In This Article:

If you are like me you definitely love summer, but fall offers so many more activities that really might give it the number one ranking for the different seasons. Fall provides the great opportunity to do so many fun things, and here is a list of what I think should be on your bucket list of top ten things to do this fall season!

Tailgate for a football game!

Madyson Thompson

Personally, I think football is the best sport to watch, and fall is the best time to take advantage of tailgating your high school, college, and favorite national football teams games.

Go to a pumpkin patch!

Madyson Thompson

This is such a great date, that does not have to break your bank account, plus the pumpkin patch locations often offer other activities as well making for a great day full of fall fun.

Stay in and have a horror movie night.

Fall is home to a few great holidays, including halloween! Which makes it the perfect time to snuggle up under a blanket with some candy and popcorn to watch some scary, or not so scary movies!

Go to a haunted house or hayride.

Madyson Thompson

Personally, I am a huge baby when it comes to haunted houses, but I love haunted hayrides because they provide me with a feeling of safety and security while on the wagon. It is a tradition that we do at least one every fall near halloween.

Fall is also a great time to go hop on a wagon ride to go apple picking.

Another not so expensive date, that is hands on and fun. It can take a good amount of time, and you get to pick delicious apples that you can make into pies, candy apples, or caramel apples. Yum.

Have a bonfire!

Fall gives us the perfect weather to sit around a fire with our friends, maybe enjoy a few drinks, or tell some scary stories while of course roasting marshmallows and making smores!

The leaves falling off trees, and changing colors also makes for a perfect photo session.

Madyson Thompson

That's right we're all going to be dragging our friends and boyfriends to an open field to take a ton of "off-guard" pictures of us with the leaves in the background, or even just with that perfectly colored grass. The colors of the sky also make for perfect photos of your surroundings.

Perfect weather for baking!

Fall again gives you that perfect weather, not too hot and not too cold, so you can bake whatever your heart desires, especially pumpkin based items like pie or bread!

Costume parties are still fun at all ages, So throw one!

Madyson Thompson

Halloween is at the end of October, but who cares if you are celebrating early or late! Having a costume party will have all of your friends thanking you for quite some time.

Lastly, treat yourself and stay in doing whatever you want!

Dominic Carey

This weather and the content on tv make for the perfect excuse to cuddle up on your couch with a cup of hot chocolate doing nothing at all! You can spend the night in fuzzy socks cooking up a nice meal, watching shows, movies, or painting (yes go and paint a pumpkin!) and you will have no regrets at all!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
