It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, not Christmas… fall. The ‘ber months (September, October, November, December) have everything there is to love about life and are without a doubt top tier. So grab your PSL, curl up by the fire, and start playing “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” as I convince you why fall is the best season. 

Reason #1: Weather

The crisp autumn air; orange, red, and brown leaves falling from the sky; the temperature a solid 50 degrees– what more can you possibly ask for? Now I know some people aren’t huge fans of cooler weather; however, this is when you can thank Georgia’s scorching heat that allows the temperature to never fall below 40 degrees during these months. The combination of brisk air and warmth is the perfect balance between winter and summer. 

Reason #2: Fall Fashion 

You can’t tell me I’m wrong when I say fall is the season with the best style. No outfit is cozier than a cardigan paired with black leggings and Uggs. I know there is the argument that summer clothing has a better “look” on some people than others, but no one can really look “bad” when they are wearing a chunky sweater or flannel with jeans. Overall, fall clothing just adds more to the autumn aesthetic. 

Reason #3: Seasonal Food & Drinks

The time has come… it’s PSL season. Whether you’re a coffee lover or not, fall has a variety of tasty seasonal treats to choose from. From the classic Pumpkin Spice Latte to pumpkin muffins, there is something about the pumpkin flavor that signals to your brain the start of fall. While I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin, I can never resist my tongue burning with the taste of a latte or the coolness of pumpkin pie topped with whipped cream. Plus, you always have apple or cinnamon as a delicious alternative when you’re not in the mood for pumpkin. 

Reason #4: Football

Even if you don’t like sports, football is one game that can still be enjoyable whether you know what is going on or not. Of course it helps to understand what is happening when everyone around you is cheering, but for the non-footballers out there, you can still have fun in many other ways. You have tailgates, parties, food, and games; all of it adds up to the perfect equation for the ultimate fall experience. 

Reason #5: Holidays

Last, but not least, fall is the one season that features some of the best holidays. Spooky season, Turkey Day, and the entire period leading up to Christmas all are the few times I feel that true joy is spread. Families and friends come together to create lifelong memories. It’s as if there truly is magic circulating the air that makes the autumn season even cozier. 

Now I hope everyone is on my side and we can all agree that fall is by far the best season. No other season can compare to the delights of fall weather, fashion, and food and drinks.
