1. Make spooky baskets for someone.

Whether it's for your SO or your besties, make some spooky baskets this year! Fill one up with your friend's favorite snacks, fuzzy socks, gift cards or anything else they love! Let your friends know you appreciate them!

Football is such a traditional kick-off to fall! Try going to a few of your school's football games, you'll have so much fun, I promise!

3. Have a bonfire.

Bonfires are basically coined by fall, so grab some of your friends and take a little road trip to some camping grounds. Have a bonfire, roast some marshmallows, tell spooky stories and enjoy the fall weather!

4. Have a scary movie marathon.

5. Go to a drive-in.

On the note of scary movies, go to a drive in theater with blankets, pillows, snacks, friends and have good time!

Really set the tone for October by going to a haunted house, everyone loves the thrill.

7. Visit a pumpkin patch.

Go to a pumpkin patch and pick out two pumpkins! You and your friends can carve them in two different ways! Paint your pumpkin and decorate it for the spooky season, and you can carve a pumpkin for Halloween night!

8. Go apple picking.

Visit an apple orchard and pick some apples! It's a fun and chill activity, and you can get some fresh apples to make caramel apples with!

9. Go stargazing.

Gather you friends and go for a scenic drive in your city, go wherever there's less lights (and pollution) and find a good spot to look at the stars! You can combine this with a bonfire, if you want!

10. Decorate.

Update your dorm room decor with pumpkins, leaves, and any spooky decorations! Get some candles or wax melts that smell like fall.

11. Donate your clothes.

With the weather changing, you may find yourself wanting to change your wardrobe. If you are, donate any old clothes to your local thrift store or homeless shelters!

12. Go to a flea market or yard sale.

Since the weather is bearable, see if you can find some really cool items for an even better price at a flea market or yard sale!

13. Volunteer.

With fall break, three day weekends, and holiday breaks approaching, make some time to give back to your community. Volunteer at soup kitchens, participate in a marathon that raises money for a good cause, or find something that will really make a difference in your community.

14. Have a Friendsgiving.

Do a mini potluck before the actual holiday comes around, just to enjoy time with friends before everyone goes home for Thanksgiving.

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.
