A Scaredy-Cat At Fright Fest

My first time going to Fright Fest at Six Flags Great Adventure.

A Scaredy-Cat At Fright Fest
Jessica Heady

On October 19th, I attended Fright Fest for the very first time. I never had any intentions of ever going to Fright Fest, either! I am a bit of a scaredy cat when it comes to the spooky side of Halloween, or the spooky side of anything, really. I do not like haunted houses, mazes, or hayrides. I HATE scary movies; I would rather watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" or "Hocus Pocus" than a horror movie any day!

But for some reason, when my cousins asked me to go to Fright Fest with them, I said yes. I know! I even shocked myself! As it got closer and closer to October 19th, I was getting more nervous; I almost backed out, too, but I didn't, and I am sure glad of it. Fright Fest was one of the coolest, most exciting experiences I have ever had at Great Adventure!

Some of the makeup and costumes for the ghouls is much to be appreciated. Those who play these zombies and what not are very DEAD-icated (get it... because they're zombies) to their roles! The shows, such as "Unleashed" and "Blood Drums", are amazing! "Deadman's Party" was my favorite show. Zombies, ghouls, and monsters alike sing and dance to a medley of songs that are Halloween related and/or have a theme of death; songs such as "Thriller", "Calling all the Monsters", or "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody."

With elements of lasers and fire, it was high energy and lots of fun! But once you're out in the park, that is when the light-hearted entertainment stops. Everywhere you turn, there is a monster waiting to scare you. I was on guard the whole time! I was not letting anyone sneak up on me. At first, I was really scared, but after a while of walking around the park, it just became really fun.

I enjoyed the thrill of potentially getting spooked as well as having a good laugh at others getting scared. My cousins and I even tried to scare the zombies and killer clowns -- they don't scare easily... or at all for that matter. Nonetheless, I had a fantastic time at Fright Fest! I will definitely be attending next Halloween season.

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.
