Fall is here finally, but this season there's more than leaves just falling. Love is lingering in the air and the best way to win someone's heart over is taking them on a fun fall date. So much to do, in just one month here’s a few ideas to fill your October with that won’t break your budget.

1. Pumpkin patch/ Pumpkin carving

Pumpkins are the face of fall and luckily, they’re just about everywhere. The perfect inexpensive date this fall is to go and pick out your perfect pumpkin with the perfect person or pick each other’s.

2. Apple picking

Luckily most apple orchards have pumpkins as well, pick up your favorite fall fruits and make a day out of it.

3. Hayrides

From haunted to family fun, hayrides in the fall are a fun and quick getaway.

4. Haunted house

The scarier the better. Haunted houses are the perfect time to grab someone close and be scared together, or just laugh at the ridiculous actors.

5. Scary movie night in

Apple cider, "The Goonies" and chill? Grab some festive snacks and cuddle up to some good old Halloween themed movies.

6. Fall cooking

From caramelizing your apples to baking a good old fashioned pie, check out Pinterest for some amazing recopies and spend some quality time in the kitchen, then spend some time enjoying your masterpiece of course.

7. Goodwill/ costume hunting

Nothing’s better than a homemade costume, why not turn your costume shopping into a date? Find out what looks good on your partner, or what’s just flat out goofy on them.

8. "Boo" someone

Create a basket of Halloween goodies and ding dong ditch one of your friends with the surprise for them, leave them a sheet with a ghost on it that tells them they got booed and tell them to continue the tradition on.

9. Target dollar section

You can’t go wrong with visiting the Target dollar section if you’re a Halloween fan. The fun never stops between plastic pumpkins to Halloween candies and really anything spooky you can think of for just a dollar.

10. Rake leaves

Doing labor work on a date sounds boring? Nah raking leaves can easily be turned into a ton of fun. Create piles, jump in, throw leaves at each other and take pictures. Easy fun.

11. Fall photoshoot

This one’s easy and costs nothing. Take your girl or man to a place with lots of colorful leaves and snap some pics or surround yourself with bright orange pumpkins and make your partner take pictures for you. There are so many opportunities for nature to be your backdrop.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
