10 Reasons to Celebrate the Return of Fall

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wash U chapter.

Nothing is as sad as packing up your sundresses and jean shorts and realizing that darty season is coming to an end. But, don’t be too sad, FALL IS HERE! So instead of shedding a tear, smile knowing that you can go to the gym half as much. Here are 10 more reasons why fall is the best season ever.

1.  You Can Pull Out Your Boots and Scarves

 

I know everyone loves their Urban sundresses. But now you can stop getting pedicures and wear boots of all sizes and scarves to match!

 

2.  Hot Starbucks/Pumpkin Spice

There’s nothing like the time of year when the new Starbucks cups come out.

3.  Halloween

Whether you’re excited for the candy or the parties, Halloween is a good time for all ages. Break out those cat ears for the one day a year that you are able to wear whatever you want and not be judged.

4. Football

The season where it’s socially acceptable to drink on Sundays!

5. Dark Nail Polish

Lincoln Park After Dark is officially the go to.

6.  Pretty Trees

Get a cool new profile picture in front of leaves and trees!

7.  You Can Wear Your Onesie

Cuddle up with your roommates and get those matching onesies on!

 

8. Great Excuse to Have An Extra Drink…

…of coffee… or something else.

9. Ramen/Soups

Save money, get warm, and get a solid amount of carbs before your night out.

10. Your favorite TV Shows Are Back On Air

Although The Bachelor season is over, Scandal, Vampire Diaries, Homeland, Survivor are all back! So get that pumpkin spice in hand, curl up with your roomies and watch one of your favorites!
