It's that time of year again. Pumpkin spice, falling leaves, and scary movies to watch at night. It's always fun to eat all the candy you want and get a little spooked to kick off the holiday season.

With Halloween only days away, here are some things to give you the creeps and put you in that Halloween spirit.

1. College graduation

Nothing's scarier than the idea that you have to go out into the real world and start being an adult. I think I'll just stay a few more semesters...

2. Trump

Giphy

Just, in general.

He's a pretty scary dude, that's why so many people dress up as him for Halloween.

3. Our political climate in general

Giphy

It's spooky szn bitches. Also voting season.

4. Commitment

What if I change my mind?

A job, a partner, a house, really anything that means you have to devote yourself to is terrifying.

5. Having to pay rent

Having to pay for anything really.

6. Mondays

Giphy

Who wants to actually get out of bed and have to interact with people as a normal human being? No thanks.

7. Justin Bieber's facial hair

I wonder if the new J Biebs look will catch on like it did in 2009...

8. Trying to live up to everyone's expectations

The lower the expectations, the less disappointment.

Let's face it, there are terrifying things happening all the time, not just on Halloween.

So next time you sit down to watch a scary movie or go to a haunted house, remember the real fears of the world. There's nothing more scary than the world around you.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
