40 Things For The Perfect Fall Bucket List For College Students

1. Order a PSL

Screw the haters. You order that PSL and you embrace every divine moment of it. It only happens once a year, just live your best life and accept the inevitable "basic white girl" label.

2. Go to a football game

3. Have a bonfire

4. Make homemade hot chocolate

Check out this quick and easy recipe from All Recipes. A little time and effort make all the difference in a cup of creamy hot cocoa when compared to packets of Swiss Miss.

5. Go apple picking

6. Have a scary movie marathon

7. Go through a haunted house

8. Take a nature walk

9. Do a corn maze

10. Knit a scarf

Step one: learn to knit.

11. Bake cookies from scratch

You can never go wrong with this classic recipe for Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies.

12. Alternatively, bake those delectable boxed Pillsbury cookies

13. Spend a rainy day reading a book

14. Compile a soothing playlist

Mine consists of Bon Iver, Ben Howard, The National, Alabama Shakes, and Max Jury.

15. Donate blood

What's a better way to celebrate Halloween than getting some blood sucked out of you? According to the Community Blood Center, blood shortages are most common during the summer and winter months, so this is a great time to start getting in the habit of giving blood throughout the holidays. And in the wake of natural disasters like Hurricane Harvey, the demand for donations skyrockets. Suck up that fear of needles and go save some lives.

16. Go stargazing

17. Offer to rake a neighbor's yard

Don't make the little old man next door do it all by himself.

18. Bake a pie

Then eat said pie all by yourself in one sitting.

19. Take a technology break

20. Go to a local fair or festival

Pawnee Harvest Festival anyone?

21. Donate your old winter clothing and gear

Sweaters, coats, hats, gloves, boots... if you aren't using them, someone else will. Find a local shelter or clothing drive to donate your unused winter gear to (staying far away from the Salvation Army and other charities that exploit, discriminate against, and deceive the people they claim to help).

22. Make homemade soup

23. Start a Five Minute Journal

Get yours here.

24. Make s'mores

Or if you're like me, just eat all the chocolate.

25. Plant bulbs with your mom

Bulbs are plants that go in the ground during the fall to bloom in the springtime. Take a day with your mom/motherly figure to plant bulbs outside and spend some quality time together.

26. Go on a hayride

Unless you're allergic to hay.

27. Bake pumpkin bread

To go with your PSL, of course.

28. Declutter your room

Spring Cleaning doesn't have to come just once a year. With the colder weather coming, you're going to be spending more time inside and it's important to keep your environment clean, fresh, and welcoming. Clear out your closet, get rid of things you don't need and aren't using, and try out some feng shui techniques so your living space can become a breeding ground for positive energy.

29. Treat yourself to some Bath & Body Works fall scents

30. Or make your own candles

31. Read a Stephen King novel

32. Start a new TV show

Fall is full of television premieres, and it's also the perfect time to binge shows that will be returning this winter, like the CW's The 100.

33. Do a DIY project off of Pinterest

34. Watch every Tim Burton movie

35. Have a pet costume contest with friends

36. Learn the "Thriller" dance

37. Go for an early jog in the crisp air

38. Make caramel apples

39. Press leaves

40. Have a Harry Potter marathon

There are so many ways to enjoy all the beauty, coziness, and fun that fall has to offer. Go out there and make the most of it!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
