I absolutely hate Halloween. And I know that I am not the only one. Halloween is one of those made up holidays that was invented by some stupid millionaire who just wanted to make some more money. Yes, I know that it derives from the Day of the Dead, but come on people... it is the sole reason that Party City is still in business. So of the many reasons that I hate Halloween, these are the top 8:

1. The pressure of coming up with a costume. For weeks, all your friends talk about is what you will all dress up as. For weeks, everyone will argue about it. For weeks, you stress out about if your costume is good enough.

2. Do you wear a sexy costume or a funny costume? There will always be two types of girls. I will always go with an oversized t-shirt and call it a costume. Your friends and everyone else will always judge you.

3. You gain SO much weight. Do you really think I have the will power to say no to all that candy?

4. TO MANY PEOPLE. Social anxiety does not go well with Halloween.

5. I am not made of money. I am a broke college student. I can't buy 4 $50 costumes. Halloween is one day, not a week. Don't throw parties every night for a week and expect me to have a new fabulous costume each night.

6. Stop scaring me. Want to have a real scare? Think about election day... that's scary. Not you in a vampire costume.

7. The fake spider webs don't make your house look cool. Your house just looks stupid. I don't even want to know how much time you wasted putting up those decorations.

8. Everyone hates you for hating Halloween. Sorry but I'm not sorry for not liking a fake holiday.

In the words of the wisest person ever: "I hate Halloween. I hate dressing up. I hate - I wear wigs, makeup, costumes every day. Halloween is like, my least favorite holiday." -Amy Poehler
