Miscellaneous #5 Fall is Here



                The lovely time of year is here! The leaves are changing colors and a weather change proving it is fall. I love all the things that come with fall such as putting out pumpkins and carving them. The other good part about fall are the scented candles smelling like pumpkin pie or pumpkin spice. The other benefit to fall is the weather; the terrible heat is over all well as the dang humidity. I can finally get my boots out, my favorite pair of shoes to wear. My hair will now stay down and not get frizzy because of the humidity. I guess I could say this is my favorite season, I just love how the smells and colors of this season. I feel as everything just feels so much more inviting, and the weather is comfortable. If I get to cold I can always wear a jacket rather than always being hot in summer. While there can be many positives to fall the one negative is this is the time of year when people begin to get sick.
 I am not going to lie I love fall, but the only problem with this season is I always get sick. When I say sick I do not me the flu, but the dreaded cold. I absolutely hate the feeling of having a sore throat tied in with a cough and stuffy or runny nose. This is what I am experiencing currently, I thought my immune system would get me through it, but of course not I still got the cold. I can tell by being on campus and at home I am not the only one. I hear people constantly blowing their noses, or coughing. I feel bad for them, but at the same time I think about all the germs going around. So I keep the hand sanitizer on hand as well as the vitamin C and the other necessities just to get through this time of season for sickness.  Although I the sickness is going around I will not let it ruin my favorite season, but rather enjoy the positives.

  1. Fall is an okay season, it has it's ups and downs. The pros of autumn are like you stated how it is not hot like it is in the dead heat of summer. There is no more humidity to deal with. Also, fall is one step closer to winter, which is my favorite season. In autumn, there doesn't seem to be as much rain in winter and I absolutely hate rain. The cons of fall would have to be the wind. Oh the wind, probably the worst element of mother nature that I hate. I can deal with the snow and the rain but the wind just sucks. I think that wind makes everything colder than it has to be. I love winter because I am a snow person. I can walk outside with shorts and a t-shirt all winter long. Autumn on there other hand, sucks because I get sick a lot. I protest every year against the flu shot and always wish I wouldn't have when fall comes around. I also dislike fall because of daylight savings time; you lose an hour. I hate losing an hour of daylight because that means there is less things that can be done in the day. All in all, lets just say that I am looking forward to winter already!

  2. I really love the fall too! I just posted a blog post about the fall as well, ha! I love everything about this season from the leaves falling to the fall trends that come out. I'm not usually a person that likes the cold, but for some reason I really like the mood and the atmosphere that Fall brings. I love coming home to a warm house smelling like baked food and sitting at home with some hot chocolate by the fireplace. I think this season brings a lot of people together that usually arent during the other times of the year. I can see why you wouldnt really like the fall because of being sick. I dont like being sick in the fall either because it's already really cold out then feeling not the greatest doesn't help. It's cool to see that someone else likes fall just about as much as I do.

  3. I as well really like this time of year. My reasons may be a little different, I do however enjoy watching all of the trees change colors, if you get the chance to go to southern Ohio you should it is very beautiful down there this time of year and all kinds of festivities to do. The big reason I enjoy this time of year is that football season is finally here. Football is the only sport I watch so I love when Fall comes around. I can finally watch the Buckeyes and the Browns which usually lose but I still like them lol. The whole getting sick part really stinks I thought I was coming down with a head cold over the weekend but I took some medicine and I am feeling a lot better. I have really bad allergies so this time of year is not that good for them with all of the farmers picking there beans and corn stirring up a lot of dust. But this is still also my favorite season of the year.
