3. Get spooked by the Eastern State Penitentiary: Terror Behind the Walls
-
- The Eastern State Penitentiary is located at: 2027 Fairmount Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19130 and is a top attraction around the Halloween season. Each Halloween the already haunted prison, built back in 1851, turns the prison into a fright fest. With 6 different themed wards of the prison, some including the “Infirmary” and the “Blood Yard”, you are almost guaranteed to scream. They even give you the option if you. would like to be pulled or grabbed by the facility actors for an extra scare.
“I think it’s definitely more worth it if you choose to get grabbed by the workers,” said sophomore marketing major Emely Taveras. If getting scared is a priority for you to get in the fall spirit, the Eastern State Penitentiary is definitely a must.
4. Try Starbucks new seasonal drinks
-
- Having a delicious fall festive drink in your hand is an essential to get ready for fall. Starbucks has just recently came out with their brand new “Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew”. The new beverage includes Starbuck’s original cold brew, flavored with vanilla and then topped off with a pumpkin cream cold foam made from real pumpkin. Their new drink has definitely been a hit for most, but if the cold brew sounds too complicated or complex, don’t worry they still have their original, and fan favorite, the PSL. The pumpkin spice latte is back for its 16th year at Starbucks, and due to popular demand, it does not look like it’s leaving anytime soon.
5. Put away your summer clothes and get out your sweaters and boots!
-
- With fall occurring within the next week, the temperature will begin dropping as fast as the leaves fall from the trees. This meaning we can begin putting away all our our shorts and tank tops, and begin to take out our favorite sweaters, sweatshirts and boots to prepare ourselves. You do not want to be stuck in your summer wardrobe once the temperatures begin to drop to the 50’s and below.
