Halloween is getting closer and closer. If you're anything like me, you're going to want to take advantage of spooky season before it's gone. What better way is there to celebrate the best time of year than watching a few movies? Here are some essentials that will bring your watch party from ordinary to spooky in no time.

Picking the right movies

This is obviously one of the most important parts of planning a movie night. You might think this part will be easy because you just need to pick some Halloween movies. The thing is, there are so many different sub-genres of Halloween movies. Do you want scary movies? Feel-good movies? Classic movies? Make sure to pick something you (and anyone else you'll be watching with) will enjoy. My go to is probably the Halloweentown series or Twitches.

Snacks

This is one of my favorite parts! There are so many cute Halloween themed snacks and desserts out there. The possibilities are endless. Having something to snack on during the movie is great, especially when it matches the theme of the movie.

Decorations

After you figure out where you're going to be watching the movie, you can now start making it spooky! Again, you can go as all-out or simple as you want with this. My go-to is always dimmed lights, pumpkins, candles, and a spooky snack bar.

Activities

Even the best movie watchers have trouble sitting down for hours on end. To keep yourself or your fellow viewers entertained, have a couple of things to do in between movies or while watching. This doesn't have to be super complicated! Painting mini pumpkins, wearing costumes, playing a Halloween playlist, or enjoying a spooky themed game can all help bring the energy back up after a long party.

Just a quick note: If you plan on doing this with friends please be mindful of COVID-19 to keep you and those you love safe. Also, if you want to have a movie marathon with your friends but can't see them in person, a Netflix watch party is just as fun. Have fun and stay safe!

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.

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.
