7 Reasons Why I Don't Like Halloween

While I love seeing the little kids in their cute little costumes, that's not enough to make this an enjoyable holiday.

7 Reasons Why I Don't Like Halloween
Emily Ann Gemma

Growing up, Halloween was great. My mom got my little sister and I cute little costumes: some included Winnie The Pooh, a Notre Dame cheerleader, and one year she handmade a beautiful Belle costume. But, as I've grown up I keep finding reasons not to like this holiday.

1. I hate dressing up

Some girls decide this is the time to wear whatever they want, or apparently hardly anything at all. It's also cold and any costume I choose I have to cover up with a jacket anyway.

2. It's creepy

This Halloween especially, I am NOT dealing with all this clown madness!

3. It can be dangerous

With all the kids out trick-or-treating it's pedophile central, which freaks me out.

4. People take advantage

It's sickening to me that people would put razor blades in popcorn balls for innocent children to bite into. These people use Halloween as a reason to hurt others.

5. I don't do haunted houses

Some people enjoy the rush of scary creatures popping out at you, but since my legs give out when I get scared, haunted houses do nothing but hurt my butt and raise my anxiety.

6. Trick-or-treating was always awkward to me.

I never like talking to strangers let alone going up to their front door asking for candy.

7. Halloween breeds pranks

This holiday used to be a simple holiday for families to go trick-or-treating, now it is a reckless holiday filled with illegal activity and pranks.

While I love seeing the little kids in their cute little costumes, I still do not like Halloween!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
