Ellis Week 4 - My Love for Fall

 

 

    

    With all of the snow that has come down over the past few weeks, I am really missing Fall. Whenever I am asked what my favorite season is, I take a lot into consideration because both happy and sad things happen in each one. In the Winter, there is Christmas and New Years which are so much fun, but that is also when finals week usually is. My birthday is in the Spring, but that's when the school year tends to drag out the longest. The Summer is obviously amazing, but it has annoying bugs and the feeling that your wasting your life if you don't do something every single day. 

    That leaves Fall... I have absolutely nothing bad to say about that month. The weather is perfect, there is the excitement of starting a new school year, and of course, Halloween. That honestly might be my favorite holiday because it is sort of the kickoff to all of the other ones and there are so many things to do in the month leading up. You can go the pumpkin patches, do a corn maze, go to a haunted house, etc. It's just all so much fun because you know it is only the beginning of an amazing few months full of holiday movies and seeing family. However, this year's Halloween was not as fun as usual because I ended up bawling my eyes out from work... but I guess that isn't surprising since it was still 2020. 

   I am actually kind of upset with how all of Fall played out last year. Usually my friends and I will do a lot of campfires, and we only did that once. We didn't go to any of the football games. I only went to the pumpkin patch once, and usually I like to go a lot haha. It was just sad. Everything that happened in those last few months felt so much like a fever dream it's insane. I understand why a lot of things were cancelled, and I did get to see my friends a few times, but overall I feel like it was a waste of a season which makes me really upset. It also makes me 10 times more excited for next Fall... hoping everything will be normal by then!
