16 Fall Activities To Do In Boston

Fall is coming (slowly but surely)! The summer air is leaving us but that only means sweater weather, colorful leaves, and forcing your friends to go apple picking with you. If you're a broke college kid like myself but want to soak up every insta-worthy fall activity possible, here are 16 fall things to do in Boston that aren't too costly.

1. Apple picking is the most fall-tastic thing you could do and there are plenty of orchards around Boston like Brooksby Farm in Peabody.

2. Say it with me... FREE BEER. Brewery tours (if you're 21+) are a great way to taste test Oktoberfest and pumpkin flavored beer. Sam Addams has free tours and Harpoon costs $5.


3. Head to the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston to see your favorite animals!

4. Check out the Museum of Fine Arts off the Green line. Student tickets are free.

5. To see the best *fall foliage* take the Orange Line to the Arnold Arboretum for a free self-guided tour.

6. Find your way through a corn maze in Danvers, Ipswich, and more.

7. Because Halloween is right around the corner, what's better than walking on a haunted Boston tour? They run into November but only at night (the scarier, the better).

8. Pick a pumpkin to carve at any of the neighboring patches in North Andover or Stow.

9. Obviously Salem is on the list. The entire town is extra spooky during October and you can visit the Salem Witch Museum to see everything you read about in The Crucible in 10th grade.

10. Rent a bike at any Hubway spot and ride around Boston or along the Charles river.

11. Go for a hike! I suggest Blue Hills because there's a spot you can see the whole Boston skyline.

12. Coolidge Corner Theatre's Halloween Horror Movie Marathon is an all day scary movie event for those who thrive off fear and adrenaline.

13. Halloween bar crawls are the best way to get your drink on while sporting your best costume.

14. Go to one of many pumpkin festivals in the Boston Common and the Seaport.

15. Travel back into the Renaissance era and visit King Richard's Faire.

16. Skim through your Pinterest feed for the best fall recipes and bake your little heart out.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
