Red, Yellow, Orange…

Fall has never been one of my favorite seasons. After all, there is nothing particularly special about it. Anything you do in fall could be done in other seasons, although this may be seen as a good thing rather than bad. Nevertheless, there are many things to look forward to this fall.

Fall ties in with the beginning of school, an important part of everyone’s lives. There are new friends, longer lunches, and homecoming events to look forward to. It is a season of cool breezes and gently falling leaves. I can finally put some good use to my long sleeved shirts that have stayed in my closet collecting dust for 3 months.

I can also anticipate the many holidays that occur during fall–Thanksgiving break, for instance. My family always finds time to go somewhere special during the five day holiday. One year its the mountains, the next its the beach. Halloween is also one day that I especially enjoy. It is the one night in the entire year where you can walk around at night and get tons of free candy. I still have some leftover candy from last Halloween! Besides, in any neighborhood, there is always at least one house that gives out giant candy bars or big goody bags full of sweets.
