Let's be honest here: we both know you're scrolling through Pinterest, pinning all of these fall bucket lists. We both know you're craving to make the best out of your fall season this year because everyone else on Instagram is sharing their fall time festivities. We also both know that the reality of it: a majority of those activities won't actually happen or at least some of them you can do at any time of the year - like putting on your rain boots and jumping into puddles.

Whether it may be food, corn mazes, football games, movies, whatever it is you're trying to accomplish to get the most out of your fall, do it for yourself.

Don't do it for social media. Sharing your pictures is fine, especially if you're a photographer or you're trying to keep up with your aesthetic. But it's the same thing as just going to the beach to take a bikini picture. Do these activities to make memories. Print the photos and make a scrapbook or put them in a photo album.

Also, make sure you're doing these things that apply to YOU. Don't like apple pie? Don't go apple picking, or use the apples for something else. Do you like pumpkin everything? Make as many pumpkin things as you want. This doesn't just apply to food, just make sure you're being as realistic with yourself as possible. You also don't need a list to tell yourself to go crunch leaves when you walk.

As a college student, it can be pretty hard to balance all your homework and wanting to go to a corn maze at the same time. So in that case, you can't do everything. If I had to make my own realistic fall bucket list, this is what it would look like (not in order):

1. Make pumpkin bread

2. Decorate the suite

3. Make Pillsbury sugar cookies

4. Take pictures of friends in a fall setting

5. Decorate glow-in-the-dark pumpkins

6. If I can get to it, go to a corn maze

7. Take time out of each day to enjoy the fall foliage

8. Make S'mores

9. Burn fall-scented candles

10. Try a new fall recipe with suitemates

11. Friendsgiving with suitemates

12. Fall cleaning day

13. Watch an autumn sunset

14. Fall-themed night with suitemates: sweaters, hot chocolate, and Halloween movies

15. Create fall-inspired outfits

16. If I can get to it, go to a haunted house

17. Have an Oktoberfest event with friends

18. Go apple picking

19. Create Fall-inspired desktop backgrounds

20. Create my own fall scent on the stove

21. Create maple leaf mason jars

22. Go to a fall festival

23. Go to home football games

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?

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.
