Autumn.  This one word brings such joy to some people's world. In my opinion, autumn is my favorite season because of the weather and all the colors.  When the season changes to autumn, the weather starts getting colder and you get to wear sweat pants and sweat shirts.  I am the person who would rather be cold than hot.  When you are hot, it takes forever for you to cool down but when you are cold, all you have to do is get a blanket or put on a sweat shirt.  The good thing about autumn is that you can open your windows at night and let a whole bunch of fresh air in.  During the summer you can't do that because the air conditioning is constantly running.  I have to be cold when I go to bed, otherwise I won't be able to fall asleep and I am not a fun person to be around when I haven't gotten enough sleep.  At this time, the football season is getting closer to being over and that means the games are awesome! I love football games because I love showing school spirit and having fun.  I am on the dance team so I get to get into the games for free and dance at halftime.  At these games, you have to wear sweatshirts and long pants.  These outfits are the comfiest! The main reason that I love autumn is because the changing of colors.  My favorite part is walking down the road and watching all the colorful leaves hanging on the branches.  Red, orange, yellow and brown are such calming colors.  Some days when it is really windy, you can see the colorful leaf tornadoes.  These are groups of leaves spiraling in the air because of the wind.  In the fall, my family and I collect leaves and laminate them so we hang them up as decorations in the house.  I LOVE AUTUMN!
