Halloween Horror Marathon<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_3652433280377309811gmail-p1\">Every year, the Coolidge Corner Theatre puts on a<span class=\"m_3652433280377309811gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>12 hour marathon of horror movies. They don\u2019t reveal the movie titles until you\u2019re in your seat, so go see if you\u2019re brave enough and check it out!<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_3652433280377309811gmail-p1\">2. Visit Salem<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_3652433280377309811gmail-p1\">It wouldn\u2019t be a New England fall without a trip to Massachusetts\u2019 ~spookiest~ town. Plus, a trip to the Salem Witch Museum will put anyone in the Halloween spirit.<span>\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"m_3652433280377309811gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment3397\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment3397\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2017\/10\/giphy-1-1.gif\" alt=\"My favorite Salem\" width=\"460\" height=\"340\" class=\" wp-image-3397\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment3397\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My favorite Salem<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"m_3652433280377309811gmail-p1\">3. BU Pumpkin Drop<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_3652433280377309811gmail-p1\">A classic BU fall tradition is the annual pumpkin drop. The BU Physics Department drop dozens of crazy pumpkins (think paint-filled and dipped in dry ice) from the roof of the Metcalf Science Center. Who knew science was actually cool (and in the fall spirit)?<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_3652433280377309811gmail-p1\">4. Go Apple Picking<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_3652433280377309811gmail-p1\">Sure, you could do this anywhere, but apple picking is a staple fun fall activity. Plus, this year BU had an event where they bussed students out to an apple orchard!<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_3652433280377309811gmail-p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2017\/10\/giphy-2-1.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"460\" height=\"259\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-3398\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_3652433280377309811gmail-p1\">5. Head of the Charles<\/p>\n<p class=\"m_3652433280377309811gmail-p1\">Is may have passed already, but the Head of the Charles Regatta is one of my favorite fall events. Crew is a quintessential New England sport, and it really is exciting to watch (and the Brooks Brother\u2019s tent).<span class=\"m_3652433280377309811gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_3652433280377309811gmail-p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/comblog\/files\/2017\/10\/snoopy.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"461\" height=\"344\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-3399\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The leaves are changing color, pumpkins spice is back, so you know what that means\u2026It\u2019s finally fall!
