October has finally arrived which means it's time to get pumped for Halloween! I'm sure most people can agree with this, but Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I look forward to it every year and you should to! Here are some reasons why you should get pumped for Halloween.
1. Trick-or-treating and getting candy.
Whether you're into sweet treats or chocolatey goodness, getting free candy is always a good thing. The fact that we have an entire holiday based around getting free candy is one of the beautiful things about our country.
2. Disney Halloween movies.
I'm talking 'The Nightmare Before Christmas', 'Hocus Pocus', the 'Halloweentown' Series, and all the other amazing Disney Halloween movies. Halloween is a great excuse to relive your childhood through Disney movies.
3. Horror movie marathons.
If you're not feeling Disney, there's always the scary route! Nothing says Halloween like a scary movie marathon! Horror movie marathons are so much fun, especially with friends. So invite some friends over, grab some candy, and get ready to jump in your seat.
4. Wearing costumes.
Costumes are so much fun! This is the one time a year when you can dress up as anything you want and it is completely acceptable! This is your time to shine as a sexy nurse or a zombie! Costumes just make the holiday all the more silly and fun.
5. It's the beginning of the holiday season.
The holiday season is the best time of year without a doubt and now it has finally arrived!
6. Autumn.
Fall is lit. There's hay rides, the changing of the leaves, pumpkin spice everything, it's just an all-around good time.
7. Parties.
Halloween parties are also very lit. Halloweekend is huge for us college students. I don't need to explain this one any further, parties are awesome and we all know it. So get pumped that Halloween parties are arriving!
8. Halloween cookies.

9. Decorations.
Your house, apartment, or dorm is no longer bland and lifeless. It's now covered in festive decorations! I love holiday decorations, maybe it's just me, but I think they're so much fun! Spiderwebs, skeletons, and jack o'lanterns all around is so festive and it only happens once a year!
10. Haunted houses.
Haunted houses are so much fun to go to with friends and it's not everyday that you can go to one. Halloween is the one time a year that you and your friends get to go somewhere scary and make a night out of it. It's so much fun to see you and your friends freak out over the zombie that popped out at you.
11. It's one of the best holidays!
I know this is an opinion, but it's true! Halloween is one of the most exciting and fun holidays. It kicks off the holiday season, you get free candy, there's parties, and you get to wear costumes. It doesn't get much better than that.
I hope everyone reading has an amazing Halloween and holiday season! Stay safe, have fun, and get pumped!
