2020 has been nothing any of us could have imagined, but that doesn't mean it has to ruin what you want to do this autumn. Just like for the spring and summer, there will have to be some changes in what we can do this fall - but that doesn't mean they can't be fun.

Road trip around your town to see the changing leaves.

There are so many places around that have the most beautiful fall leaves. Roadtrip somewhere you've never been before and watch as the leaves change the more you drive and the sun hits them differently with each turn you take.

Create DIY fall decorations with your roomies.

Not artsy? Totally fine. Draw your best hand turkey and frame them (see if your friends who don't live there judge your work or silently hide their embarrassment for you and your roommates). Or, be extravagant and collect supplies to make your own fall wreath for your front door!

Have a Halloween movie night with you and your friends.

A simple relaxed night to stay in with your friends and watch all of your childhood favorites, or daunting horror movies (if you're into that).

Enjoy homemade fall drinks and snacks.

Host a fall party and make your own fall punch or spiked cider along with Halloween trail mix or pies and bread (yum!).

Build a bonfire.

Gather up your friends, put on your favorite flannel and timberlands, and get cozy with your friends! You can go old school too and share scary stories around the fire.

Host a Halloween costume contest.

Not just who is the best, but whose is the funniest or most creative? People might have less ambition to really try with their costumes this year, so host something that will make them want to dress up!

Have a fall cook test.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
