It is officially fall, so that means we need to get our basic on and find cute things to do. Here is a list of 31 things I recommend to this fall that are a must. You could do these things with friends, family members, a significant other, your dog, or even by yourself.
1. Pumpkin Carving/Painting– It’s spooky season, so that means Halloween! This means we need pumpkins to go with our spooky decor. Photo from
2. Watch a Football Game– It’s the best time to show your team or school spirit with people you love. The best part about going to games is meeting new people and tailgating.
3. Shopping for Cozy Outfits– Girls, this is for you! It’s time for you to get your warm sweaters and leggings out! This is the perfect time to go out and get some so you can stock up for the winter.
4. Sunsets/ Sunrise– During this time you can see some of the most beautiful sunsets or sunrises.
5. Fall Decorations– Make your house, dorm, or bedroom look fun and cute by decorating for fall with things like fake leaves, pumpkins, and more!

11.Hayride– This one is for the couples; take a ride through the countryside and enjoy nature while snuggling up to keep warm.
