Top 10 Best Things About September

This past winter brought a new dawn to my way of reacting to weather changes. I have come to love and anticipate each season since I find refreshment from each major climate-related change.

I love autumn for the cooler breezes, the refreshing scents of nature, the color changes, the seasonal activities, and more.

It's still warm enough to enjoy without freezing, but not unbearably hot and humid. There's a delightful crispness in the air.

September is the only month in which you can enjoy both summer and fall.

The leaves start to turn yellow, orange, and red, but they stay on the trees. You can enjoy the colors without having to rake them up!

In Australia, September is the beginning of spring.

I love school. It's definitely a privilege, especially to go to a school like the one I attend. Not only do I feel super motivated and ready to get straight A's, but I also get new friends and new goals.

It just feels great to be so motivated.

Reconnecting with old friends and making new ones is exciting. Plus, you'll be learning a bunch of new information.

Yes, I totally agree. I have exams in September, and I top the class. And guess what? Today is September 5th, time for my fourth exam!

In baseball, it's the final month of the season, and teams are jockeying for playoff positions. Football gets underway, and hockey is about to do the same.

Hockey doesn't come back until October, but it being only one month away is better than it being five months away.

I love the start of the football season. But school sucks!

Cooler evenings agree with me considerably when it comes to getting a good night's sleep. No more sweaty mornings.

Temperatures are lower and nighttime is longer, so sleeping is easier.

Thank goodness, because sleeping is sort of like a hobby of mine.

Most stores have all kinds of discounts and sales. Plus, Halloween stuff hits the shelves. My favorite record store currently has a 2-for-1 deal going.

All the best summer movies start making their way onto the shelves. I stopped asking for movies for Christmas ages ago since I can never help myself from buying them.

I tend to check for new releases around July, but really it can be any time of year.

Mind you, Armin's sixth album is in October, and I'm looking forward to that.

A lot of musicians and authors choose to release their new works in September. You might find the soundtrack and plot of the rest of your year.

Summer is great, but the novelty of staying in bed until noon wears off when you can do it every day. Nobody expects you to do anything on weekends, except homework. Oh, wait...

I love hiking at this time of year. The air is cool, the mosquitoes are mostly gone, and since animals are preparing for winter and have less ground cover, you tend to spot more wildlife.

Everyone's getting back to routines and schedules because of work, school, and other activities. I personally try to keep my mind occupied with some structure, so I love this "settling in" period.

Since university starts in October in my country, I'm spending this September planning ahead.

Too bad I currently have more of a structure than the college does.
