Falling In Love With Fall




On Saturday we'll celebrate the first official day of Fall, but that doesn't mean some of the leaves have already changed color.  They're so beautiful, each displaying what seems to be a different shade of red, yellow. or green.  The grass gets a little browner and slowly starts to die out for the winter season, and you can see pumpkins and haybales almost everywhere you turn your head.  The air gets a little crisper as we finally lose the dead heat of July and August, and you start becoming a little more public with your warm beverage consumption.

It all sounds so beautiful to me, and I hope that's the picture I'm painting for you, as Fall is one of my favorite seasons.  It's when you can drive down the road and truly enjoy the changing of the seasons, and even maybe spot (or hunt) some deer.  It's a pretty cool time in more ways than one.



I'm not quite sure where my love for the Fall season started, but it was probably when I was a little kid and starting school out for a new year and getting ready to enjoy the freshness of the air and the Halloween season.  It's sort of like when the first snow flies in November or December, you just feel like it's such a magical time outside and you feel like a young toddler again.  You want to see feel and touch everything all over again regardless of how many times you've already done it in your short existence here on Earth.

One thing I don't like about the Fall season though, is pumpkin spice.  I'm in the camp of people that think pumpkin spice ruins everything and it should be abolished forever.  I mean, I get that people enjoy spicing things up the pumpkin way, but why do they have to be so public about it?  There's multiple pictures on social media about pumpkin spice and it's kind of annoying.  Or maybe that's just me.

Someday when I'm married with children, I hope to introduce them to the joys of Fall.  Football games and jumping through freshly raked piles of leaves, or maybe taking a trip to the local pumpkin patch or haunted house.  There are so many things to enjoy during this season that I would hate for them to miss out on it.



And I hope that's what you'll do.  Grab a sweatshirt and a football, and get on out and enjoy the marvels of what will forever be my favorite season.

What are your favorite parts about Fall?  What do you like to do during the Fall season?  Sound off in the comments!

Here's what you do in your college public speaking class.  These videos are me when I gave the speeches.  We were asked to pick a community issue, from which I chose the EBT Program and how it needs reform, and then I later collaborated with Andrew Olfelt to give a speech on education reform here in America.  I hope you enjoy the speeches :) Speech of Introduction - Given 9/9/2016 Informative Speech - Given 10/7/2016 Team Persuasive Speech - Given 11/18/2016

A Post About Snow

Image
Snow is something many of us seem to be bi-polar about, myself included.  We love it when the first snowfall of the year graces it's way through our area, but by March we're sick of it and ready for Spring.  It coats the roads, causes car accidents, and sends people to supermarkets in droves, because everyone's worried that this will be the last time they ever make it out of their house for the next few days, which never really seems to be the case thankfully. Regardless of that though, lots of us love a good snow.  Think of the things we have to be thankful for when the snow flies.  We are now able to go (if there's enough snow), sledding, skiing, have snowball fights, and build snowmen. There are tons of things to do when that first winter storm hits, and we should enjoy it while we can.  I've been regretting not being able to take part in Winter activities these past few years due to my numerous prior commitments, but maybe this will be the year

TikTok: Why.... Just Why?

Image
It's a day off and I'm sitting at home scrolling through the Snapchat stories of my friends and co-workers.  I'm just leaving one person's story and moving onto the next, but first I have to watch an advertisement, because Snapchat needs to make money somehow doesn't it? I look at the screen, and for some reason a teenaged dude is just chilling there in a white suit and clown makeup lip syncing to some song I've never heard of before.  The screen is split though, so you know someone else must be coming to join him, right?  Well low and behold not even five seconds later another teenager in a black suit with his hair groomed to resemble a sheep and blue/black skin steps in and starts lip syncing to another part of the song where a different person seems to sing.  The ad cuts out not long after that, and I'm back with my Snapchat stories. If you haven't guessed already, the ad is for smartphone app TikTok , which allows it's users to video rec
