Samantha Alerte & Christopher Lee

Fall is a favorite season for many people! From the changing colors of the leaves and crisp mornings to cozy nights and festive activities, there is so much to look forward to. But with so many things to do, how do we make the most of the season? That’s where we come in! We’ve put together the perfect Fall Bucket List to help you enjoy everything October has to offer.

We asked students, staff, and peers what they look forward to most during the fall season and came up with eight activities worth trying. Whether you prefer staying inside, enjoying the comfort of your home, or going outside in your favorite sweater, there is something for everyone!

8 Fall Bucket List Activities to Try This Fall

1. Go Pumpkin Picking

Picture yourself walking through a pumpkin patch on a crisp autumn afternoon, searching for the perfect pumpkin. Pumpkin picking is a great way to spend time with friends and family while enjoying the scenery and taking pictures. You can even bring your pumpkins home to decorate or carve!

2. Plan Your Halloween Costume

Halloween is right around the corner, making October the perfect time to plan your costume. Whether you want to dress as your favorite character, match with friends, or win a costume contest, planning ahead gives you more time to get creative and prepare for Halloween night.

3. Go on a Hayride

Hayrides are a simple and fun way to enjoy the beautiful fall scenery. Grab some friends, hop on a wagon, and take in the colorful leaves and cool weather. Some farms even offer nighttime hayrides, making the experience even more memorable.

4. Visit a Haunted House

If you enjoy being scared, October is the perfect month to visit a haunted house. Bring your friends and prepare for creepy decorations, dark rooms, and unexpected surprises. Whether you love horror or just want to try something different, haunted houses are a fun way to embrace the spooky side of fall.

5. Try Seasonal Drinks

As the weather gets colder, nothing beats having a warm drink in your hands. Pumpkin spice lattes and hot apple cider are popular fall favorites. Visit a coffee shop with friends to try different seasonal drinks, or make your own at home for a cozy autumn afternoon.

6. Take Aesthetic Fall Pictures

Fall is full of beautiful scenery, from colorful leaves to cozy outfits. Visit a park, take pictures of the autumn landscape, or capture memories with your friends. These pictures will give you something to look back on long after the season ends.

7. Enjoy Seasonal Treats

Fall is also the perfect time to enjoy seasonal foods and desserts. Apple cider donuts, pumpkin pie, cinnamon rolls, caramel apples, and apple pie are just a few treats to try. Visit a local bakery, attend a fall festival, or bake something at home with your family. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to enjoy the delicious flavors of the season!

8. Carve or Decorate Pumpkins

Once you’ve picked your pumpkins, it’s time to get creative! Carve a funny face, design something spooky, or challenge your friends to see who can make the most creative pumpkin. If carving isn’t your thing, try painting or decorating your pumpkins instead. Display your finished creations at home and show off your hard work!

Make the Most of Fall!

Fall only comes around once a year, so why not make the most of it? Whether you’re baking seasonal treats, visiting a haunted house, taking pictures with friends, or enjoying a cozy movie night at home, there are countless ways to make this season special. You don’t have to complete every activity on the list. Just pick a few that interest you, spend time with the people you care about, and enjoy everything fall has to offer. Embrace the cool weather, make new memories, and fall into autumn!
