5 Date Ideas To Make Your Season Fall-tastic

https://www.pexels.com/photo/couple-together-with-autumn-color-background-2495634/

Fall is undoubtedly my favorite season a million reasons. I love that, although there is a slight chill in the air, I can still dress cute without freezing my ass off. I love that the colors of the leaves change to my three favorite colors: red, yellow, and orange.

I love that I can comfortably drink hot coffee in public without fear of people judging me for being a weirdo who drinks HOT COFFEE WHEN IT'S HOT OUT. Not me, not in the fall time.

Fall is also the best because it contains the greatest holidays: two I can stuff my face during and my birthday. Of course, I am referencing Halloween and Thanksgiving but I stuff my face on my birthday too now that I think about it.

Halloween is the absolute greatest; I love the thrill of being scared and this season celebrates that thrilling feeling for me. I also love in being in costume and eating chocolate so this is my perfect holiday.

Although I will not say this in a few years, I still enjoy my birthday. I know Thanksgiving has negative roots but it is a good time to eat food and spend with family. And don't forget about those Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts!!!!

I have made it extremely clear that fall is my favorite season. And since it is I have to savor EVERY SECOND of it! In hopes of sharing the greatness of the season with everyone, including my boyfriend (duh), I have provided you with date ideas that are a must if you want to enjoy the fall time as much as I do.

1. Support your favorite team at a football game!

If you enjoy sporting events, why not attend one as a date? Whether the two of you are on a first date or you have been together for years, going to a football game is a great way to support your favorite team and get some yummy food and hot chocolate!

Football games can also be cheap if you are a student in college! Many students get in for discounted rates to games. At Eastern Michigan, current students can attend sporting events for free; EMU also offers discounted tickets for alumni.

2. Scream until you can no longer speak at a haunted house!

This is my favorite thing to do during the fall! I absolutely must go to a haunted house! I love Wiard Orchard's Night Terrors Thrill Park in Ypsilanti, Michigan! This thrill park has six haunted attractions so you can spend your entire evening there!

Unlike a football game, a haunted house can be a bit pricy. If you are looking for a cheaper way to get scared, organizations like fraternities sometimes put on haunted houses with smaller fees than the real ones to get funding for their organizations.

3. Pick apples and pumpkins at an orchard.

Orchards and farms often offer festivities during the fall. These festivities include corn mazes, haunted houses, pumpkin patches, apple picking, and hayrides. Going to your local orchard (such as Wiard's Orchard in the daytime) gets you out in nature and helps you get supplies for another date (read below for more).

Entering orchards is usually free to do; you will only need to bring money if you want to buy something or do an activity (ex: hayride).

4. Carve or paint pumpkins!

If you pick pumpkins at a pumpkin patch with your loved one, you MUST paint or carve those pumpkins! Working on an art project with your partner is a surprisingly awesome way to get closer to them.

5. Feed adorable animals at your local petting zoo.

Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy fall; the weather is also great for our animal friends. If you love animals as much as I do, take your partner to the local petting zoo! Domino's Petting Farm in Ann Arbor is an inexpensive way to immerse yourself and your date in nature. The animals love being visited and it can make for some cute photos!

Even if you are not dating anyone, these activities are a must! Take your friends or family to these locations!

Whether you are making pumpkin art together or being scared together, going on these dates will help you cherish the fall time and grow closer to your loved one (even if you're on a budget).

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

12. How to be humble.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
