10 Things You Need On Your Fall Bucket List

There’s something about fall that everyone seems to love, whether it’s the perfect weather, the colors of the leaves, or the fact that everything you see in stores now comes in a pumpkin flavor. Fall just so happens to be my favorite season for those reasons, and many more. Here are some ideas to add to your bucket list to fuel your fall fever!

1. Carve pumpkins.

No fall bucket list is complete without carving pumpkins. Whether you’re a professional pumpkin carver, or not, it’s always fun to complete this activity with your family. After you’re done with the carving, put a candle inside so you can light it up at nighttime.

2. Go on a hayride.

This is another fall activity that is essential for your bucket list. It’s always fun to get a bunch of blankets and snuggle up with your family and friends on a chilly evening.

3. Have a bonfire.

Who doesn’t love a good bonfire with roasting marshmallows? I’m craving S’mores already!

4. Go camping.

If you love the outdoors, then camping is always a fun thing to do in the fall. The scenery is perfect at this time of the year, and the weather is just right.

5. Jump in piles of leaves.


Grab a group of friends and make the biggest piles of leaves you can to jump in. This used to be my favorite thing to do as a kid, and I still enjoy doing it. This can make for some good photo ops!

6. Capture the perfect fall scenery picture.

The leaves are so pretty at this time of the year. Drive down a country road, find a good spot, and then park on the side of the road. You will be able to find beautiful scenery to take perfect fall pictures. Then you can upload them to Instagram and everyone will be envious of your feed!


7. Visit a pumpkin patch.

It’s always fun to go pick out your own pumpkin to carve. Buying pumpkins from the store is no fun, so you should go out and get one in a pumpkin patch instead.


8. Go to a fall festival.

The best food, crafts, and decorations can always be found at fall festivals. Most festivals also have contests and live entertainment. You can’t go wrong with this activity!

9. Have a scary movie marathon.

If you’re brave, you can put on your favorite scary movies, throw on some pajamas, and pop some popcorn to go along with it. If you’re not so into scary movies, you could also throw on any Halloween movie or TV special. I suggest watching "Garfield's Halloween Adventure."

10. Have a costume contest.

Most teenagers don’t go trick-or-treating anymore, but that doesn’t mean you still won’t need a costume during the fall season. There are always Halloween parties and contests going on, so you should start planning for them now. Get some friends together, create some outfits, and then have a contest to see who can come up with the most creative one.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
