2020 has been nothing any of us could have imagined, but that doesn't mean it has to ruin what you want to do this autumn. Just like for the spring and summer, there will have to be some changes in what we can do this fall - but that doesn't mean they can't be fun.

Road trip around your town to see the changing leaves.

There are so many places around that have the most beautiful fall leaves. Roadtrip somewhere you've never been before and watch as the leaves change the more you drive and the sun hits them differently with each turn you take.

Create DIY fall decorations with your roomies.

Not artsy? Totally fine. Draw your best hand turkey and frame them (see if your friends who don't live there judge your work or silently hide their embarrassment for you and your roommates). Or, be extravagant and collect supplies to make your own fall wreath for your front door!

Have a Halloween movie night with you and your friends.

Your Complete 'Halloweentown' Guide To Halloween

A simple relaxed night to stay in with your friends and watch all of your childhood favorites, or daunting horror movies (if you're into that).

Enjoy homemade fall drinks and snacks.

Host a fall party and make your own fall punch or spiked cider along with Halloween trail mix or pies and bread (yum!).

Build a bonfire.

Gather up your friends, put on your favorite flannel and timberlands, and get cozy with your friends! You can go old school too and share scary stories around the fire.

Host a Halloween costume contest.

Not just who is the best, but whose is the funniest or most creative? People might have less ambition to really try with their costumes this year, so host something that will make them want to dress up!

Have a fall cook test.

Let's get Gordan Ramsay up in here! Collect recipes with your friends that you all want to try and dedicate a day with them to cook your way through them and find out whose was the best.

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.
