According to the Farmer's Almanac, the autumnal equinox signifies the beginning of fall. The official first day of autumn in the northern hemisphere will happen on Sunday, September 22. And fall memes remind us that as the weather shifts from Brat Summer to Christian Girl Autumn, it's time to trade iced tea at the pool for pumpkin spice lattes and cozy sweaters.
