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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
