8 Things I'd Rather Do With My Boyfriend On Halloween Than Get Drunk At A Party

Personal Photo

Every year, the question of "what am I going to do for Halloween?" lingers over everyone's head, as if you have to do something.

If you're not dressed like a slutty mouse and getting crunk at frat boy Chad's rager, it's like Halloween never happens and you're a total loser. Well, I'm here to tell you that Halloween isn't just mixed drinks and parties you won't remember the next day 'cause you blacked out in the middle of bobbing for apples.

This Halloween, I'm especially lucky because I get to share it with my boyfriend. I'll admit, I've never been a party girl, but even now that I'm happily cuffed, I couldn't imagine dragging us both to a place where we stand around awkwardly for an hour, complaining about our costumes pinching us in places they shouldn't and then going home buzzed with an insane throb in our heads.

So, if you're like me, you'll find that these things are way more fulfilling than getting drunk at some random party.

1. Carve pumpkins together

There's no better activity on Halloween than having a pumpkin carving contest while casually drinking pumpkin beer. Can anyone say, yes please?

2. Go apple picking

Not to mention, this is the PRIME time to make a mini photoshoot happen

3. Bake yummy apple treats

Don't let those apples go to waste! Apple crisp, caramel apples, apple pies, the recipes are endless!

4. Watch scary movies together

Another reason to cuddle even closer? Why not?

5. Go to a haunted house

While I'm not the biggest fan of paying for people to scare the poop outta me, I'd much rather do that than blackout at a party.

6. Take our nieces/nephews/younger siblings trick-or-treating

Little kids in batman and Cinderella costumes could not be any cuter, and when they're not looking, we can sneak some of their candy.

7. Build a fort and tell scary stories

Whoever tells the scariest story gets to eat the most candy. I don't make the rules, it's just law!

8. Literally anything else

No matter what you do, it's still Halloween and you're supposed to have a little extra fun than normal. So, if you really want to, go out to that party, eat that large cheese pizza by yourself, or carve pumpkins with your boyfriend. Whatever you do, enjoy this Halloween and be safe!

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Fibonacci Sequence Examples: 7 Beautiful Instances In Nature

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
