Whether you are returning home, traveling to an exotic paradise, or staying right here on campus, here are five fall-themed ideas about how to spend your well-deserved free time.
1. Festive Nails
Want to spice things up this fall? Try painting your nails with a festive theme, such as pumpkins or ghosts. Everyone will be impressed!
2. Pumpkin Carving
Is it really Fall if you don’t carve a pumpkin? There is no better way to embrace the fall season than by going to a pumpkin patch with friends and family. Choose the biggest pumpkins you can find and rush home to give them some personality. You can make them look scary or funny- it’s up to you!
3. Apples, Apples, & More Apples!
Put on some warm pajamas and make it a relaxing game night. Play Apples to Apples with your girlfriends while sipping hot apple cider and munching on homemade caramel apples! Recipe for that last thing here.
4. Movie Marathon
Get in the Halloween mood by having an overnight movie marathon with your best friends. Put on a scary movie, like Halloween or The Texas Chain Saw Masssacre. Don’t enjoy horror movies? Then watch the classic Halloween movies, such as It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and Beetlejuice.
5. Bonfire
There is nothing more fun than sitting in front of a warm fire with your closest friends, so make it a priority to have a bonfire party! However, it can’t be complete without marshmallow roasting, S’more making, and ghost story telling, so be prepared with some stories that will give your friends nightmares!
