Queue the pumpkin spice lattes and Instagram posts. The leaves are falling, and the air is crisp with the changing of the season. Break out your flannels, (and sweaters, and boots and scarves) So embrace the Fall season and grab some friends for some fun!
1. Go pumpkin picking at a pumpkin patch
How can you get any more Fall-y than this? Pick up some cute baby ones to decorate your dorm or home! There's something special about going to pumpkin patches, and this is the time to go!
2. Hayrides and haunted attractions
Along with pumpkin patches, take a ride on a hayride! Sure the straw sticks to you like glue, but is it really fall if you haven't been on a one before! Haunted houses are also popular, but it's more fun to go with a group of people. Sometimes Haunted attractions are a little corny (haha see what I did there) but with great friends it's always fun.
3. Go apple picking at orchard near you
Apple picking is one of those activities that is so underrated! Pick your own apples for your pies, wander around the orchard and embrace it! Plus, it can make a great date idea!
4. Take a hike or walk (fresh air is good for the soul!)
The air is crisp, it's time to finally take a hike without getting way too hot! Walk through your local trails or research some hiking paths near your area.
5. Paint/carve pumpkins
Since the pumpkin patch, you have a bunch of pumpkins just sitting around waiting to be decorated. Funny, or scary, or poorly carved, it doesn't matter! Make it a whole event by printing out templates for you and your friends!
6. Go bobbing for apples
Alright so this might sound a little childish, but hey it can be hilarious to watch your friends struggle to get that one apple they've been after, and recording it can be even better.
7. Make fall themed food
i.e. pumpkin flavored everything
8. Watch a game of football or get some friends to join you to play
Football seems to be a popular sport to watch during the fall and if you're not much of a football fan, make your own rules and get outside to play!
9. Collect leaves-- and then jump in them!
A favorite Fall activity and wallet friendly too! Raking up leaves from your yard can be tiresome, so before you bag them up, be a kid and jump in them once-- or five times. But who's counting, right?
10. Break out the candles
Nothing beats coming home to the scents of Fall! Pumpkin and warm spices are guaranteed to get you in that Fall mood!
11. The season for Chili and soups have arrived
Relax on a day off with some homemade chili or soup. You can pack some up and take to friends too!
12. Scary movies
Yep, scary movies are a must for Fall. Challenge yourself to watch a different movie each night! Make some bets with friends about what's going to happen, or sit with a pillow in front of your face like I do.
13. Open the windows
Let the colder air in, its good for the soul.
14. Cozy up with a big blanket and read a new book
Can you say lazy day? Because these are the best, especially when you have a hectic schedule it can be hard to find time to relax. Spend some time cuddled up in a big blanket with a new book. What's better than that?
15. Fall cleaning
Change of the season means changing your wardrobe. Instead of putting your summer clothes away, go through them and get rid of the ones that you won’t wear again, are too small, or you think is plain ugly now.
16. Fall decorating
Pretty self explanatory but to make it even more fun, make it a friendly competition to see who can decorate the best.
17. Picnics
Pack up a blanket and go have a picnic. Even if it's right outside and on your lawn, it's in the spirit of Fall!
18. Bonfires
Can you smell the s’mores? Because I can, and can’t wait for the first bonfire of the season!
19. Goosebumps marathons
Put on some good old freaky shows, maybe while you're waiting for your apple pie to bake, and enjoy the nostalgic feeling.
20. Friendsgiving
Take a day to get the gang together to celebrate your friendship!
