The healthy tree leaves are slowly transforming colors and the crisp breeze is sweeping through town. Fall is fully in effect, which means the bucket list for the homey season needs to be checked off by embarking on fall-themed adventures. The girls at HerCampus detail their perfect Autumn day and what activities they annually partake in for maximum fun in the Fall.

movie marathon

Cinema-lover Zoe grabs the remote to binge watch comfort movies! “My favorite fall activity is watching Halloween movies. I love nothing more that cuddling up with a hot chocolate and finding some scary things to watch.”

Nature walks

Outdoorsy gal Chaeli basks in the fresh air to cherish the Fall months. “I love nature walking when it’s cold outside and looking at all the pretty trees. It is so mesmerizing looking at them in the middle of changing colors.”

Cozy Reading Sesh

Allison reverts to her natural tendency of loving to read during the Autumn weekends. “My favorite fall activity is to open up all the windows in my room, put on my comfiest clothes, and read a good book while listening to the wind rustle the leaves outside and smelling the cool, crisp air. It puts me in such an amazing mood, I wish I could do it all the time.”

bake night

Gabby breaks out her cooking skills to warm up in the chilly season. “I can’t pick just one- my favorite fall activities are going to a pumpkin patch with friends, having a Halloween movie night, making spooky themed cookies, and drinking fun fall drinks.”

Leaf frollic

For Abigail, the Autumn weather brings a sense of magical nostalgia from her childhood. “Growing up when I took the bus to school, I always loved walking back home when it was fall because all of the leaves in my neighborhood would turn into a different color and it would look so beautiful. I would play a game of catching the leaves falling from the trees when it got windy, and if I caught one a wish would come true and if I didn’t, the wish wouldn’t come true.”

Interior Designing

Crafty Brooke gets creative with her decorating to commence the Fall season. “The last lagging months of every year bring a special opportunity to revamp your living space to represent the season. In October, I indulge in all the Halloween spooky decorations, like dangling bats, glowing pumpkins, or ghastly cat decals. In November, the dĂ©cor turns to muted beige colors and comfy throw blankets to celebrate Thanksgiving.”
