With Halloween just around the corner, everyone is getting into the spooky mood. This year, why not join in and have a little fun? There are so many Halloween activities to help get you in the mood. Here are a few:

1. Pumpkin Painting

I love pumpkin painting because you can do any design and have a pretty decoration around for a little bit before the pumpkin rots.

2. Go to a Corn Maze

They may be creepy, but they're super fun.

3. Make Spooky Caramel Apples

Caramel apples are such a good treat.

4. Have a Halloween Movie Marathon

Would it truly be Halloween without the horror classics or other nostalgic films like "Hocus Pocus"?

5. Have a Ghost Story Night

Gather a couple or a lot of friends and just spend the night eating snacks and telling each other ghost stories! It's really fun to get creative and scary with each other. Or you could spend the night finding the creepiest ghost stories and telling them to each other. And if you want to get real spooky, find a haunted area near you and go ghost-hunting. (Just don't break any laws)

6. Host a Costume Party

Costume parties are always fun and if you find you have the time and motivation to do it, then why not try hosting one? It could be a big party or it could just be a group of you and your friends getting together and having your own little costume fun.

7. Go to a Haunted House

Around Halloween, you're bound to find haunted houses at least somewhere near you. It'll be fun to take a group of friends with you and try to get through the house without getting spooked at least once.

8. Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin carving is one of the best signs that Halloween is here. This year, trying finding outrageous designs and try to recreate them with your friends.

9. Host a Murder Mystery Game

Ever heard of "Clue"? I'm sure most of you have, but for those who haven't, it's a game (and movie) centered around a mysterious murder and the others have to find clues to solve the mystery. Basically, it's "Whodunnit?" So, get some friends together and organize a faux murder mystery, I bet it would be super fun.

10. "Guess The Film" Game

Get some friends together for a game night and start the night with this. What you'll be doing is playing charades, except you'll be trying to act out classic (or modern) horror movies and seeing if your friends can guess them.

11. "Guess What's In The Box" Game

One last thing to do on this list is a classic activity. Amp this game up a bit and make it a spooky version. Get a simple box and put any object in there (objects that won't inflict pain or cause trouble, at least). For example, put spaghetti with meatball eyes (fake of course) or a skull in there to represent the Halloween fun and take turns trying to guess what's in the box. You can make it a competition and play for several rounds.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
