Reasons Why Fall is the Best

I personally think that all of the seasons have their advantages and disadvantages. Some of them are little more unfortunate than others (I mean, who can really enjoy spring when it rains constantly, and you lose an hour during the time change halfway through), but they definitely all have pros and cons.

A few weeks ago, I asked Nathan to rank all of the months, while I did the same. To fulfill my spreadsheet fix for the day, I decided it would be a great use of time to document our results into a spreadsheet and accompanying graph. These are our results:


....in case you're wondering, this is how I came up with calculations. Each month was ranked in reverse order (the best month gets a 12, the worst month gets a 1). After averaging both of our answers, I created a graph with Nathan's answers, my answers, and our "combined" answers.

NOW...based on that info, I made up some random formula to discover that fall is the best season, with October being the best month. So, those are the facts.

Now, here are the opinions. Reasons Why Fall is the Best Season:

  1. My birthday is in October and Nathan's birthday is in October.
  2. The leaves are the best colors during fall.
  3. The weather is decent most of the time during fall. Not too hot, not too cold.
  4. Fall has the best seasonal flavors (pumpkin spice, apple cider, halloween candy).
  5. Bonfires are the bomb diggity.
