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.

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.
