"Imagine you were to go back to school this fall, but instead of taking a typical class like Accounting 101 or Psychology, you signed up for journaling, knitting, or yoga. That's the idea behind TikTok's "fall curriculum" trend, which is all about creating your ideal school schedule - and then enjoying it all season long. On the app, people are sharing their fall curricula, and each one is so cozy and inspiring."
"@arabellatouchstone is also diving into a fall curriculum, which she sees as a " mix of a fall bucket list" and "things she's been meaning to practice or learn." Hers includes things like figuring out how to French braid her hair, knitting a sweater, and completing a puzzle. "While this curriculum leans more " grandma hobby" and less toward academics, it still has just as many benefits."
""It's a great way for me to get off my phone this fall and use my brain, but not in a way that's stressful or overwhelming," she said in the viral clip. Do you miss being a student? Do you need an excuse to buy a new notebook and pens? Here's what to know about this trend, plus how to create your ideal curriculum."
The fall curriculum trend encourages people to design season‑long, student‑style schedules focused on hobbies and skill‑building rather than formal classes. Creators assemble curricula including journaling, knitting, yoga, feng shui study, painting, reading TBR lists, French braiding, sweater knitting, and puzzles. Participants treat the season like a semester—taking notes, setting homework, and adopting cafe study routines for a dark‑academia vibe. The approach promotes offline engagement, gentle structure, creative practice, and low‑pressure learning. Many creators describe it as a way to use the brain without stress, reconnect with tactile hobbies, and replace screen time with deliberate, restorative activities.
