Do what you think will be best for you, not based on how it looks to colleges. If you can’t find a class to take, then think what you can do with that time. To be honest, a fall study hall is gold - that’s scheduled time for your college essay writing (or do homework or study for an exam or practice a presentation).

fwiw, when my daughter had an unscheduled period her senior year, she became a teacher aide.
