It's that time of year again! Spooky decorations, horror movies, and apple-bobbing season: Fall. Which means Halloween is almost here!

But, what if you're scheduled to work, or Halloween, like this year, happens to fall in the middle of the week. You just don't have the energy to party all weekend AND throughout the week. Or, you happen to be broke from the impending rent that will be due the day after you're supposed to party hard.

Especially when you're not a hardcore partier, you may find comfort in celebrating Halloween in a low-key way. Not everyone has the need to dress up scantily and drink away their livers.

Yeah, that's just not happening, is it? That's what I'm here for! Here is a list of ways to celebrate Halloween in a Low-Key fashion:

1. Horror Movie Marathon

With the new Saw sequel, Jigsaw coming to theaters this week, it's about time you rewatch the previous seven prequels! I declare a Sawathon!


2. Kid-Friendly Halloween Movie Marathon

Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown should always be shown on Holloween in 24-hour marathons, amirite?


3. Hit the Candy Sales

On November 1st, all Halloween candy goes on sale! It's time to stock up for the year (or if you have crappy self-control like me? stock up for the week).

4. Wear a Onesie Costume

Because who doesn't love being cozy and festive at the same time? Perfect for watching your favorite Halloween movies! You can check out Target's selection here.

5. Carve Pumpkins and Roast the Seeds

And we turn to Martha Stewart to have the perfect recipe for roasted pumpkin seeds!

6. Host a Craft Night

Who doesn't want to e a crafty witch?!


7. Read Scary Stories Around the CampfireWeather permitting, of course.

Are you Afraid of the Dark?!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
