UGG Boots

With the warmth and comfort of UGG boots, you know it is fall when it is UGG boot season. Just slip into a pair of your favorite UGG boots, and enjoy fall. These warm boots will be relaxing to your feet while keeping them warm all season long. Enjoy the UGG boot season, before their time is up, and they have to go back into your closet!

Pumpkin Spice Latte


Either hot or cold this Starbucks drink is one of the most popular holiday drinks. No one can resist saying “No” to this delicious, orange, pumpkin-y fall drink. They are fun to take pictures of, with, and especially the most common picture taken… a selfie with your Pumpkin Spice Latte! Get them while you can and while they are still in season.


Pumpkin Picking & Carving

At a young age, children love going pumpkin picking; however, even as we get older we still love going pumpkin picking. Additionally, with the hayrides that are usually at the pumpkin patches, this makes going pumpkin picking even more fun as well. Children love picking out their own pumpkin, and finding that “special one”. After children find that one pumpkin, they love bringing it home, where they will have an idea in mind or find a design online or in a magazine maybe that they would like to carve into their pumpkin. Of course, the children will not carve the pumpkin but will instruct their parents on how they want their pumpkin to be carved.

While carving the pumpkin, you can scoop out all the pumpkin seeds and put them aside on a tray. On the tray the seeds will then be washed, seasoned (with butter and salt; however, you can also find pumpkin seed recipes online) then baked. Once baked you will have edible, delicious, homemade pumpkin seeds. You will also have a pumpkin seed recipe that you will be able to share with the later generations down the road, and also you will have a beautifully carved pumpkin which will be perfect for the upcoming Halloween holiday. Pumpkins are gorgeous, fun to pick, decorate and also very multifunctional.

Apple Picking

A good way to start fall is by apple picking. It is fun to do with your friends, family, even your neighbors. When you go apple picking this fall make sure you get some crisp apple cider, for fall is not complete without some fresh local cider. Also if the farm that you decide to go apple picking sells apple cider donuts, you should definitely purchase some. They will be worth your money, and you will say to yourself “I have never tasted a donut like this before.” The reason you will be saying this is because they will be amazing and taste like heaven in every bite! Apple picking is fun, delicious, and memorable :)

Falling into a Pile of Leaves


When children are little and even as they get older, they will never forget the countless times they fall backward into a pile of leaves. Just grab a dozen or two handfuls of leaves (adult handfuls preferably) and then put them into a pile and soon you will see the pile start to grow bigger and bigger. Then you can fall backward and end up in the pile of leaves. It is sort of like a trust fall, but with leaves. Even adults can do this activity and will think that it is enjoyable, and walk away laughing.


Going on Nature Walks


With the weather not too hot, not too cold, the weather is perfect. Nature walks are perfect for schools if they need to get out of the classroom, explore or just take their students out of the classroom for a little air. Going on nature walk adventures are also wonderful for families, especially when family members come to town for the fall holidays. Families can go to a local park or on a long walk around a creek or falls, for example Brandywine Falls, which has some hills and also a waterfall. These nature adventures are terrific for friends as well, if they ever want to be adventurous, and explore the outdoors. They will have the opportunity to take pictures of nature, while also taking selfies at the same time with the beautiful scenery around them. Nature hikes are fun, beautiful, and the best time to do them in the fall time!

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.
