5 Of My Favorite Halloween Decorations

It is now the middle of October, meaning that we are halfway there. It is almost Halloween. When I think of Halloween, I think of scary movies, pumpkins, spiderwebs, haunted houses/mazes, trick or treating, candy and so much more.

My parents, especially my mother, loved to decorate the house for holidays. They did the absolute most for Halloween. We would have everything from tombstones to spiderwebs to the grudge standing in our yard. On top of everything, they had spooky sound effects playing while kids would trick or treat.

Now that I'm not home to enjoy the festivities, I wanted to do some slight aesthetic decorating in my dorm. My roommate and I went to Walmart during the last two or three weeks of September to get some festive fall and Halloween decorations for our room. We got some Halloween lights and the cutest small decorative pumpkins.

We were living the Halloween dream way before October hit. Now that we're approaching the middle of this month, here is a short list of some of my favorite things you can decorate with to feel the Halloween fantasy!

1. Pumpkins

When I think of fall or Halloween, I think of pumpkins. They can set the tone of any space whether they're scary, creative, or cute. You can carve, paint, or just leave them the way they are. Either way, it sets the fall mood.

2. Festive lights

The type of lighting you have can set any ambiance. You could decorate your space with colored lights to convey the holiday you'd like. During Halloween, they sell lights that are spooky shapes and colors.

3. Skeletons and spiders

Something I always see advertised for Halloween is skeletons, bones, spiders, and spiderwebs. You can even throw in bats, cats, and rats into the mix of things. You can make any of these cute, scary, or sophisticated.

4. Mannequins or figures

This is more geared to the outdoor decorations. You can either buy scary mannequins or dress any old doll in white clothing and add anything to it to make it creepy. Anything resembling the grudge, zombies, etc. will definitely elevate your Halloween game, especially if it's animatronic and motion-activated.

5. Tombstones

Tombstones can go inside or outside. It is more aesthetic when they're out indoors, but when they get put outside it can look spooky. All you have to do is put out some random limbs or bones and it will look scary. If it's inside it will be so festive and fun!

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.

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.
