Fun Things To Do For Halloween

Halloween is coming up, people. It's next Monday, which means this weekend is: yes, you guessed it; Halloweekend. And while Halloween is actually only on one day, it is celebrated the entire weekend (and sometimes even the entire weekend before too). You don't just have to go Trick or Treating in order to celebrate Halloween; there are plenty of options:

Watch Halloween-themed movies

Halloween (as well as the weekend before) is a great time to watch Halloween movies. I, personally, get too scared with really scary movies (no joke-I'm 21 years old but I'll have nightmares for weeks), but I do love to watch the classic not-too-scary Halloween-themed movies (like Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown).

Pass out (and eat) candy


Just because you're too old to go out and ask strangers for candy doesn't mean it isn't fun to pass out candy in the comfort of your own home. You can sit on the couch all night (watching the halloween-themed movies), and have a perfect excuse to eat all the extra candy when you only have four trick-or-treaters. And the best part is, you get to see all of the cute kids in their costumes.

Dress up with your significant other or your friends


There is nothing more fun on Halloween (except for the staying home and eating candy thing) than to coordinate a costume with your friend or your significant other (even if you decide last minute what you're going to be). Just imagine how cute your instagram posts from the night will be.

Throw a Halloween Party

Yea, sure, you can show off your costume at a bar, but what's even more fun is throwing your own party that you can invite all your friends to. You don't have to deal with cover charges, strangers, or going out in the cold while you go from bar to bar. Plus, you get to decorate and buy halloween-themed treats and drinks!

Carve pumpkins



What is a better time to carve pumpkins than the weekend before Halloween? The answer is: there's no better time. Carve a bunch of different designs that you can put on your front porch to look festive for Halloween night!

Go trick-or-treating (with kids)

Yes you're too old to go trick-or-treating (I promise, you can't get away with it). But if you have nieces and nephews, or even little cousins, you can get away with going along for the walk, seeing them in their costumes, and maybe tricking them into giving you some of their candy afterwards.

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.
