10 Fun Fall Activities To Do With Family And Friends
Artur Rutkowski

Fall is around the corner, and I can't wait for it! I love warm fall sweaters, apple cider, and all the fun that fall brings. I'm sitting here with my roommate day-dreaming about fall, so why not dedicate a whole article to the second most wonderful time of the year (with the first being Christmas)! Sit down, relax, and daydream with us about all the fabulous fun that fall will bring...

1. Go apple picking

Apple picking is a must for fall! Gather your roommates, friends, and family because the more people you bring, the more apples you can put in your pockets! (Sorry, but a bushel and a peck are very expensive for college students. If Doris Day loves you a bushel and a peck, you better believe that it's a lot!)

2. Go pumpkin picking

And after you pick the perfect pumpkin, watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" It's a classic and it will make you remember how much you disliked Lucy.

3. Watch football games

Saturdays are for the boys!

4. Decorate for Halloween

What's better than putting on a witch hat and decorating your house with fake spiders and spider webs? Nothing. The answer is nothing.

5. Buy a Halloween costume

I don't care how old you are because EVERBODY should dress up for Halloween! It's an excuse to wear the things you'd rather be wearing every other day of the year. (I would love to be a princess and wear a gown every day, but unfortunately, I have to conform to social standards to make it in this world.)

6. Buy a PSL from Starbucks

Every person becomes an Ugg boots-wearing, PSL-drinking white girl in the fall. It's inevitable.

7. Bake pies

Apple pie, pumpkin pie, blueberry pie... all pie warms the heart and soul!

8. Get lost in a corn maze

It's not fun if you don't get lost! It may take hours, but if you get hungry just grab some corn, husk it, and eat it!

9. Have a bonfire

I always love to make the fire myself, so I can show off to my friends that I don't live in the upstate New York woods for nothing.

10. Go out to dinner at Smalley's!

This is me at Smalley's Restaurant in Carmel, NY. It is my favorite restaurant that is supposedly haunted, so it is a favorite in my town for Halloween. This is an embarrassing picture of me in October of 2010 during my awkward middle school years. If you read this far in the article, you have the right to make fun of this picture of me. I wish that all of you have a fall as fun as I did back in 2010!

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Grey's Anatomy

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
