Descriptive Autumn
Autumn
There are some people who enjoy summer by basking in the warmth of the sun, going on family vacations, swimming in cool lakes, and having barbeques with friends. Others prefer seeing flora blooming and fauna reemerge during the spring. Then there are a few people that look forward to the winter snow, decorating for holidays, and snuggling by an open fire sipping on hot cocoa. I, however, prefer autumn.
Ever since I could attend school, I looked forward to when I finally got new school supplies. I enjoy matching my notebooks, pens, and highlighters to each of my classes. When grading homework in class I like using hot pink in English, ocean blue in algebra, and algae green in civilization. Each year I am excited when I get a new planner. When I have an important event, I highlight each one with a different color. Neon pink, fluorescent orange, lime green, and sky blue are splattered throughout each month like drops of paint from a brush. This school year I was eager to purchase a new laptop. I am a proud owner of an Alienware M17x laptop. The matte black anodized aluminum case feels like ice in my hands and the keyboard is backlit in crimson. On the cover is Alienware’s signature alien head logo that glows spearmint green when it is plugged in and bright red when the laptop is running off battery power.
Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. I loved looking at the other children’s costumes and makeup. I enjoy seeing doctors in white coats, witches with pointed hats, and superheroes running up and down the streets. Sometimes I would end up crossing paths with my school friends and we’d compare how heavy our bags were, which houses gave full sized candy bars, and which houses gave out apples instead. I remember the anticipation after trick-or-treating as a child because my parents wouldn’t let me see what candy I received until we were back home. The parents of my best friend at the time would decorate their home as a haunted house each year. Each

    Modern Halloween has become less literal about ghosts and ghouls and more about costumes and candy. The holiday is overflowing with action on its reserved night. Kids are so anxious to drag their parents out the door, show off their creative costumes, and ring their first doorbell for a fun-filled night of trick-or-treating as soon as the dismissal bell for school rings. High school students wait until the whole group of friends is together before they head out into the misty darkness with only the flickering street light to guide them. Meanwhile, adults are sipping on their witches brew at a local party or nightclub.…

    I love fall. I can imagine the sounds of leaves crunching underneath my boots, the smells of food being taken out on Thanksgiving, the tastes of a nice cup of apple cider, the sights of spooky decorations and bright pumpkins on houses, and the feeling of crisp autumn air blowing across my face. I love to watch the leaves turn red, orange, and yellow and flutter down to the fresh green grass, like warm colors of paint covering a bright green canvas. I always look forward to fall weather, and I also always look forward to the beautiful fall scenery. Because of the nice fall weather, I get to take more walks in my neighborhood and I also get to say hi to my neighbors. Even if my birthday is in the spring, I still love fall the most. Thinking…

    What is halloween? What is the history behind it? Why do kids trick or treat? Halloween is a day where everyone is dressed up as what they want to be. It's supposed to be scary but some people are other things. The origins of trick or treating and dressing up were in the 16th century where people went door-to-door in costume asking for food in exchange for a poem or song. Many dressed up as souls of the dead and were understood to be protecting themselves from the spirits by impersonating them. So basically people wanted food because they couldn't afford it at the time. On hollween people love to carve punpkins. Lots of people wear mask to scare alot of people it could be really scary or really fun. The history behind halloween, halloween…

    There are many reasons why my favorite season is fall. I love fall because my favorite two holidays are during it, (Halloween and Thanksgiving.) My birthday is also in November. Another reason why I adore fall is, all the beautiful colors of the trees. It is the perfect temperature outside, it's not too cold out to wear a coat, but not too warm to go swimming. I can also play outside sports like basketball and football, or go biking without getting cold. Fall is great because I get to pick apples in beautiful apple orchards and carve pumpkins! I also love fall because of all the great food. Thanksgiving is the best! I love the turkey, corn, potatoes, cranberry jelly, and all the other Thanksgiving foods! I also love to dress up for Halloween…

    Taste is also a very important part of fall. You get to taste how delicious your pie is and the many different flavors of your Halloween candy. And of course you cannot forget about your Thanksgiving dinner. In the fall you get to go trick or treating and it is probably one of my favorite things to do. This season is a very good time for outdoor sports such as skateboarding because it is sunny but very cool and windy. One of my favorite things about fall is that you get to go to haunted houses.…

    Fall Season

    • 343 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Fall holds its own unique meaning for every individual. It could be the coming of cooler days to some, while others think of football. To the younger individuals, it means back to school, and those who are passionate about nature enjoy this time of year. Something as simple as a season change holds so many meanings to so many different individuals. Fall season is one of the most seasons I like because it makes me feel refreshed, cozy, renewed, and happy. Even though to some people it may just be a bunch of dead leaves, to me fall is a time of peace, love and remembrance. It lets me remember my child-hood when my brother and I rake huge piles of leaves then destroy the pile by jumping into them. I also love waking up in the morning and see the pecan tree out the window bare branches blowing in the wind. The best part is when I make cookies and sit on the porch, wrapped in a blanket, eating them with cold milk and watching the sunset. During the fall season, we encounter many Holidays such as Thanksgiving, Halloween, Black Friday and Christmas, creating a comfortable atmosphere. With the presence of friends and family around me, things always get easier to go through since others are always willing to put smiles on each other’s face. Black Friday is the day I always wait for every year. This is when I get prepared to buy all the stuff I need through the whole year from clothes to electronics. Although I hate to wait in those busy, long lines having my mom beside me and having some nice conversation makes time fly by too fast. Also, Thanksgiving is the best part of this season. It isn’t just about food, it is about feeling thankful and having the family reunite, nothing is better than having the ones you love beside…

    What’s your favorite season? Mine is for sure fall. I love the chilly weather fall brings. My reasoning for liking the chilly weather is because I enjoy getting to wear my Uggs, fuzzy socks, scarves , and sweatshirts. Dressing up for fall is so much fun!Another cool thing about the awesome season is football games, scary movies, haunted house, leafs, candles, pumpkin spice coffee, pumpkin patches, and many more. Every morning I make up happy knowing I get to drink a nice, warm cup of coffee without sweating to death from the summer heat. I enjoy summer too but fall will be my all time favorite! I know it sounds crazy that someone can be so into one season, but what can I say? It’s the best! Being able to open your home windows and feel that…
