ITS FALL Y'ALL


So fall has officially fell and it is glorious. A little early to be this chilly at night if you ask me, but it still does not offset the fact that I LOVE the fall.

Growing up in Louisiana I never really felt like I got to experience fall. We had it, but it did not come gradually like it does up here in Fayetteville. It was like “okay today the leaves changed colors.” And then the next day they would be gone, and the next day it was winter. Here fall lasts for more than three days and I can just soak it all in. All of its fally goodness.

I love the crisp bright colors of fall while everything is changing. Crunchy leaves make a wonderful symphony of sounds as I walk to class. The smell of bonfires and spice wafting through the air. The best. Fayetteville in the fall is like none other. I’m not going to lie, getting to experience a “real” fall was something that drew me to the university. Winter is another blog post for another day…

Today I got to go to a lovely Fall themed sisterhood with the wonderful women of AOII. We went to McGarrah Pumpkin Patch and had a GREAT time. There were bonfires, a haunted hayride, a haunted corn maze, pumpkins galore. It really was great to get to have silly fun and laugh with my sisters. These girls truly have become a second family to me and it is the best feeling to be able to just forget about school and worries of life and just have fun together. I can’t wait until our next sisterhood!
 

With that, I am going to cozy up in my sweater and blanket, light my vanilla spice candle (they’re a dollar at Walmart and they smell FANTASTIC) and get to work on homework.



Happy fall yall!
