Fall is one of the most fun seasons, in my opinion at least, and this is mainly because there are so many things to do! And if you're feeling stumped and want to make sure you don't miss out on the awesome fall activities and places to visit , here are just a few of my favorites in NEPA:

1. Roba's Family Farms

I mean obviously.. Pumpkins, hay rides, pig races, and even pumpkin cannons?! Nothing beats that.

2. Jim Thorpe Fall Foliage Festival

Besides being an awesome alliteration, this festival has cool vendors with everything from scarves to elaborate decorations, shops inside victorian homes with vintage clothes and items to buy, and of course an amazing view of the foliage from atop a gorgeous town.

3. Quiet Valley's Harvest Festival

Seriously, this is one of the coolest festivals I've ever been to. It pretty much transports you back to civil war times with its reenactments, displays of blacksmithing, weaving, and it even has horse drawn carriage rides! Not to mention all of the amazing foods and vendors there. (I highly suggest getting the apple dumplings or the apple cider because they're amazing.)

4. Applefest

From antique cars to anything apple, this festival has it all and over 300+ vendors!

5. Hike to the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania

I've mentioned this area as a place to visit during the spring as well, but I don't think anything will beat its fall foliage. The view is incredible.

6. Visit some of the best waterfalls

Bushkill Falls is an example, and during autumn, the waterfalls look even more beautiful. (If you think that's even possible).

7. Go to some haunted houses.

Some of my favorite sin the area are Horror Hall, Dracula's Forest, and Reaper's Revenge but there are a lot more that I haven't even been to yet.

8. Dorney's Halloween Haunt Nights

Dorney sets up a bunch of haunted houses all around its park, and each has a unique theme.

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.
