Between pumpkin spice and unpredictable weather, I think we can agree fall is awful.

It sits on the cusp of summer and winter. It lends itself to a romantic idea of cuddling, warm drinks, marshmallows, and pilgrimages upstate. For all of nature’s technicolor beauty, do we really need to hear another mispronunciation of ‘foliage’?

Let’s be real, fall sucks. You wake up cold, sweat the rest of the day and go to sleep freezing. Those pumpkins you wasted carving for Halloween? You could have eaten them. Keep telling yourself those snow boots are warranted, let alone comfortable. And please, look after one another this Black Friday.

Sorry to all the baristas at Starbucks, it will all be over soon. Credit: Various via Storyful
