Today, I wanna talk about PUMPKIN FEVER! You might be wondering... What is Pumpkin Fever? Well, simply put, it's the American obsession with adding pumpkin flavor into everything that you can think of. Here you have a few examples I have found so far...
-Pumpkin Pie
-Pumpkin OREO
-Pumpkin M&M's
-Pumpkin muffins
-Pumpkin butter
-Pumpkin chips
-Pumpkin spice Latte

So... If you like Pumpkin, that is basically your paradise, and Fall is the best time of the year because you get to eat all pumpkin flavors you can think of, and more. But...! If like me, you happen to hate pumpkin and definetely not like the flavor, you wish everytime everyone offers you flavored pumpkin food, it was chocolate instead of pumpkin...
One situation that was very funny to me, was with my Friendship Family. Millikin University has offered me and other international students the possibility to have a Friendship Family. It is a Family that takes care of us and welcomes us into their homes and we make plans together. I met my Friendship Family two weeks ago, and they were very welcoming.
The first day me and two of my international friends met with her we went into her house, and she told us that she made a dessert for us. I was so excited!!!
My excitement fade away immediately the moment she told me it was a pumpkin pie that she made "just for us". So there I was, sitting in the table and eating my "I just want a small piece of pie, I'm not quite hungry" pumpkin pie... I had the hardest time trying to finish all my pie. I certainly did not finish it, with the excuse that I had eaten a lot at the Caf, so I had no more space in my stomach for more pie!
