Enjoying A Perfectly Spooky And Pumpkin Spiced October, As Told By Dog Gifs

The dogs are irrelevant, but they sure do make October look interesting!

Wake up and smell the cider! It's October! Whether you're mentally prepared or not, winter is coming. In the meantime, you may as well enjoy yourself and partake in as many fall festivities as possible!

1. Going to the apple orchard.

One second you're picking apples, and the next second you're laying on the ground surrounded by all the ones you started eating. It's not a joke, it's a fact.

2. Eating your first fresh donut of the season.

Everyone poses on Instagram with their first cinnamon sugar donut of the season. All the cutest dogs are doing it, so you better be too.

3. Pumpkin picking.

Nothing is better than finding THE pumpkin, also known as YOUR pumpkin. Not everyone's reaction includes barking and skipping around it as if you struck gold, but then again, it would be awesome if yours was.

4. Going to haunted houses.

Haunted houses aren't for everyone. In fact, the best part about them is they have the ability to make even the toughest turn into the biggest babies. Not sure how you'd react? Better make plans this weekend!

5. Football several days a week.

There is no argument about this one. Football is football, and ball is life. This is also an excuse to eat a large order of boneless wings and drink way more beers than necessary (you're welcome).

6. Playing in the leaves.

No one is too old for a little romp around the yard in the freshly-raked pile of leaves. Except if your dad is the one who just did all the manual labor ... because in that case, run really fast.

7. Carving pumpkins.

Chances are you've done this at least once in your life. And if you haven't, I assure you that nothing is more fun than nearly cutting your fingers off and then smelling like pumpkin guts for like a week. Trust me, it's part of the October experience.

8. Watching scary movies.

If you're a scaredy cat, October just isn't for you. It's nearly impossible to get by without at least one person asking you to watch a ghost possess a child or teenagers get stalked by a man in a mask. Again, it's all part of the experience.

9. Finding a costume that fits you perfectly.

Whether you had your heart set on Waldo, an inflatable t-rex or a sexy maid, there's a costume out there for everyone. My best advice to you is to recognize your best assets and then rock what you've got!

10. Trick-Or-Treating.

Halloween is cool because you can be 50 years old in a costume and still be given buckets of free candy. Then again, it's also terrible for the waistline.

11. Getting chocolate wasted.

THIS IS EVERYONE'S FAVORITE! Consuming the candy-equivalent to the amount of marijuana it takes to get Willy Nelson high. One second you're downing handfuls of Reese's cups, and the next you're laying on the floor passed out and confused as to what day it is. Embrace the experience.

12. Dreading winter weather.

After all the fun and games and candy-highs comes the worst part: realizing the snow is on it's way. Do yourself a solid favor and live it up as if you'll die tomorrow (or dress as a zombie, whichever works).

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
