I am not a perpetual complainer, but I have to say that I am ready for summer to be over. Is it time for fall yet? I am ready for the hot hot heat to end, so that I can start enjoying the outdoors. I am that person-the one who stays inside all summer with the air conditioner blasting, and sporting the pale skin look. I don’t mind it, it’s just who I am. Now that we are in the month of August, I have to stop and get a little giddy about the fact that fall is just around the corner.
I ran across this Buzzfeed article mentioning the “24 Things about Fall That Will Put a Smile on Your Face”. I can’t say that I am a big fan of everything pumpkin flavored, but I on occasion will enjoy a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks.
If I were to redo the list on Buzzfeed, or at least add some items to the list, here are the things that I would include.
1.Wearing long sleeves and not sweating! I love wearing plaid shirts, layering cardigans over shirts, and rocking the “chic but grunge” look. Sadly, summertime does not allow me to wear what I want due to the extreme heat. The fall months of September, October, and November provide a cool climate that allows layering, but not to the point where you are required to wear a thick coat.

2.Back-to-school supplies. I haven’t been in school since (eek) 2008. Despite my lack of furthering my education, I still love running to Target and buying new pens, Sharpies, and notebooks. Being a Leasing Consultant, we always need pens…and back-to-school time feeds my addiction of buying office supplies. The day that I have a child starting school will end up being the day I go bankrupt.

3. College dorm décor. Again, I am not in college, nor do I live in a dorm, but I can’t shake the desire to buy bright colored lights and comforters for no apparent reason, other than I just need it. This is also a good time to get discounted sheets for a guest bedroom and cheap dinnerware for those times when you don’t need to be fancy at home. In my 2 bedroom apartment at Camden, we have already bought a new shower curtain, new clothes hangers and lights from the “college” section of Target.

4.Opening the windows. I love air conditioning, but I would rather be able to have my windows open and smell the fresh air. At night, I love to sit out on my balcony just to enjoy the cool air of fall.

5.My favorite holiday is Halloween, which happens to be in fall. I love dressing up in crazy wigs and costumes, and Halloween is the one night where no one with judge.
