For some, the return of the famous pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks puts them right into the mood for fall. Drinking a hot, pumpkin spice latte is the highlight of a crisp, fall day for these people. However, for people like me, the thought of drinking a "PSL" brings nothing close to joy. To me, fall isn't a time for pumpkin spice lattes. It's time for so much more.

1. Have a scary movie marathon

Halloween is coming, and that means good movies are, too! Nothing's better than getting cozy with your favorite blanket and your favorite scary movie.

2. Drink apple cider

If I don't want to drink one of the "signature" fall drinks, at least I like the other! Apple cider is the perfect drink for a crisp fall day.

3. Go to a pumpkin patch

There's always been something exciting about looking at pumpkins and finding the one that's for you.

4. Find my way through a corn maze 

Getting turned around in a corn maze can be a little scary, but it's a great way to spend a fall day!

5. Carve pumpkins

After going to the pumpkin patch and finding the perfect pumpkin, it's time to carve it! Carving an elaborate design, or a simple face, into a pumpkin is a fun way to spend a fall afternoon.

6. Go apple picking

This is a great option for when the weather is still warm enough (it's also a perfect date idea!).

7. Walk through a haunted house

Haunted houses have always freaked me out a little, but they're also one of my favorite things. Go with friends to the best-haunted house around you, and have a spooky time!

8. Go on a hayride

A hayride is something that I often forget about. However, it's super fun (if you don't mind the hay). Perhaps you'll even find a haunted hayride to really get you into the fall mode!

9. Jump into leaves

Raking up leaves is no fun, but it can be if you use them for your enjoyment! Although it may seem like little kids are the ones jumping in the leaves, it's a great way to have fun without spending any money.

10. Run on a cool, fall morning

Running in the summer ends with me being drenched in sweat and feeling extremely dehydrated. Running on a fall morning is one of the greatest feelings; you can run for fun or do a fall-themed race!

Fall doesn't have to be full of pumpkin spice lattes to be fun! There are other options, and I definitely know that I will be participating in them.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
