October entertainment is finally here

October is finally here. As I am getting back into my normal “school routine,” I am realizing the need to prioritize my time to make sure that I accomplish everything necessary. That includes all the fall activities that I have waited to do all year long.  

The following is a list of the top things I would like to do this October. It was so hard to choose what to include because everything is so exciting. 

Somehow, I managed to narrow it down to my top five favorite fall activities which I would highly recommend everyone to do this October as well. 

Carving pumpkins is always a highlight. Sitting on the front steps with the pumpkin at your feet, cutting the pumpkin top off at just the right angle, and digging through the slimy pumpkin guts to get all the seeds out to save for later.  

 I would just like to declare that apple orchards are the move this and every other fall. First of all, there is not a better apple than a fresh one picked yourself and for some odd reason, apple picking is just so much fun. 

One of the best parts is that it is a super fun place to go with anyone, your family, friends, or a date.  

Haunted houses are killer fun. There is nothing more fun than being persuaded by your friends that going in the back of the line will not be that bad until you are actually crying from being so scared by the stabbed clown in back of you.  

Watching Halloweentown is an ‘oldie but a goodie’ that I have to watch every single year with my friends. Or, if Halloweentown is not for you, sit down with some popcorn and watch another Halloween movie. Nothing puts you in the Halloween spirit more than that.  

Baking is my all-time favorite thing to do in October. The absolute best part is that you can either choose to give these creations away or you can practice good selfcare and keep the whole pan to yourself. 

Prioritize these and your other fall bucket list ideas and you will have a great October.
