​​​​​​Decorate

fake cobwebs, lights, streamers, skeletons, pumpkins, you name it- any and all decorations are very well appreciated.

 Go get your favorite pumpkin spiced drink

Giphy

It's that time of year again: pumpkin spiced everything. Whether it's a latte, cider, ale, or anything in between, now's the time.

Carve pumpkins

Giphy

Get out your carving tools and pick out your design! And if you're feeling a little crazy, you could even make it a jack-o-lantern!

Roast pumpkin seeds

Giphy

After you've carved your pumpkin, there's nothing better to do with all the seeds than to roast 'em! Super simple and super yummy!

 Hay ride

Giphy

Bundle up and grab some friends! If you're really feeling the Halloween vibes, a haunted hay ride never fails to set in the spookies!

Make your friends a Halloween basket

Giphy

Put anything from candy to a few good halloween movies in there, and no matter what it is, there's no doubt it'll brighten up their day

Watch Hocus Pocus

Giphy

Speaking of Halloween movies..... this one is a "must-watch" around Halloween time

Go costume shopping

Giphy

Or even make your own! You can also coordinate a group costume with friends or family, and have a costume making party!

Go Candy shopping

Giphy

Now's the time to stock up for trick-or-treaters!

Make a wreath

Giphy

Now it's really starting to feel like fall

 Make sure you're caught up on every American Horror Story episode

Giphy

Halloween is all about creepy, and no show does creepy better than AHS

 Visit a haunted house

Giphy

Grab some good friends and see who gets the most scared!

Make pumpkin pie

Giphy

Is it really October if you don't make pumpkin pie?

 Go to a pumpkin patch

Giphy

It's basically mandatory

Go on a drive and look at all the leaves changing

Giphy

Make a good playlist and hit the road! Even grab some friends to join you too, and go look at all the leaves while they last.

Drink cider

Giphy

Lots of it. You can even do a coffee-shop-hop and go around your town to various coffee shops, trying to find the best cider.

go to a Corn Maze

Giphy

Divide your friends into teams and see who gets out first!

Apple picking

Giphy

t really just isn't fall until you've done this as well

Jump in a leaf pile

Giphy

Cause it's fall and, well, why not

Tell scary stories

Giphy

Gather some friends and see who's got the scariest story.... and who gets the most scared.


After you've done all this.... it's Christmas time. Get ready and get spirited.

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.

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
