10 Fun Fall Activities

Fall is here and it's time to have some fun! Here are some ideas for you!

1. Go to a pumpkin patch

There's nothing quite like picking your own pumpkin! So, go to a pumpkin patch near you and search for the one you want to take home. At many patches, they have other activities set up for people of all ages to enjoy. Take advantage of this simple but fun trip for the whole family!

2. Make pie

There are so many options! Pumpkin, apple, chocolate, pecan, and so much more! If it's too cold to go outside or you need something to bring to a party, gather in the kitchen and bake! This can be a fun activity to do alone or with your friends and family!

3. Build a scarecrow

This less common activity can actually be super easy and fun! Plus, it provides you with a decoration to put in your yard or on your porch! Here is a link to a DIY scarecrow: http://www.diynetwork.com/how-to/make-and-decorate...

4. Eat candy

Fall means Halloween. And Halloween means CANDY! You don't have to wait for kids to go trick-or-treating to eat some, though. Go ahead and splurge a little (or a lot) and enjoy some candy for yourself! Although you might outgrow going door to door, you never outgrow going to the store!

5. Attend a football game

Some might refer to this season not as fall but as football season! A football game creates a fun environment for all! Get out and support your local and/or your favorite teams! Take a few hours to be loud, smile, and enjoy time with other fans just like you!

6. Carve pumpkins

When you get back from the pumpkin patch, there's only one thing left to do - carve the pumpkin you picked out! This is your chance to be creative! You can give your pumpkin a face, carve out your favorite logo or character, or anything else your heart desires! When you're done carving, stick a candle or light in it so that everyone can see your creation at night!

7. Make warm drinks

Hot chocolate, apple cider, pumpkin spice, and so much more! You don't have to go buy expensive cups of your favorite warm drinks. They are all easy to make at home! Here are some links to good recipes:

8. Watch scary movies

One of the best things about this season is the mood and market for scary movies. Different ones are released every year but it's also nice to go back and rewatch some oldies but goodies! Make sure you grab a friend... it can be extra scary alone.

9. Play in the leaves

You're never too old to rake up some leaves into a pile and then jump right into it and make a mess of your yard! Playing in leaves is one activity that will never become mundane. It's natures free entertainment!

10. Make your own Halloween costume

Another chance to get creative - make your own Halloween costume! You can go solo or grab a friend and come up with a fun idea together! There are cheaper ways to enjoy your dream costume, using some resources you already have. Don't be afraid to try something new as you brainstorm and create!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
