The crisp air and changing leaves make even the simplest outings feel special, whether it is walking through a park or stopping by a cozy café for a warm drink.

Many Saint students said that Fall is all about the spooky side of the season. Maiya Gutierrez says her favorite fall activity is going to Knott’s Scary Farm with her friends. “It makes me enjoy getting scared,” she says, adding that the shared scares and laughter make the experience even more fun and a bonding experience. For students like Maiya, haunted attractions are a highlight of the season. From haunted mazes to horror movie marathons, the excitement of being scared together creates unforgettable memories. Some students also mentioned going to local pumpkin patches that turn spooky at night or decorating their houses with cobwebs and lights to get into the Halloween spirit.
Others find comfort in the slower, cozier moments that come with cooler weather. Micheal Young-Bowers says, “The weather is kind of cold, which makes it perfect to be indoors and nice and cozy with your loved ones.” Many enjoy spending evenings baking cookies, sipping apple cider, or watching their favorite movies under a blanket. Fall is also a time for traditions like making s’mores around a firepit or cooking homemade soup while the wind blows outside. For some, it is a peaceful break from busy school days and sports seasons, offering a chance to recharge and reconnect.
Students around campus also shared that they look forward to fall fashion and food. Sweaters, flannels, and fuzzy socks make the season feel even more comfortable. Pumpkin spice, caramel apples, and fresh-baked pies fill kitchens and cafes with sweet smells that remind people of home. Some students said they enjoy attending fall festivals and local fairs where they can try seasonal foods, listen to live music, and spend time with friends outdoors.
Whether it’s the thrill of haunted attractions or the comfort of a warm drink on a chilly evening, fall offers countless ways to connect and create lasting memories. The season reminds everyone that sometimes, the best moments are the simple ones, shared with the people who make you feel warm, even when the weather isn’t.
