Anyone who knows me knows that summer is my favorite month. The warmer weather and long sunny days just make me happy. When fall rolls around, I literally start getting depressed, because I know that winter, which is my least favorite season is rapidly approaching. While there are many things I like about autumn, like the beauty of the leaves as they change colors, apple picking, and getting the chance to wear fashionable boots, there are quite a few things that I dislike. Here is a list of 7 things I hate about autumn.
1. Pumpkins, pumpkins Everywhere. What is up with pumpkin spice everything? Don't get me wrong, I love me some pumpkin pie, but do we really need pumpkin spice marshmallowsand M&M's? I just say no to pumpkin spice foods!
3. Raking up the never-ending pile of leaves. It seems like as soon as we rake up the leaves, more magically appear, or someone jumps on the pile.
4. Ending of daylight savings time. I hate that it gets dark at like four in the afternoon and hate that it's dark when I wake up in the morning. At least we get an extra hour of sleep on November 1st.
5. Crazy temperature swings. I have to say that the extreme changes in temperatures this time of year are tough to get used to. Waking up to frigid 30-degree weather and then having the temperature rise 30-40 degrees a few hours later makes it confusing as to how to dress for the day.
6. Everyone getting sick. Somehow every year without fail, we all get sick in the fall. I guess it has something to do with those changing temperatures.
7. Having to wear real shoes. I'm a flip-flop and Birkenstocks kind of girl and hate having to transition into wearing socks and shoes. I like my toes to be free! 
What about you? What do you love or hate about autumn?
