Fall doesn't really exist in Florida, but that doesn't mean there aren't some fun Fall activities to do!

Fall is probably not the first thing that comes to mind when you think Florida. Even though it is still hot as hell, it does get a little cooler, so we do our best to pretend Fall is here! For those of you who transferred from up North, and are missing all the Fall activities back home - you may have some fun at these events!

The signature of any fall activity is pumpkin picking/carving. Hyde Park Fall Festival begins October 6th, and continues through the end of the month. The Fall Festival include a pumpkin patch open 7 days a week, and of course you can enjoy all the food and music Hyde Park has to offer!

I am not a huge Disney person, but I love Disney during Fall. Disney has various different themed Halloween nights and parades during the month of October. My favorite has to be their newly added Hocus Pocus Halloween Party! Definitely put your annual passes to Disney and check out some of the fun Halloween inspired events there

The best thing about Fall in Florida, is that you don't have to worry about being cold or getting snowed out, so why not head to St. Pete for some fall fun? Ghost Tours in St. Pete host a walking door of the post haunted areas in St. Pete. Tickets are only $20 and $12 for kids. This is a great way to learn a little more about historical St. Pete and the haunter places that lurk there.

Tulane University

316

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.

Washington College

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. 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.

University of Vermont

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.

Because you need it in your life.
