lattes quickly goes up.
1. Cozy sweater weather
It’s that time of year again, where being cozy is also fashionable! Nothing is better than rolling out of bed and throwing on a fluffy knit sweater with a pair of leggings.

2. Pumpkin EVERYTHING
When pumpkin flavored goodies start appearing, you know we have entered the fall season. Nothing gets the internet and college girls everywhere more excited than Starbucks bringing the PSL out of retirement. Name a better duo than a PSL and slice of pumpkin pie, I’ll wait. If pumpkin isn’t your thing, apple flavored goodies are back in season too!

3. Halloween
This is Halloween, this is Halloween! It is finally time for spooky corn mazes, haunted houses, and watching Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas for the thousandth time. ‘Tis the season to plan out your Halloween costume with your squad and enjoy all the fun Halloween activities!

4. Fall foliage
Reds, yellows, oranges and browns. The colors of fall are more than warm and inviting. New England is well known for the beautiful landscape the trees provide as they lose their chlorophyll. It also makes the perfect backdrop for Insta pics!

5. Clocks “fall” back
Daylight savings is both a blessing and a curse. Thankfully in the fall it’s the former. At 2 a.m. on November 5th we set our clocks to fall back an hour. Why? So college students can catch some extra zzz’s and rays of course!

6. Thanksgiving
Not only are you taking a break from school, you also get to take a break from the food in the dining halls. Finally, you are able to eat a hearty meal and catch up with all the family members you probably haven’t seen since you moved in. It’s great to reconnect with everyone and be back in your hometown. Plus, what is better than all the pie you can eat?
