The Ultimate List Of Basic Fall Activities
Katie Francis

As a Fall enthusiast, I am constantly looking for fun ways to enjoy the season. Much like people create a summer bucket list, this list is everything you must do in order to fully appreciate everything that the Autumn season has to offer.

1. Apple picking.

Choose a breezy Fall day and gather a group to go apple picking! No matter where you live, there are farm markets all over the country with orchards full of apple trees just waiting for you to fill up your basket.

2. Costume shopping.

Since most of these activities involve enjoying the beautiful Fall weather, this idea is particularly great for a rainy Fall afternoon. Head to your nearest Party City and try on the hottest and craziest new costumes!

3. Having a photo shoot.

When the leaves begin to change color, it is the perfect opportunity for a Fall photo shoot. Whether you dress up and model in front of Fall foliage or snap photos of a colorful forest, you are sure to come out with great results.

4. Going to a pumpkin patch.

One of the most obvious activities is going and picking out the best pumpkin. Have each person in your group pick out a pumpkin and see who can create the spookiest jack-o-lantern!

5. Going on a hayride.

Hayrides run at farm markets across the nation. They come in a variety of themes, including spooky haunted night rides and friendly daytime rides more suitable for groups with younger audiences.

6. Walking through a corn maze.

Similarly to hayrides, you can often pick your experience based on the time of day you plan your trip. Either way, be prepared to walk around in circles completely lost.

7. Going through a haunted house.

One of the most adventurous activities on this list is visiting a haunted house. Haunted houses are perfect for a group that is daring and fearless, or just looking for a good scare!

8. Baking.

Remember those apples that you picked? Put them to good use and make the perfect Autumn apple pie, or make those deliciously simple Pillsbury cookies.

9. Napping.

Some people may not consider taking a nap an activity, let alone worthy of being on the Fall bucket list. However, snuggling up under a huge blanket and falling asleep to the sound of afternoon rain is the Fallest thing you could do.

10. Watching a movie marathon.

Having a movie marathon can take place at any time of the year, but Fall is the best time to watch copious amounts of horror films. Check out the 31 Days of Halloween movie marathon on Freeform!

11. Volunteering at a soup kitchen.

The season of giving doesn't have to wait until Christmas time. Weather is beginning to get cooler, so use this time to get to meet and help out people in need.

12. Going to a coffee shop.

Coffee shops are the ultimate Fall aesthetic. Enjoy some coffee or sip hot chocolate while reading your favorite book, and the scene makes a great Fall Instagram photo.

13. Carving pumpkins.

Mentioned previously, carving pumpkins is extremely fun (and messy), no matter who you are with! Gather your friends and carve out the spookiest scene you can come up with.

14. Going to a football game.

Football is one of the best things that comes with Fall every year. Professional, college, or high school, any game makes a great activity for avid sports fans.

15. Going to a bonfire.

Bonfires are a great way to end a fun day full of Fall activities. Cozy up under a blanket and the stars, and share your best scary story with your fellow Fall enthusiasts.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
