Fall Activities to do During a Pandemic

It's finally fall. Perfect weather for wearing a hoodie and sweats without dying of a heat stroke or somehow still freezing. But this sweater weather season is looking a little different in comparison to other years. Due to the pandemic, there are strict and necessary precautions in place at many attractions, limiting the number of guests, with some places even upping the price of admission due to the summer loss. But never fear, for I am here to give you some ideas (both at home and abroad) to make the most of this season!

Staying Home:

If going out isn't your thing, or you want to bring the outside in, then this is the spot for you!

  • Watch a Disney classic Halloweentown
  • Ubereats some Pumpkin Spice Lattes (from Starbucks, Dunkin, or your local coffee shop!)
  • Open up the windows and let some cool air in (and not from the air conditioner!)
  • Bake the Pillsbury sugar cookies



  • Rewatch the Harry Potter movies (warning: you might end up on harry potter TicTok but it's worth it)
  • Try your hand in baking or making some fall-flavored treats!

Going Out:

  • Go out and do some apple picking or a pumpkin patch! (My favorite is Demarest Farms in New Jersey!)
  • Take a nice brisk walk! (We could all use it after this quarantine)
  • Go get lost in a corn maze!
  • The Bronx Zoo has Boo at the Zoo from October 1st till November 1st where you can wear costumes and take part in fall activities!



Remember, whether you go out to do apple picking or just for a walk to get a Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, make sure you wear a mask and stay socially distant!

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
