Top Ten Things We’re Excited for This Fall

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bryant chapter.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!  Fall is here.  And although we’ll miss the heat, beach days, and carefree feelings of summer, we’re ready for crisper air and colorful trees.  We’ve been waiting all year for this – here are the top ten things we’re most excited for this fall:
 
1. Foliage
 
 
We’re lucky to be in New England, collegiettes!  Our neck of the woods has some of the most beautiful scenery this season. 
 
2. Fall Clothes
 
 
Leggings – we’ve missed you!  We aren’t sad about trading in our flip-flops and rompers for our boots and comfy cardigans.
 
3. Apple Picking
 
 
Is it really fall if you didn’t go apple picking?  Whether you go for the apples or for the apple cider donuts, apple picking better be on your Fall Bucket List!
 
4. Homemade Pies
 
 
Put those apples you picked to good use!  Pies – pumpkin, apple, and blueberry – are the ultimate fall comfort food.
 
5. Pumpkin Carving
 
 
Apples aren’t the only thing in season.  Pumpkin carving makes a great date and will get you inspired for Halloween!
 
6. Corn mazes and haunted hayrides
 
 
You might not have done either of these things in years, but the anticipation makes this such a fun activity and date idea!
 
7. Halloween Movies
 
 
Halloweentown and Hocus Pocus marathons anyone?
 
8. Fairs
 
 
Funnel cake.  Need we say more?
 
9. Tailgating
 
 
Whether it’s your college football game or a nostalgic high school game, tailgating is the best way to catch up with friends and enjoy some football.
 
10. Pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING
 
 
Coffee and donuts and spice, OH MY!  ‘Tis the season of pumpkin-flavored EVERYTHING.
