I wrote before about 25 different reasons why Fall is overall the best season to come around. However, this is to give you some motivation to get up and go out and about and enjoy what is to come. Who doesn't enjoy the cool breeze that runs across our skin and the soundly crunch of the ever-changing leaves beneath our feet?
Online classes can be frustrating and we all deserve a break whether it's for a movie marathon or a relaxing hike down a scenic trail. It is time we balance out the school work we are given with some personal time that is much needed for our health. And what is a better way of doing that than using this season as a kickstart.
Here are three activities you can do to really improve your quality of life this Autumn and help forget the extremely complicated and difficult year of 2020 that we have had to endure.
1. Carve Pumpkins

It gives you a chance to enjoy a relaxing night inside with some music or Halloween movies in the background. With carving pumpkins, you can get as creative as you want without anyone judging. This can give you a reason to buy those spooky themed cookies that we all know and love. It's easy to make a fun night out of carving pumpkins and a movie marathon.
2. Go to an Orchard

It gives you the chance to pick some fresh apples for any of your desires whether it is apple pie, apple cider, or just a quick bite. It's also quite a scenic place, photoshoot anyone? You can easily get some lovely shots of you and your friends or of the beautiful apple trees themselves. And if you can, a similar place is a pumpkin patch. A pumpkin patch allows you to pick that perfect one to carve.
3. Bake Bake Bake!

Baking in Autumn gives you endless chances to figure out what you like and don’t like. The foods can range from pumpkin and nut roll to apple turnovers and lemon squares. The list goes on and on and quite literally is endless. Anything your heart desires, I'm sure you can pick out some pumpkins, apples, and lemons to create some wonderful creations of pies and tarts.
