It's finally here. I can't wait to tell you why I love it.

Fall officially begins on September 22nd and I literally could not be more excited.  While Summer means three months of vacation, tan lines, and lake days, there's just something special about Fall.  Fall is definitely trending and I'm all about it, as basic as it is.

Here's 10 reasons why I, along with almost everyone else, is 'Falling' for Fall:

1. HEY THERE DECENT WEATHER!

Living in South Dakota, Summers can be beautiful.  However, they can also be ungodly hot and humid.  When Fall finally rolls around, I no longer have to worry about going to class at 9am in a sweatshirt shivering, and then leaving class at 2pm sweating like I've been sitting in a sauna for six hours.


2. Bring on the Pumpkin Spice Everything 

If you haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet and sipped on a scrumptious PSL (or as the out of trend people know it as, Pumpkin Spice Latte), you're for sure in the minority.  Once September/October hits, it's almost impossible to not run into at least one thing Pumpkin Spice Flavored.  This Fall treat has taken over our lattes, candles, cookies and yes, even our beers.

3. Updated TV Content

Most of us, at this point, have hunkered down into our homes and are buried in our couches.  Thankfully, TV producers understand this.  Gone are the Summer nights of trash, boring, rerun TV.  Almost all of your favorite cable TV shows start releasing new content as soon as Fall hits.


4.  Dark @ 5pm

Some people may see this as a downside to Fall, however, I definitely do not.  Being able to crawl in bed by 8pm and not feel guilty is one of the greatest gifts known to man.


5. Fall Back

Bouncing off the last point, Day-Light savings time gives us another wondering gift, Fall Back.  It's basically a chance for you to get an extra hour of sleep just, well, because.  WAHOO!


6. The Clothes!!!

Self-conscious about your arms? Legs not toned? Hide it with Fall!! With the cooler weather, it's a necessity to wear long sleeves, pants, sweaters, boots, vests, hats, scarves, mittens, face masks...Whatever you need to do to feel warm and well...hidden ;)


7. Instagram Aesthetic

Orange and yellow and red oh my! These beautiful colors produced by nature instantly boost the aesthetic and the number of likes you'll receive.  Gone are the days of over editing posts, let nature do the work for you.


8. Fall Activities

The number of activities the become available once the leaves hit the ground is numerous.  Apple Orchards, Corn Mazes, Haunted Houses, Bonfires, and so so many more.  Fall is truly a time to enjoy the outdoors without sweating through every ounce of clothing you own.


9. BYE BYE BUGS

Oh the delighted first freeze of Fall.  When you walk out your front door and feel the crisp morning air against your nose.  And yeah, realize ALL THE BUGS ARE DEAD! It's a beautiful day when you can put your electric fly swatter to rest and put away the anti-itch cream for a least a few months.


10. Christmas, Christmas time is near

Time for toys and time for cheer! We've been good but we can't last. Hurry Christmas, hurry fast!

Not to wish away this beautiful season, but when Falls hits, you know that the best holiday of the year is always on everyones mind.




Well, there you have.  My 10 reasons why Fall is my favorite.  Any reasons you have that I missed? Leave me a note in the comments section.  Happy Fall Y'all :)
