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.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
