13 Halloween Activities For People Who Hate Being Scared

1. Carve a Pumpkin

It´s only as scary as you make it. Granted, there are knives involved so be extra careful.


2. Binge on Fall Foods

Pumpkin spiced everything and apples everywhere; what more could you want?


3. DIY Crafts

As long as there's no eye of newt or tongue of viper involved, I'm all for it.


4. Watch a Halloween Movie

"Halloweentown" and "Hocus Pocus" are perfect for any season, to be honest.


5. Go Trick or Treating

You're dressed up so it's acceptable... right?


6. Go to a Halloween Dance

Especially if your school is in a city, there are usually plenty to choose from. Just watch out for the zombies, they might go straight for your brains.


7. Make a Costume

It´s even more fun when you get your entire friend group involved.


8. Decorate your House/Dorm/Apartment

You can go for the traditional look with lots of pumpkins and ghosts or go crazy with a theme like the Harry Potter one above.


9. Go Into the City

In October there are tons of fun fall and Halloween themed events taking place. For example, here are some that are going on in Boston this month. Just make sure you do your research and don't end up at a haunted house.


10. Make Some (Not-So) Haunted Treats

Whether it's witches brew or lady fingers, these creepy snacks are still wicked delicious.


11. Do Some Corny Fall Activities

Corn mazes and hay rides are super fun, especially when nothing is jumping out at you.


12. Go to a Halloween Party!

Or better yet, throw your own. Then all your crafting, decorating, and food get put to good use.


13. Stay Safe

In all seriousness, Halloween is amazing but the amount of crime also sky rockets. So go have a ton of fun but be sure to stay with a group of friends, always watch your drink, and beware of all the ghosts and ghouls.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
