6 Things You Shouldn't Do In A Haunted House
Gianna Zulli and Rob Sieger

I have worked in the haunt industry for six years as an actor. And although I have seen my fair share of terrible patrons, there are 10 definite things that tick off every actor. So this Halloween season, please make sure not to do these things, and do not be "that customer".

1. Don't have your phone out.

Every haunted attraction has the no cellphone rule. If you have your phone out recording the entire attraction, you're ruining the experience for the rest of the patrons in your group. The flash is also very blinding to the actors. Since our eyes have been adjusted to work in the dark, that quick flash can temporarily blind us, causing us to possibly injure ourselves. We also don't want to take selfies with you inside the attraction.

2. Don't wear flipflops.

If the back of your shoe gets stepped on, you might fall or break your shoe. The attraction might also may be muddy, causing you to fall or get stuck.

3. Don't backtalk the actors.

You may think it's funny, but you're making yourself look like an asshole in front of a lot of people. Usually, the actors have comebacks that will set you straight, and you will look like a complete idiot in front of everyone.

4. Don't hit or touch the actors.

At some haunted attractions, actors may be allowed to touch you. But please do not touch or hit tus back. We will identify you, you will be kicked out, you will not get a refund, and charges can be pressed in some cases.

5. Do not smoke in the attractions.

Smoking creates a fire hazard, especially if you are on a hayride since the hay can catch fire very easily. You could also potentially burn fellow patrons or employees.

6. Do not drink in the attraction or come completely wasted.

You will disrupt fellow patrons, employees, and ruin the experience for others. Don't be that person.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
