“I’m gonna sound so basic. Umm… My favorite thing to do in the fall is to really go out and do all the fall festivities with my nieces and nephews. So like, to go do pumpkins, and I like to do Lake Compounce and the scary haunted houses. And I like to drink lots of Starbucks pumpkin spice lattes.”

“I like to walk my dog with a jacket on.”

When I asked this question, I got a lot of similar answers, as you can see above, but I also got people who just hated on Fall. It’s cold and school is starting, those people complained. But how the people you hear above see it, Fall also means seeing friends again, and playing sports, and getting to wear warm clothes and drink warm drinks. So maybe whether or not you like Fall is just a mindset. I think we’d all like Fall a bit better though if the heat was turned on.
