Fall

I like summer, a lot. I mean, there's no school, no worries, no obligations. You can wander around in bare feet and forget to eat lunch and stay up til whenever and sleep til whenever and you don't even have to know what time it is. We like summer. Summer is good, and we don't want it to end. But it's going to, just like it does every year, and fall will come, and with it, school. And while I don't want summer to end, I gotta admit that, like every year, I'm excited for school. But more than being excited for actual school, I'm excited for the season of fall. Because fall is my favorite season, for the following reasons:

• bonfires. i know you can have bonfires in the summer, but there really is nothing like a fall bonfire, where you actually have to keep close to the fire to stay warm, and there aren't as many mosquitoes making you wish you were dead rather than being eaten alive.
• new clothes! i'm a loser. i know. but who doesn't get excited for their back-to-school shopping, and even more than that, when school starts so you can actually wear your purchases?
• sweaters. this is kinda like the new clothes one, but i decided that sweaters deserve their own bullet point because sweaters are so comfortable and fun to wear, especially in the fall. i enjoy sweaters. greatly.
• football games. although this year the majority of my football game experiences will be from a marching band point of view, they're still fun and part of fall and basically awesome.
• homecoming. parade+game+dance=fun fun fun. especially the dance, cuz you can dress up and go out and dance. and maybe enjoy the company of a date. perhaps.
• halloween. whether you're still trick-or-treating, or going to parties, or both, it's still fun to dress up and eat candy and other foods. and also watch scary movies and be scared.
• leaf piles! yay! raking is not so fun, but definitely worth it, cuz when you're done you have a giant pile of leaves for to jump into. plus, all the different colored trees are pretty.
• nice weather. the thing about fall is that it's sunny and warm, but not unbearably hot and humid like summer. i love it so much.
• apple orchards. i haven't gone to an apple orchard for the past couple of years, but we should DEFS go to one this year because hay rides and apples= fun. except wait until after i get my braces off so that i can eat them. which reminds me...
• TEETH. as in, braceless teeth. because on a date (that i am trying to change) in september i will have my braces thoroughly removed from my teeth, and from then on braces will be for Other People again, just like they always have been.

okay. if this isn't enough to convince you that fall is a fun season, then sorry. but it is. you will see when we get there. which is in...seventeen days. well, seventeen days til september. i dont really know what day school starts. i might want to look that one up.
