10 Things You Must Do Before Fall Ends
Sara Lewis

With summer coming to an end, that only means one thing-- fall is here, and it's time to get in the mood. Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. From Halloween to football season there's so much to do, so here's the best bucket list for the fall season.

1. Go to a haunted houseĀ 

Haunted

Halloween is a big part of fall, so why not go all out and go to a haunted house? Head to a haunted house or just a spooky place to get into the spirit of Halloween.

2. Pick out a pumpkinĀ 

Going to a pumpkin patch and picking out your favorite pumpkin with your family or friends is a great way to spend a fall day. Spend the rest of the day by letting your inner artist out by carving or painting your pumpkin.

3. Make your own Halloween costume

Costume

Choosing a Halloween costume is fun, but sometimes it can be a bit boring selecting from the rack. Get creative and pick a unique Halloween costume that you can make yourself. Bonus points for coordinating group costumes with your friends.

4. Grab a coffee and take a long walk

Fall

Fall is a beautiful season, with all the vibrant colors and different smells. Grab a coffee and take a long walk to admire all the color of the leaves before it gets too cold outside.

5. Have a bonfire

Gather up your friends and roast some s'mores while keeping warm by the fire. You can trade ghost stories to get more into the Halloween spirit.

6. Go to a football tailgate and game

Since I attend a large football fanatic school, fall means that it's time to pull out your tailgating gear. Eat some great food and get ready for the game with your friends. Then watch some great football and root for your team.

7. Host a Halloween party

Halloween

Throw your own Halloween party this year! You can decorate your place any way you want. Have a costume contest, and make up your own on theme games.

8. Watch some spooky movies

Watching Halloween movies

If you loved being scared, fall is the perfect time to watch some horror movies (especially Halloween themed ones). However, if you're like me and you don't like watching horror movies, you can still watch some classic Halloween movies like "Hocus Pocus" or "The Nightmare Before Christmas."

9. Walk through a corn maze

Fall Corn Maze

Getting lost in a corn maze was a part of my childhood that I looked forward to every year. I loved venturing through it, trying to find various spots. Take your family and friends with you and see how fast you can complete the maze.

10. Go fall shopping

Girl Shopping

Since it's time to trade in your shorts and tank tops for sweaters, you may as well have fun with it, and treat yourself to some new clothes. Buy some stylish fall outfits that are perfect for all the other fall activities you have planned.

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.

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.

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.
