Make your fall break eventful this year

Make your fall break eventful this year

Instead of spending fall break just lying in bed, use the short break to spend time with friends and family enjoying nature.

School can get super overwhelming, especially around the time of midterms. It is halfway ways to get outside and appreciate nature.

Fall break through the semester and it seems like the work keeps piling on. Just at the peak of it all, we get a nice little break.

Fall break is not long, probably not nearly as long as some of us wish it would be, but it is just enough time to clear our heads and relax from all of the stress of the semester. The air is starting to get colder, and the leaves are beginning to change color, so clearly, it is not time for the beach. However, there are tons of fun activities to do with friends and family during your few days off.

Pumpkin picking and hayrides are always fun. Fall is a beautiful time of year, and these are fun

is a great opportunity to make new memories with friends.

Even though we have a few weeks until Halloween, it seems as if as soon as October starts, so does Halloween. So why not go to a haunted house or on a haunted hayride? The horrifying adventures always prove to be a good time, and you will definitely have some stories to tell afterward.

Baking is my favorite thing to do during the fall season. With it being acceptable to make pumpkin-flavored everything, the delicious possibilities are endless. Now that it is not too hot outside to have the oven on all day, it is the perfect time to bake some snacks to bring back to school for you, and if you are nice, your roommates.

According to Dr. Romina Barros, a researcher at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, breaks in studies are essential in order to do well in school. Spend that break doing something fun.
