Fall is finally here! The time of year for cozy sweaters, hot apple cider and Friday night football games. You can spend the season mourning the loss of summer or you can embrace the beautiful season that is autumn. Here is a list of activities you should make time for this fall!

1. Apple picking.

Find a sunny day and go to a local orchard. Not only are you supporting a local farm but you will also be able to make apple crisp, apple pie and apple sauce for the next week. Enjoy some hot cider and get to picking those apples!

2. Pumpkin picking.

Don't stop at just picking apples! Go to a local pumpkin patch too. Pumpkins serve as great porch decorations. Most pumpkin patches have plenty of fun activities to do while you visit. Go on a hayride with your closest friends with you're there.

3. Carve a pumpkin.

Once you bring your pumpkins home from the pumpkin patch, carve your masterpiece. Carve it a few days before Halloween so you can get in to the festive spirit. You can either buy a kit or freestyle it.

4. Go on a haunted hayride or to a haunted house.

Fall is the time for spooky things! What better way to spend a chilly Friday night than getting scared half to death? Fall is by far the spookiest season so enjoy it!

5. Jump in to a giant leaf pile.

Raking leaves can feel like a massive chore-until you make it a fun fall activity! Next time you need to rake the leaves in your front yard, jump in to the pile and relive your childhood days. You won't regret it.

6. Bake.

Sure, you can bake at any time during the year but baked goods always seem to taste better on a chilly fall day. Make all the apple pie and pumpkin bread you possibly can!

7. Go for a walk in the park.

Enjoy the fleeting warm days while they last. The temperature won't be above freezing for very long. Step on the extra crunchy leaves while you walk and enjoy the season.

8. Go to a Friday night football game.

Even if you don't know anyone at the local high school, go to the football game. Nothing makes me feel more festively fall then drinking hot chocolate at a local football game. Support the local kids!

9. Put together an awesome group costume for Halloween.

Don;t just go solo this Halloween. Get your best friends together and organize a fantastic group costume. You will be the hit of whatever Halloween party you go to!

10. Spend your entire Sunday watching football.

Sunday is the day of rest but is most importantly the day of football. Make some tasty chicken wing dip, order some pizza and watch the ball game with your best pals.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
