3 Ways to Spend Fall Break

Fall has officially begun but so have midterms. Don't let this discourage you! Fall break will be here before you know it! Here's a short list of ways to have an exciting break and participate in this season's festivities. Bonus: many of these ideas are inexpensive!

1. Visit A Pumpkin Patch or Apple Orchard

Nothing says fall quite like pumpkin pie and apple cider. Grab your friends or family and go apple or pumpkin picking. Many pumpkin patches offer other attractions like a corn maze, hay rides, and some even have haunted houses. This is a great way to spend a day with quality people without spending an enormous amount of money!

2. Go Downtown

Many bars and restaurants have fall deals going on, including limited time only options. Stop in and check out what they're serving. Bar scene not your style? Downtown has a wide variety of options for you to pick from. Many places will host costume parties, have haunted tours, and ghost story tellings. Regardless of you plan to do, you'll get to enjoy your beautiful city.

3. PSL and Chill


Gather your friends, grab your favorite fall drink (mine happens to be the caramel apple spice from Starbucks) and tune into Netflix for a night of scary movies. Or binge watch Stranger Things to see what all the hype is currently about. There's nothing more relaxing or funny than yelling "Boo" when you know your friends are freaked out. Plus, there's no better Halloween movie than Hocus Pocus.

Midterms are stressful, but try to keep your spirits up. There are many fun things that you can do without spending a lot of money! Staying festive will also help you manage your stress and fall break will allow you to relax for a few days! Hang in there!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
