Fall is officially here, and life just got 100x better (and it's not just because pumpkin spice lattes are back). Here are 16 reasons why fall is the best time of year: 

No more sweating

Mosquitoes and wasps retreat back to hell

BYE, EVIL BEINGS.

You no longer have to worry about maintaining your beach bod

Oh, how I’ve missed you, ice cream and everything else non-dietetic.

Fashion

Flannels, oversized sweaters, hoodies, scarves, boots...

It’s acceptable to wear dark colors again

I mean, I wear black every day of the year anyway, but it’s more acceptable when it’s cooler out. Why? I don’t know.

Football and hockey season is back

The game, wings, beers. Life is good.

New TV shows

New seasons = binge-watching your favorite TV shows!

Roasted corn at local farm stands

Apple and pumpkin picking

 Speaking of pumpkins… 

Pumpkin beer

With a cinnamon sugar rim? Flawless.

Pumpkin everything

No, seriously EVERYTHING. PSLs, muffins, pie, ice cream, coffee creamer...

Leaves change color

Not many sights are quite as beautiful as trees covered in multi-colored leaves.

Halloween

COSTUMES.

Thanksgiving

FOOD.

Bonfires

Perfect cuddling weather

Technically you never need a reason to cuddle, but cooler weather just somehow has a way of making it that much better. Did I miss your favorite part of fall? Let me know in the comments below!
