Fall, which everyone should objectively agree is the best season, is the most superior part of the year. The weather, the view, and simply the essence of fall make it the best time of the year. The not too hot, not too cold, chilly but still comfortable weather, beautiful scenery, and iconic foods make fall a paradise every year.
The weather in fall simply trumps all other seasons, creating the most ideal environment imaginable. The air is crisp and cool, with a nice breeze and a bit of sun. There is a time for everyone to enjoy the outdoors during fall, whether you like a bit of chilliness or warmer weather. The average high temperature in Champaign falls around 70 degrees Fahrenheit, the ideal temperature for humans (Walker). Without annoying spring allergies but with the same ideal weather, the approximately 81 million people in the US with allergies usually peaking in spring can enjoy nature (AAFA). Sweater weather reigns supreme!!!
The atmosphere of fall is unique and comforting, and many small details build up to make it the best season. Red, orange, and yellow leaves add to fall’s beauty and make it the perfect time for hiking or simply appreciating a view that’s right outside everyone’s home. Fall also comes with other benefits, namely food. Autumn also means the most iconic season for Starbucks, and time to bring out the apple cider and apple donuts. The best time for getting free candy, Halloween, is another highlight of fall. Warming up with these foods from the slightly chilly weather while enjoying the colorful trees creates a perfect comfortable and subtle environment.
Not only does fall have many benefits, the rest of the seasons all have their drawbacks. The suffocating, musty summer heat, accompanied by mosquitos and other annoying bugs galore, make summer the worst season. Spring (especially this year) does not feel like it has sprung. Due to constant unstable weather, it doesn’t seem like a season of its own but rather nothing but a nasty transition phase too dull for summer but not quite winter anymore. Unlike fall's crispy and fresh air, spring rain makes the season musty. While winter has many holidays, the cold and windy days remain unpleasant and extreme. Fall on the other hand is an all-rounder with amazing weather, views, foods, and relaxing energy. It has a strong balance other seasons lack, and consistently stays enjoyable through all of its three months, making it the highlight of the year.

I 100% agree that fall is the Goldilocks season and am glad that you feel the same way. Spring allergies fight against the enjoyment of the weather that is raining 3/4 of the time anyway. The two extreme seasons are too much for too long. I love your descriptions used in the essay, it made me feel like I was in the fall environemnt again.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely and have always thought that fall was the best season, but could never articulate why. Instead of using just personal opinion, you presented real facts that make fall the most superior season, like the lack of allergies & the perfect temperatures. Great blog!
ReplyDeleteAs someone with a fall birthday, and an avid hater of all other seasons, this is one of my favorite blog posts that I've read. I love that you point out actual studies that support the idea that fall is the best season, and I especially appreciate the fact that you point out the drawbacks of all of the other seasons. This blog is simultaneously funny and making really good points, which makes it really fun to read. Great blog!!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, especially about spring this year. While in past years, spring has been my favorite season, after its lackluster performance this year, I have found fall to be my favorite. It was always a close second, but its benefits that you outline in the blog outweigh those of spring.
ReplyDeleteI am personally more of a fan of winter, but I still agree that fall is a great season. Being in the summer now, I already miss the chillier weather :( I also love how you used the ideal temperature of humans to explain why the weather in fall is good. Great blog!
ReplyDeleteI love this blog post because I completely agree! I think that the weather, vibe, food, and colors of fall are so much better than the other seasons. In addition, the other seasons have many drawbacks. Summer and winter both have points of extreme heat or cold, and spring is simply an allergy full transition month.
ReplyDeleteIt has something from every season, the heat of summer, the coldness of winter, and the stupid weather from spring. Looking at you snowy Halloween. The wind is bad. Its a mix of all other seasons, which doesn't make it better, it makes it bland. It can never match the fun of snow, the fun of water and sand, it can't match the life of spring and summer, can't match coziness of Winter. Fall isn't dynamic, it doesn't feel special. Its peaks are lower and its valleys are higher. Its just average. Its consistency is its strength and its weakness. There is no season as average as Fall is, sometimes that's a good thing but it isn't always.
