16 cozy activities to add to your fall bucket list

SO SOMEBODY FINALLY LOOKED INTO IT, HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS YET? I MEAN, APPARENTLY NPR JUST DROPPED THIS LIST OF SIXTEEN COZY THINGS TO DO FOR FALL BECAUSE APPARENTLY CARVING A PUMPKIN IS JUST TOO BASIC FOR EVERYONE NOW! WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE I LITERALLY JUST BOUGHT A PUMPKIN CARVING KIT. SO NOW THEY ARE SUGGESTING WE WRITE GRATITUDE LETTERS OR EVEN BUILD ANCESTRAL ALTARS INSTEAD OF JUST STABBING A GOURD WITH A KITCHEN KNIFE LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE! I GUESS WE ARE ALL JUST SUPPOSED TO BE SPIRITUAL AND PROFOUND WHILE EATING CANDY CORN NOW. IT FEELS LIKE THE KIND OF LIST SOMEONE WRITES WHEN THEY HAVE NEVER ACTUALLY HAD A REAL JOB. ANYWAY I WILL BE FURIOUS ABOUT THIS TOMORROW.

RIGHT HERE IS WHERE IT GETS GOOD, PEOPLE ARE OUT HERE TRYING TO TELL US THAT CARVING PUMPKINS IS OUT AND MAKING ANCESTRAL ALTARS IS IN FOR FALL! LIKE NPR REALLY WENT THERE, TELLING US TO WRITE GRATITUDE LETTERS AND DO OTHER WEIRDLY WHOLESOME STUFF INSTEAD OF JUST EATING LEFTOVER HALLOWEEN CANDY IN THE DARK! IT IS HONESTLY KIND OF CONDESCENDING, LIKE WHO HAS THE TIME TO BE THIS MINDFUL IN OCTOBER? I WOULD RATHER JUST BE TRASHY AND STRESS EATING PIE. I SUPPOSE IF YOU ARE INTO MAKING YOUR ENTIRE LIFE AN AESTHETIC EVENT THEN THIS IS FOR YOU, BUT PERSONALLY, I AM JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE THE SEASON WITHOUT HAVING AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS OVER A GOURD. OK I AM GOING TO GO BE QUIET NOW.

NPR published a list of 16 fall activity suggestions that includes unconventional ideas like writing gratitude letters and making ancestral altars.
