How to Have a Totally Spooky, But Not so Spooky Halloween
FreePik

I'm the one weird person in the group that loves everything that comes with fall and Halloween, but I don't like Halloween. Let me explain...I love baking cookies and dressing up and carving pumpkins. I don't love haunted houses and being scared and the general uneasiness that Halloween brings. Also, I don't even know if it counts as an actual holiday, but that's an entirely different story. However, I love that it's the first time since Easter I can decorate my house to its fullest extent.

That being said, if you're like me and you like Halloween things, but not Halloween as an actual scary holiday, here are some things you can do to celebrate!

1.) Indulge in All. Things. PUMPKIN.


2.) Bake Some Pillsbury Cookies

The penultimate cookie of the Halloween season. Guarantee you'll end up eating the dough before you actually bake the cookies. Or you'll eat all of the cookies in one sitting. Either way, you know you look forward to Halloween because of these bad boys.

3.) Decorate!

Decorations don't have to be scary to be considered Halloween. Either go to Michael's and get all of the cute Halloween crafts, or start a Pinterest board of homemade Halloween decorations.

4.) Make the Perfect Costume

Personally, I love looking at cute DIY costume ideas. Plus, making something unique for Halloween instead of the 20 cat costumes you'll see is certainly going to make you stand out. Double plus, making the costume is half the fun.

5.) Throw a movie night

"Hocus Pocus" and all the "Halloweentown" movies? Throw in some tasty Halloween treats and crafts? Sign me up.

Get out there and get crafty, kids.

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.

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.
