With the summer gone and the school year in full swing, we all hunker down for colder days to come. But as the leaves change and we pull on our flannels, we should get excited for Autumn. Here are the five things we should all be excited for.
The weather
Being able to walk to class and not show up drenched in sweat is the best feeling ever. Not only walking to class, but just being outside feels great. You can also do your hair and not worrying about the humidity messing it up five minutes after you walk outside.
Football
Going to a game and tailgating or even having a football party at home with friends and family is hands down the best thing about fall. No matter if you actually pay attention to football or not, getting dressed up to root for your favorite team is a lot of fun.
Flannels and sweaters

Halloween and Thanksgiving
Halloween parties and stuffing your face with grandma’s home cooking. Enough said.
Fall activities
