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

It’s that time of year again! Pumpkin carving contests, hot apple cider, haunted houses, and pumpkin pie are only some of the super fun things that you can do to enjoy the greatest season of the year. Here at HCXU, we compiled some fun (and delicious) fall activities that you and your friends can do to get off campus and enjoy this cool weather.
