Being as it is finally Fall, I figured it would be a great idea to create a list of fun activities for your friends and family to do throughout the season. These activities can be done during any time of the season or at a Halloween party or as a fun countdown to Halloween!

1. Pin the Tail on the Cat

A cute spin off to the classic Pin the Tail on the Donkey, Pin the Tail on the Black Cat is perfect for all ages.


2. Halloween Bingo

Let's face it, playing regular Bingo can get a little boring. This Halloween themed Bingo will liven things up with cute images of monsters, treats, and symbols associated to Halloween.


3. Apple Bobbing

Of course you can't go wrong with bobbing for apples. A classic and fun activity, challenging for even the most experienced Halloween-ers.


4. Mystery Body Parts

A gross yet exciting activity to do in celebration of Halloween is the Mystery Body Parts Game. A person reaches inside a bucket and tries to guess what body part is inside the bucket. Of course, different types of food are used to represent these parts. But by all means you could use actual body parts if you're that dedicated. Just make sure you get permission first.


5. Quick Costume Challenge

An exciting Halloween-themed challenge for kids to do is the Quick Costume Challenge. How you play is by placing a large pile of costume pieces in the center of the floor. Each person has one minute to collect items of clothing and put together the most clever costume they can imagine.


6. Guess the Number

A common activity done is guessing how many pieces of one item is in a jar. A Halloween-spin on this activity could be to use candy corn or pumpkin seeds as the item in the jar. The person who guesses the closest number to the actual amount in the jar wins the jar.


7. Pumpkin Carving Challenge

Another Halloween challenge fun for older kids and adults is the Pumpkin Carving Challenge. Each person has their own pumpkin and carving utensils and has one minute to carve a pumpkin. The winner with the best-looking pumpkin gets a bag of goodies.


8. Pumpkin Smash

Of course, after the failure of the Pumpkin Carving Challenge, an exhilarating event everyone can join in on is the Great Pumpkin Smash. Placing all of the pumpkins outside in the yard of driveway, people can use bats, hammers or their hands and smash up the pumpkins.


I hope this list of ideas has got you all excited for Halloween! And if you're as crazy about Halloween as I am, you've probably already started planning these activities for the following month! Halloween can't come soon enough!

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.

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.
