Fall Activities to do During a Pandemic

It's finally fall. Perfect weather for wearing a hoodie and sweats without dying of a heat stroke or somehow still freezing. But this sweater weather season is looking a little different in comparison to other years. Due to the pandemic, there are strict and necessary precautions in place at many attractions, limiting the number of guests, with some places even upping the price of admission due to the summer loss. But never fear, for I am here to give you some ideas (both at home and abroad) to make the most of this season!

Staying Home:

If going out isn't your thing, or you want to bring the outside in, then this is the spot for you!

  • Watch a Disney classic Halloweentown
  • Ubereats some Pumpkin Spice Lattes (from Starbucks, Dunkin, or your local coffee shop!)
  • Open up the windows and let some cool air in (and not from the air conditioner!)
  • Bake the Pillsbury sugar cookies



  • Rewatch the Harry Potter movies (warning: you might end up on harry potter TicTok but it's worth it)
  • Try your hand in baking or making some fall-flavored treats!

Going Out:

  • Go out and do some apple picking or a pumpkin patch! (My favorite is Demarest Farms in New Jersey!)
  • Take a nice brisk walk! (We could all use it after this quarantine)
  • Go get lost in a corn maze!
  • The Bronx Zoo has Boo at the Zoo from October 1st till November 1st where you can wear costumes and take part in fall activities!



Remember, whether you go out to do apple picking or just for a walk to get a Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, make sure you wear a mask and stay socially distant!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
