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.

Create DIY fall decorations with your roomies.

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.

Enjoy homemade fall drinks and snacks.

Build a bonfire.

Host a Halloween costume contest.

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.
