10 Fun Fall Activities

Fall is here and it's time to have some fun! Here are some ideas for you!

1. Go to a pumpkin patch

There's nothing quite like picking your own pumpkin! So, go to a pumpkin patch near you and search for the one you want to take home. At many patches, they have other activities set up for people of all ages to enjoy. Take advantage of this simple but fun trip for the whole family!

2. Make pie

There are so many options! Pumpkin, apple, chocolate, pecan, and so much more! If it's too cold to go outside or you need something to bring to a party, gather in the kitchen and bake! This can be a fun activity to do alone or with your friends and family!

3. Build a scarecrow

This less common activity can actually be super easy and fun! Plus, it provides you with a decoration to put in your yard or on your porch! Here is a link to a DIY scarecrow: http://www.diynetwork.com/how-to/make-and-decorate...

4. Eat candy

Fall means Halloween. And Halloween means CANDY! You don't have to wait for kids to go trick-or-treating to eat some, though. Go ahead and splurge a little (or a lot) and enjoy some candy for yourself! Although you might outgrow going door to door, you never outgrow going to the store!

5. Attend a football game

Some might refer to this season not as fall but as football season! A football game creates a fun environment for all! Get out and support your local and/or your favorite teams! Take a few hours to be loud, smile, and enjoy time with other fans just like you!

6. Carve pumpkins

When you get back from the pumpkin patch, there's only one thing left to do - carve the pumpkin you picked out! This is your chance to be creative! You can give your pumpkin a face, carve out your favorite logo or character, or anything else your heart desires! When you're done carving, stick a candle or light in it so that everyone can see your creation at night!

7. Make warm drinks

Hot chocolate, apple cider, pumpkin spice, and so much more! You don't have to go buy expensive cups of your favorite warm drinks. They are all easy to make at home! Here are some links to good recipes:

8. Watch scary movies

One of the best things about this season is the mood and market for scary movies. Different ones are released every year but it's also nice to go back and rewatch some oldies but goodies! Make sure you grab a friend... it can be extra scary alone.

9. Play in the leaves

You're never too old to rake up some leaves into a pile and then jump right into it and make a mess of your yard! Playing in leaves is one activity that will never become mundane. It's natures free entertainment!

10. Make your own Halloween costume

Another chance to get creative - make your own Halloween costume! You can go solo or grab a friend and come up with a fun idea together! There are cheaper ways to enjoy your dream costume, using some resources you already have. Don't be afraid to try something new as you brainstorm and create!

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
