7 Fun Fall Dates That Aren’t Just ‘Netflix & Chill’

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WVU chapter.

 

1.     Drive-In Movie – a drive-in movie gives you the chance to have more conversation than a regular movie because you’re in your own car and a lot more cuddling opportunities and who doesn’t love to cuddle.

2.     Apple/ Pumpkin Picking – I think the best part about this date is that you can get the homemade donuts they sell there and of course the cute pictures you and your boy can take picking the apples (so basic but always so cute).

3.     Football Game – get tickets for a football game and make a day out of it. Tailgate before hand and then enjoy the game together.

4.     Scary Movie Marathon – drive-in movies always win but if you just want some serious alone time in your own house with the heated blanket and some hot chocolate, scary movies are the way to go.

5.     Hayride – if you’ve never been you have to go! Just get a blanket and be prepared to cuddle up while you enjoy nature.

6.     Haunted House – personally, I’m afraid of everything but it was always comforting to go in with my boyfriend and have him be there incase I needed to scream or hold someone’s hand. Word of advice, even if you’re not afraid, just pretend because it’s always nice to be comforted by your favorite boy.

7.     Picnic – pick a day that’s not too chilly but not too hot either (otherwise it just isn’t enjoyable) and pack up both of your favorite snacks and drinks. Take him to both of your favorite spot where there aren’t too many people around and it will be the most relaxing and romantic date for the two of you 

 

I am originally from Westchester, New York. I came to WVU for my undergrad in Strategic Communications with an emphasis on Public Relations and a minor in Sports Communication. My involvment on campus includes blogging for Her Campus, a sister of Alpha Phi, the assistant director of the media team on the Mountaineer Maniacs executive board and lastly, an athletic communications intern with the WVU Athletic Communications office. I will be graduating in May of 2017 and I am looking forward to getting started with my future career in Journalism and Public Relations!
  I grew up in Charleston, West Virginia. Growing up here I knew there was a possibility of going to West Virginia University my entire life. Although I decided to start my college career at the University of Kentucky, those country roads led me back to WVU in the spring of my sophomore year. This was also the point when I decided to establish myself as a Broadcast Journalist student. Since this point I have strived to become the best possible journalist I can be. I am currently working as a weekend reporter for WDTV-Channel 5 in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Prior to receiving this position, I worked as an intern with WCHS-tv/FOX11, in the summer of 2014, where I learned critical editing, interviewing, writing, and speaking skills. I worked closely with anchors, reporters, editors, directors, producers, and even the web team. Aside from the television industry, I am the Campus Correspondent for the West Virginia University Chapter of the online entertainment magazine, Her Campus. Another position I currently hold is the Social Media Chair of WVU’s Radio Television Digital News Association Chapter. In the Fall of 2012, I became a sister of the Alpha Phi Fraternity, in which I held the position of ‘Big Sister Chairman.’ My other passions include horse back riding, scuba diving, being outdoors, and running. I am very adventurous and I try to stay well rounded. My goal in life is to live life to the fullest and be the best possible version of myself. My ultimate goal would be to earn a spot as a reporter/anchor for Fox News, New York. I plan to graduate in December of 2016 and look forward to my future.
