Sweater weather is here, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay in your self-made blanket burrito. Instead, grab your crush and take the fun outside the classroom! Use these ideas to spend a little more time with your favorite person and get in the fall spirit.

Go to a Concert
Bond over your favorite artists, or discover new ones, by attending a concert together. Check the venues in your area to see who might be coming through town and swing by the box office to pick up tickets. An alternative is planning a listening party with your favorite singer’s new album (1D or JB, anyone?) with a group of friends to bring the concert straight to you.
Make Fall Treats
If you prefer staying in, grab some pumpkin puree at your local supermarket and print out some fall recipes to get in the spirit from the comfort of your own kitchen. Some snacks you can try to make are puppy chow, pumpkin truffles, and apple cider donuts.
Have a Campfire
A campfire means warmth, guitar jam sessions, and… s’mores! Could there be anything better? If it isn’t possible to set up a campfire where you are, enjoy your s’mores with the help of your microwave. It won’t have that toasty campfire touch, but we can guarantee it’ll still be delicious.
Host Friendsgiving
If you’re too nervous to ask your crush to hang out alone, get a group of your closest friends and plan a Friendsgiving dinner! You can cook together all day, or go potluck style and have each person prepare a dish at home to bring to the table. Think about it: you get Thanksgiving dinner twice and a night with great friends, including your crush. Just play every Friends‘ Friendsgiving episode all day and you’re set!
Go on a Scavenger Hunt
Fall brings yellow leaves, fresh pinecones, and lots of holiday decorations. Think of everything you love about this season and put it into an entertaining game for you and your crush. Make teams with friends, or play one-on-one against your crush to see who can complete the scavenger hunt first. To add a little more competition, decide on a small prize for the winner!
Go Ice Skating
Embrace the weather and enjoy an outdoor rink before it gets even colder. If you’re in the New York area, check out Bryant Park or Rockefeller Center. In California? Try Irvine Spectrum’s OC Chill. Wherever you are, you can latch onto your crush when you’re about to fall! We couldn’t think of a more perfect excuse to hold on and not let go!
