Fall. The air becomes colder, the nights become longer and the trees begin shedding their leaves in preparation for winter. This time of year does not only grace us with an abundance of great holidays, vibrant colors and a different wardrobe. It also introduces us to some different experiences that we have not been able to do for about a year. Here are six activities that you can try during this upcoming fall!

1. Boyd's Orchard

Located in Versailles, this is a great activity to bring the whole family to! Boyd's orchard has the obvious seasonal pumpkin picking to allow Halloween enthusiasts to demonstrate their pumpkin carving creativity. Whether you are doing this as a date night or out with friends, Boyd's orchard is fun for everyone.

2. Keeneland Fall Meet

Only two seasons out of the year are we lucky enough to have the Keeneland race track open. One of those seasons is spring and the other is, luckily, fall. Keeneland races run on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during the month of October. Come in on these days and enjoy the fall horse races.

3. University of Kentucky Football Games

Although the season starts in August, we are graced with an abundance of football games throughout the fall months. Seven of the fall games being at home allows a lot of busy weekends getting out of the house and tailgating with friends.

4. Lexington Farmer's Market

Come get your favorite fall fruits and vegetables at the Lexington Farmer's Market! It is on Saturday's from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Cheapside Park. In addition to fresh produce, the farmer's market offers some made at home crafts that are a great addition to any household.

5. Thursday Night Live

Thursday Night Live is another event that runs throughout the summer but continues into the first bit of fall. Complete with food trucks and a live band, Thursday Night Live is the perfect place to spend an evening after a long week of school work and studying. It is also located in the heart of downtown.

6. Ashland, The Henry Clay Estate

The Henry Clay Estate is a beautiful house that can be seen off of Richmond Road. Not only do they offer tours of the Historic home, but they also have events that run through the fall months. It is not all historic though, Ashland also offers a beautiful scenery through the fall months - it is a great location to take pictures.

Fall - the best season to try new things. Now lace up your Duck Boots, go out, and try the different activities that are on this list!

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
