🍂 Fall 2022 🍁


What should you be looking forward to this fall?

10/26/2017

 
By Erika Wu and Jadelyn Lou

​     Since it is finally fall, you can experience the warmth of pumpkin spice lattes in your hands, the comfort in oversized sweaters, and new television shows. Leaves falling down, pumpkins everywhere, and holidays coming up. The creepy feeling going up your spine, jack-o-lanterns on the porch, the turkey on the dinner table with the pumpkin pie waiting to be in your mouth? You can expect these things and many more this fall.

     Pumpkin spice lattes (also known as the PSL) are what many people look forward to during the fall. People like theses delicious lattes because of their seasoned pumpkin pie flavor and the creamy whipped cream on top. All you have to do is walk to your nearest Starbucks. Get ready to devour this in one sip.
     It’s almost the holidays, and people enjoy getting that vibe. Do you like wearing sweaters that are sizes too large for you? Well then this is your season. Sweaters and sweatpants are going on sale for that comfy fall feeling. Black Friday is also coming up on November 24, so get ready and prepare for these amazing deals.
     Another reason to look forward to fall is the new shows. The Brave from NBC is one of the shows coming out. Others include The Crossing (ABC), Young Sheldon (CBS), The Gifted (FOX), and The Good Doctor (ABC). Many people are excited about the new television shows (and there are many who will dress up as their favorite character this Halloween). Stay tuned for the latest updates!
