25 Things Every GVSU Student Should Do This Fall

Classes have started and fall is quickly approaching, which means it’s time to figure out some fun activities to do before winter creeps its way onto campus. Here is a fall bucket list to ensure that you make the best of these next few autumn months and don’t take the colorful scenery or your soon to be frozen surroundings for granted.

Attend Art Prize.
Enjoy delicious cider, donuts and caramel apples from Robinette’s.
Go on a hayride and find your way through a corn maze.
Spend some quality time with your family during Grand Valley’s family weekend.
Go to every GVSU football game and tailgate.
Go on a carriage ride through downtown.
Be brave and visit The Haunt.
Find the perfect Halloween costume and go all out.
Enjoy a pumpkin spice latte from the new Starbucks on campus while you study.
Have a movie marathon with the best Halloween movies ("Halloweentown" and "Hocus Pocus" are a must).
Carve pumpkins with your roommates.
Visit the zoo.
Take a hike through the Ravines.
Play football or study in The Arboretum.
Join a club or organization and get involved on campus.
Explore the breweries that have dubbed GR Beer City, USA.
Go to a Grand Rapids Griffins game.
Check out Halloween on Ionia and try to win the best costume contest.
Take a stroll through the awesome downtown market and Grand Valley’s own Farmers Market.
Attend a concert at either Van Andel Arena or The Intersection.
Participate in the GVSU Homecoming events.
Spend a day exploring the historic museums of Grand Rapids.
Run The 5KRunDead or The Zombie Dash.
Bundle up and watch the sunset at the beach because Lake Michigan is beautiful no matter the season.
Appreciate GVSU’s fall beauty before it becomes a snow globe.

This list is a pretty good start, but there is an abundance of great events that Grand Rapids and Grand Valley have to offer this fall! Both GVSU and Grand Rapids have so much culture and history to explore, and fall is the perfect time to put on a sweater, grab your hot beverage of choice and go exploring before the first snowflakes start to stick.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
