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.

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.

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.

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.
