Fall is the perfect time for those quintessential cute dates: pumpkin picking, hayrides, fall festivals, flannel shopping--you name it! But, if you're anything like me, you really don't have the money to go on any fancy fall dates. So here are some inexpensive ways to celebrate the best season with your SO!

1. Raking the leaves!

What could be more fun than three whole hours of exhausting, back-breaking work? Bonus points if you have to start over because the wind picked up and scattered your all your hard work across the yard again.

2. Eating the leaves!

That's right, after you finally finished all that hard fall work, sit back and relax with a few crunchy leaves. And if that taste isn't enough for you, slather on some dirt for some extra protein. Yum!

3. Make a bonfire out of sticks and leftover alcohol!

Step 1: Grab sticks. Step 2: Pour your half empty Schnapps over them. Step 3: Throw in a match and burn, baby, burn!

4. Apple picking in the dining hall!

Too broke to afford farm fresh apples? Well look no further than your friendly dining hall for some! It might take away all of the fun of real apple picking, but you sure still have your pick of the best--because, really, who eats all of those apples? How long are they left there for? They're just lying there in those buckets... Is this what our tuition is used for?.

5. Gourd carving!

Your Wiccan friend with the crystals told you it's way more authentic than pumpkin carving anyway. Jessica would like it, probably. And this is, like, your third date so what could possibly go wrong?

6. Sensually pour a pumpkin spice latte on your partner!

Who cares about fancy, expensive oils for your date night? Spice up her world by directly pouring a scalding coffee onto her flesh! Even better if you steal it from your roommate--it's free for you and fun for her!

7. Crying together as you study for midterms!

I know it's our month-aversary babe, but can we please stay in and study for Marine Ecology? I don't have any idea what phylum sea slugs are in, and it's stressing me out.

8. Take a quick Uber with a guy in a large truck--it's almost like a hayride!

If a hayride was filled with cigarette butts and oddly sexual R&B music. Oh and also no hay.

9. Warm up on a chilly night by re-microwaving ramen!

Don't have the money to buy your date some warm apple cider, or even just a cup of regular ramen? No worries, my man! Simply save the liquid from your last cup of noodles and reheat it as a drink. She will absolutely love your thriftiness. (Note: this is for only the extremely cheap/if you're on your way to a breakup.)

10. Dress in a crazy couple's costume for Halloween!

Or just go in your regular clothes to save money. Reality is scary enough dude.


Hope you liked these 10 fall date ideas! I know I'm going to take my SO on a special fall date night using one of these :) (It'll probably be number 7, but we'll pretend it's not.)

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
