It’s that time of year again– the leaves are beginning to change, local
bakeries are full of pumpkin-flavored everything, and the scent of
crackling campfires is in the air. With autumn in full swing, you may
be asking yourself: Where can I go to savor this season and fully
embrace the fall vibes?
Well, you’ve come to the right place! This quiz will help you find
the perfect hangout spot for you and your friends this fall. If you end up
hooked on pumpkin spice lattes, you can thank me later.

whatever life throws at me.

D) Take my mind off it and try to unwind by watching a good

Results
Mostly As: Coffee lover, you should stop by Starbucks or Dunkin’
for a pumpkin spice latte—of course—or another fall-flavored drink.
Warm or iced, these drinks are delicious treats that are only around for a
limited time.
Mostly Bs: You’re scared of nothing! Stop by a local haunted house
(Bates Motel, Eastern State Penitentiary, and Pennhurst Asylum are personal
favorites) to push your courage to the limit.
Mostly Cs: I bet fall is your favorite season, isn’t it? For all the
wholesome autumn vibes, go pumpkin picking with friends or family.
Linvilla, Highland, and Maple Acres are just a few local farms I would
11/10 recommend.
Mostly Ds: You appreciate a rainy day and a warm cup of tea, and
fall is the perfect time for both. Head to Ludington Library and
curl up with a good book (maybe a murder mystery?) to
enjoy the cozy fall weather.
Mostly Es: Surprise, surprise—you love nature no
matter the season. To appreciate the beautiful
fall foliage and the crisp autumn
air, why not go for a run or a relaxing
stroll on the Haverford College nature
trail?
