Adventures In Florida In The Fall

Things to do once the heat is gone.

Adventures In Florida In The Fall

The end of October and beginning of November begins the best season in Florida in my opinion. The Summer heat is finally coming to an end, and it is comfortable to be outside and enjoying outdoor activities again. The Summer heat can kind of put you in a slump, so if you are looking for some amazing things to do outside in the next few months in Florida, check out some of these.

Tree Hoppers

Although a bit on the pricey side, this vertical adventure is well-worth your money. 3 hours of hopping around trees on a cable wire will leave you craving more. The well-designed obstacle course has 4 tiers of difficulty. The black diamond course is no joke, be prepared to be sore afterwards if you attempt it.

The courses are fun and challenging. The staff are friendly and very good at explaining what to do when you are up in the trees. They have several obstacles that are zip lines, along with others that involve some climbing and trick maneuvering. I strongly advise going with a partner to assist you through the obstacles if you are a first-timer.

Tree Hoppers is located in Dade City, about 45 minutes north of Tampa. This is a trip that you don’t want to miss, make sure you check it out before the heat returns.

St. Petersburg Saturday Morning Market

Every Satruday morning from 7:00a.m. to 2:00p.m., St Petersburg offers a large farmer's market full of diverse and interesting vendors for you to explore. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is delightful to start a Saturday morning with. This market takes place year round, but from October through March is the best time to go.

The heat is not too bad to stroll around for an hour or two and explore the many vendors that this market has to offer.

The market is directly next to the Rowdey’s Soccer Stadium and offers a beautiful view over the water and live music from local artists. I highly encourage you to take a stroll through the market the next Saturday morning that you have a chance.

Epcot Food and Wine Festival

Disney offers a variety of attractions and entertainment events year round, but nothing quite like the Food and Wine Festival which runs from September to the first week of November. The food and wine festival is unique as it offers an opportunity for adults to explore the park in a magical way. Dozens of vendors from around the world set up in Epcot’s World Showcase and offer food and beverages from different countries around the World.

You will enjoy making your way around the showcase drinking and sampling food from all of the different countries. It is a great place to go in groups. The atmosphere is uncomparable, and it is worth the price of admission. If you have never been to this event, I highly advise going at least once to see it.

Don’t forget to get your Disney Souvenir Passport and have it stamped at every country that you visit!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
