Tis the season for pumpkin spice, cooler nights, warmer clothes, and fall leaves. But wait, none of this happens in Florida as it is essentially summer up to the holidays! Here are the real traits of fall that we know exist in other parts of the country that we truly miss right now!
1. Leafs changing
So this may not make sense unless you saw the movie Disney’s Brother Bear. Let me set the scene, two brothers who happen to be moose, are playing hide and seek. They go back and forth and all they say is “I spy something…. Green, Tree”. If this doesn’t explain Florida during the fall, I don’t know what does. Just green, EVERYWHERE!
2. Cute Fall Outfit
*Cries into every Pinterest board I have*
3. Apple and Pumpkin Picking
If I have to exert some sort of physical activity while reaching for these two things, I would prefer to not have massive sweat stains on my clothes while doing so, damn you heat. Damn you.
4. Apple Cider
I’ve never had it, but it’s associated with fall, so I’m putting it on the list.
5. Cold Temperatures
Look, I went to Syracuse in like October one year and it was thirty something degrees and it just felt right. Plus, I could wear my super cute coat around everywhere, so double the points for me.
6. Friday Night Football Games
Nothing screams fall like standing shoulder over shoulder with the people you walked across the stage with to keep warm watching your home team destroy your rival. I call the Florida alternative, “Haha, you all have to sweat together while I sit up in this press box and laugh in my air conditioning”.
Basically, I’m really salty that fall has started and I’m stuck here in the never ending summer heat of Florida, thanks for listening.
