I get it, Halloween is fun. It's probably the only day of the year when it is not only acceptable but expected, to dress up in a ridiculous costume and eat candy all night long. I really don't have anything personal against Halloween, I've just never been the biggest fan of it.

BUT that doesn't mean I don't still love fall and October and all of the wonderful things it has to offer. I've listed here some things that you can do this October that don't involve any spooks or scares!

Dress up in your coziest fall clothes.

Even though it's probably still 85 degrees outside.

Just go ahead and start listening to Christmas music now.

Tbh I don't normally support premature Christmas jams, but it's not like there's any good Halloween music out there.

Go to the movies... and not watch a scary movie.

Yes, they do in fact exist.

Visit a pumpkin patch.

At the very least, get a pic for the Insta.

Drink a pumpkin spice latte.

Like literally just sit in a coffee shop and appreciate the fact that fall is finally here.

Extra points if you're by a window and can watch the leaves fall while listening to folk music.

Bake something yummy.

Burn one of your Bath and Body Works candles while you're at it for extra yummy smells!

Watch playoff baseball.

Watch Halloweentown (AKA the only Halloween movie you'll ever get me to watch).

 Smell every fall-scented candle at Bath and Body Works.

Instagram

Find a fair or fall festival near you.

Think corn dogs and ferris wheels. The more fried food, the better!

Use the money you aren't spending on Halloween costumes to buy more pumpkins.

Have a (non-scary) movie marathon at home!

Harry Potter, Back to the Future, Twilight, the possibilities are endless! Grab your coziest blankets and your best friends and get ready for a fall day well spent.

Go to a corn maze.

A not scary one, of course.

 Stock up on Halloween candy for yourself.

 Go to a Farmer's market.

Instagram

This is a great thing to do more often than just October, but it's a proven fact that everything is just more exciting when pumpkins are involved.

 Watch Friday Night Lights.

The show, the movie, or an actual Friday night football game. Any and all are acceptable.

 Go thrift shopping to add to your fall sweater collection.

Or just raid your grandpa's closet.

 Make one of those cute autumn wreaths for your front door.

Instagram

Or another fun craft to show just how much you love fall.

 Skip out on the Halloween parties and drink more pumpkin spice lattes instead.

 Enjoy October for what it is - truly one of the best times of the year.

If you are one of those people who considers Halloween a part of "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year," I hope you don't take this article personally. Maybe you never realized how truly versatile this time of year is!

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.
