It’s Coming

It’s getting close to that time! The time of cooler air, crunchy leaves, and spoopy decorations. That’s right! It’s almost time for fall! Fall is my favorite time of the year, and October is my favorite month of the year. I wish all year could be fall honestly. It would be the perfect temperature, it’d be gorgeous year-round, and it’s just my aesthetic. I’m not a pumpkin spice girl, but the smell is nice at times. Until it becomes overbearing, then it just makes me nauseous. I’ll be looking for new wallpapers for my phone later so I can get better into the spirit of the season!

Football is already in full swing, so TV’s are constantly tuned to ESPN or FOX or wherever the games are aired. Honestly, I’m looking forward to watching a game or two when I go back home. Maybe I can try to score tickets to an Ole Miss or State game… I love going to football games simply because of the energy of the students and/or fans. It’s so cool and it helps get me pumped for the game too.  I find it funny to hear people say they don’t enjoy watching football, but everyone is entitled to their opinions. So I’ll just say that I love watching football and a lot of other sports too. Which is a bit ironic because I’d either never participate in most sports, but I find them interesting. 

Christmas is nice, Thanksgiving is too. So is Easter and all the other holidays, even the obscure ones. BUT… Halloween is the queen of all holidays, and I don’t care about what others think. Halloween is the best holiday to me. I don’t care about the whole candy thing, but dressing up and hearing/seeing all the creepy events go on is what draws me to Halloween. I love seeing the little kids running around in their costumes and seeing how excited they are to show them off and to get their well earned treat. Last year, I passed out candy with my best friend, and that was a pretty funny night. She accidently made a toddler cry, thanks to her Lemongrab mask. The poor child didn’t even want to come up to the door to get the candy. Several kids were creeped out by that mask, and it was funny to see their reactions. It sucks that I won’t be home for Halloween. The past two years, I would go home with her and we’d pass out candy together or go trick-or-treating. I guess we won’t be doing that this year, but I’ll try to make it up to her later on. 

I don’t think you understand how much I love fall. Just about all of my best memories were created in the fall, and I plan on making many more memories from now on.

The girl from D'Iberville is a really dull girl. She locks herself up in her room, content to spend her time reading and occasionally writing. She loves to read little YA romances and sometimes finds herself with books about history. The main thing motivating her writing is her overactive imagination and the strange dreams that plague her sleep. Her works also stem from what she has heard from music, conversations, or when half asleep. Crazed killers, haunted mirrors, and murderous siblings seem to be part of her stories in some way, but they always start off in her dreams. She started writing when she was in middle school, but had been telling stories since she was little. View all posts by Morgan Crosby
