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!

Hyde Park Fall Festival

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
