Good bye summer, hello fall. I don’t think I am the only one who is very happy that summer is officially over. For four whole months this year, the state of Colorado has been stuck in the unbearable heat. And it is finally gone.
Now there are some positives to the season of summer. For students, we get several months of no school. There’s also pool time, beach time, and general fun outdoors which everybody loves. However there are also many more negative characteristics. In Colorado we hit a new record heat late into September at 98 degrees. That is way to hot for late into the school year. I also have issues with summer fashion. In the unbearable Summer heat the only clothes you can wear are shorts and a t-shirt. And lets face it, that fashion gets boring very quickly.
However the season of fall is much better. First of all, the weather is so much better. The heat cools down, but most of the times it’s still sunny so you’re not shivering everytime you step outside. Let’s also think about the clothes. We have officially entered the sweater weather time of the year, which are the nicest clothes. They’re cozy but they’re also really cute and comfortable.
Entering the fall season also brings really good food. I know I am a major fan of apple cider which is finally starting to fill the shelves at grocery stores. And because I am a huge fan of sugary things I’m going to stick with those foods. Fall brings caramel apples and pumpkin spice everything.
My final point on the lovely season of fall, is the greatest holiday of the year, Halloween. The spooky season is finally here. We get candy, and costumes and just a lot of friendly fun. It’s time to get away from the boring summer season and welcome the fantastic season of fall.
