15 Fun Things To Do This Fall In Atchison, KS

As of September 22, it is official fall! I just can't help it, I really like fall. There's just something about fall that needs a bucket list. I am totally aware that this article has a very "basic" subject, but I don't really feel bad about it. So here is a bucket list of fun fall activities.

1. Go to Applefest in Weston

Head down to Weston, Missouri this weekend for fun, food, cool booths and of course apples.

2. Make Caramel Apples

3. Have a bonfire

4. Go to the cider mill

Louisburg is about an hour and a half south of Atchison and makes a super fun day trip. Let me tell you, their apple cider donuts are to die for!

5. Visit the farmers market

There is a super cute farmers market every Saturday from 8 to 12 and Wednesday from 2:30 to 5:30 in downtown Atchison!

6. Have a Halloweentown movie marathon

These were the best movies! Why not bring them back with a little movie marathon?

7. Buy sunflowers to spice up your room

8. Take photos with friends in the beautiful fall weather

9. Make hot chocolate on the stove


There is something about homemade hot chocolate that you just can't beat

10. Have a scarf trade with your friends

If you're like me, you have a thousand scarves but only seem to wear one. This is a great way to spice up your fall wardrobe with a little something borrowed!

11. Go to a corn maze

You're never too old to race your friends through a corn maze.

12. Go to Oktoberfest and try every booth

Benedictine's Oktoberfest is October 7! Try to go to every booth, not just the pretzels this year!

13. Go to a pumpkin patch


This one is really basic, but so much more fun that buying pumpkins at Walmart.

14. Read a book for fun

Fall is the perfect time to pick up a book and read just for fun!

15. Go stargazing

Head to the river, State Lake, Abbeyland or the lookout and take a minute to look at the stars. Atchison is full of great places to stargaze!

Go, be basic and try out this bucket list while you're at it!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
