There are lots of great things to look forward to after summer. Whether it be the cool weather or all the activities to do, they all involve the wonderful season of Autumn or as most like to call it, Fall.
The Crisp Weather and Leaves
Sleeping with your windows open and getting a cool breeze as you sleep is just one of the wonderful things that the fall brings. Another wonderful thing about the fall is the leaves changing into beautiful colors, red, orange, yellow and random colors in between colors are like rainbows dancing on the trees. Some may disagree and say that the crisp air means winter is coming but if you just appreciate fall as long as possible it won’t be as bad.
Halloween
A holiday where you can be whatever you want to be, what could be better? And if you are smart enough you go around and get candy and have it for the next few months. Lots of girls dress up in groups or you can even dress as a couple. You can even stay in the dorms, apartment, or house and hand out candy to kids that come by. Don’t forget to try Trail of Terror and even the CSU has a haunted house! Whatever you do, find a way to celebrate this fall holiday.
Boot Season
Flip flops are great and all but your summer pedicure is probably not looking as great as it did at the beginning of the summer. Hunters, UGGs, Sorrels, Doc Martins, Timberlands, Sperry’s, and many more have a great selection of fall and winter boots. And let me be the first to tell you, you need a good pair of boots for the weather that we have in Minnesota.
The Many Things to do
Haunted hayrides, apple orchards, and pumpkin patches, are some of the fun things that you can do during the Fall season. If you don’t have a boy toy to go with, it is just as cute to go with a bunch of girlfriends! You could go on a wagon hay ride, drink some fresh apple cider, and take some cute pictures. Also there is always a ton of fresh produce you can get at a local farmer’s market or orchards: like apples, squash, cauliflower, and broccoli.
Scents
If you haven’t bought yourself a WoodWick candle you are already doing it wrong. Lighting candles, buying yourself the perfect fall drink, and pretty much anything Apple or Pumpkin scented all smell amazing and are perfect for cuddling up with the windows open and watching a classic Halloween movie.
Decorating
Halloween, Thanksgiving, and then yes it is coming, Christmas are all good excuses to decorate your home! Target has some great deals in the $1 section for easy ways to decorate. It
is super easy to get into the spirit by just adding a couple pumpkins or any other sort of décor to your house!
