Michigan Fall Must-Do's

Happy first day of fall, y'all!

Now I may be a bit biased having lived in Michigan my entire life, but I must say that when it comes to fall, the midwest does it best! As the summer heat fades into that familiar, crisp air we all know and love, it only seems right to let those traditional, Michigan fall activities begin. Here are some of the ones that you won't want to miss this season.

Go pumpkin picking.

Nothing screams fall more than pumpkins, and beginning to see advertisements and signs popping up on every corner for your local pumpkin patch is undeniable proof that fall is officially in full swing. The mitten is jam-packed with an assortment of pumpkin patches all across the state! The timeless classic of searching up and down the rows of an endless sea of orange to bring home the biggest, roundest pumpkin never goes out of style.

Attend a Big Ten football game.

Living in Michigan, you are lucky enough to have TWO Big Ten football teams in your state (while of course, rooting for green and white is always the better option). Decking yourself out in your favorite team's colors and cheering their fight song as if your life depended on it is just another essential to the fall season.

Visit a haunted house.

For all the Halloween fanatics out there, you know that the season wouldn't be complete without paying money to have the life scared out of you! Michigan is home to a nationally recognized, four-story haunted attraction, Erebus, holding the Guinness World Record of the world's longest walk-through haunted attraction for four years! Whether or not you're brave enough to conquer a half-mile of frights, any haunted house is a staple to ringing in this spooky season.

Enjoy the changing leaves.

Taking a drive through the Michigan countryside while the leaves are changing is a magical experience. With the crisp air accompanied by the most vibrant yellows, oranges, and reds you have ever set your eyes on, it as if this scenery was pulled straight from a postcard. Being riddled with trees, the changing of the leaves can be admired from almost anywhere within the state - keep an eye out for the peaks of the color around the first and second weeks of October.

Grab some apple cider and fresh donuts.

Madelyn Darbonne

The most dynamic fall-duo. Without a doubt, one of the tastiest treats you can get your hands on this fall is apple cider accompanied by freshly baked donuts. Whether you take your cider hot or cold, and your donuts plain or cinnamon sugar, visiting the cider mill and indulging these two fan-favorites is always a hit during this time of year.

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.

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.

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.
