Halloween is one of the best holidays to have fun with friends and family! You can make spooky foods and drinks, putting up all the scary and creepy decoration and, of course, you can't forget all the scary movies. But there are so many activities college students can do even if they are on a budget.

1. Zombie Laser Tag

A popular attraction this year is zombie laser tag. This is a great way to get a group of friends together and hunt down some zombies. This has the creepy feel to it and makes it fun when you are with friends. It's the perfect late-night activity. And when you are in a group, can be a budget-friendly activity.

2. Escape Rooms

You can do this activity with friends or strangers. Escape rooms have become very popular in the last few years. Some think it's because of the popular "Saw" films. Finding clues under pressure, teaming up with friends or strangers to escape a locked room… all the makings of a great Halloween experience. Another budget-friendly activity with friends.

3. Horror Movie Marathon

Horror movies are a staple for the Halloween season, which is the whole month of October. Others would say that the Halloween season starts in September. If you don't like watching scary movies by yourself, then invite some friends over for a movie marathon, and watch some of the greats like:

1. Pyscho 7. Nightmare on Elm Street

2. The Halloween Series 8. Carrie

3. IT the original and remake 9. Hocus Pocus

4. Sweeney Todd 10. Beetlejuice

5. The Omen 11. The Ring

6. Zodiac 12. American Psycho

4. Halloween Parties

Everyone loves dressing up and going to Halloween parties, and most colleges will throw some of the best ones. So, grab a group of friends and go to as many Halloween parties as you can. Be safe and responsible, but have fun with your friends.

5. Trick or Treating

If you want to get in-touch with your inner child, then dress up, grab some friends or even a younger sibling and go out trick or treating. This can just be fun walking around the neighborhood dressed up and being a kid again, and making memories with friends and family. And you can make a costume on a budget.

6. Scary Treats

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.

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.
