I love autumn. It's by far my favorite season of the four. Maybe it's the back to school rhythm that or changing from fun on the beach to the sound of an alarm clock. Sure the days are getting shorter and shorter and by 7:45 the cars turn on their headlights, but this doesn't have to be a bad transition! Change is good.
I love the summer too and trust me, I'll miss rooftop parties (I mean backyard BBQ's) just as much as the next person. But to be honest, and I know I'm really going out on a limb here, I prefer whistling winds to sizzling hot dogs any day. What's more, I, unlike the vast number of NYer's out there, am quite fond of the rain. What's up with people being depressed when it's raining outside and acting as though there's nothing to do and the day is wasted? Heck, even the news achors on prime time tv discuss their annoyance with the meteorologist's report on drizzle! When did we start hating the rain?
Autumn to me sparks a fresh start for students and non-students alike. The change in weather is the first inkling. Finally, relief from the sauna-like subways and a light jacket to cover up those who dare to show it all! Outdoor activities don't have to end when autumn arrives. There are all types of fruit to pick, markets to visit and cheap tickets to events you couldn't afford during the summer peak months of tourism.
So go out and there and enjoy the leaves crunching below your feet and the smell of a cool morning chill!
