15 Things That Are Scarier Than Halloween

123RF

What's scarier than Halloween? Let's start with these 15 things:

1. Midterms.

Need I say more?

2. When you hit the light switch and nothing happens.

And then your room is pitch black and everything is AWFUL AND IT TAKES SIX YEARS TO FIND THE FLASHLIGHT ON YOUR PHONE.

3. Losing a bug behind your bed.

AND ITS BIG AND SCARY AND CRAWLY AND ITS PROBABLY GOING TO EAT YOU!!

4. When you think there's another step but there really isn't.

And your heart stops for a horrifying second, and your brain thinks you're falling into an abyss.

5. "You have five minutes left."

We have literally ALL been there. You're taking a stressful exam, writing an essay, or just trying to figure out what that one word means, and then the teacher just.... ugh.

6. THAT ONE HORRIFYING EMOJI

Again, we all know what I'm talking about. The least used emoji ever because it's terrifying and basically pointless.

7. Wait- WHAT'S due tomorrow??

"For HOW much of our grade?!?!" And then no sleep. No sleep ever.

8. When you open your drawer and there are no more clean towels.

Every time. Every SINGLE time.

9. When you can't find your glasses.

How does this even happen? You're supposed to be wearing them to see. Where do they even go?!

10. A Hillary presidency.

While she isn't ideal, she isn't the worst. But is that really the logic we want to apply to the future of our country?

11. A Trump presidency.

I don't even want to think about how this could go wrong on so many levels. Corruption, immaturity, sexism & insitutionalized misogyny, need I continue?

12. When you get all cozy in bed and then you realize you have to pee.

EVERY TIME. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

13. When you're ready for october but outside it's July.

MAKE UP YOUR MIND, MOTHER NATURE. PLEASE.

14. When you drop your phone facedown on concrete.

Because your day already couldn't get any worse.

And finally.....

15. Clowns

Our worst nightmares are finally coming true- clowns roaming towns and college campuses like something out of a Stephen King novel. Lock your doors and plug in your night lights, friends -it's Halloween season once more!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

It's not always fun being fun-sized!

Appalachian State University National Writers Society

I'm the Short Friend. I've been the Short Friend since about the seventh grade. I'm the one who stands in the front of the photos, gets made fun of for their height, and still shops in the kids department.

This article is not for the Almost Short Friends, i.e. the 5'3" and 5'4" Friends. No no, this is for the Actually Short Friends, i.e. the Barely Scraping 5'1" and shorter Short Friends.

The Relatable Date

Don't deny it.

They talk to you like you're one of the guys, but you will NEVER EVER be included in "Bro" things

Even though you've heard the words, "Not you, a real girl" more times than you can count.

You need to caption almost every picture with a disclaimer that you aren't dating...

But at the same time, you never know whether or not to be offended when they say they'd never date you...

And your other friends are constantly telling you you were destined to be with each other.

You'd get all the girls if you were a boy because you walk them through how to get girls almost daily...

That being said, you have an opinion on EVERY girl they show you, and you aren't afraid to share it...

But they have opinions too, and that's why they'll be the first to tell you when a guy isn't treating you right... and then they'll do exactly the same thing to some girl a few days later...

And if they do happen to have a girl in their lives, she most likely hates you, because you know him better than she ever will...

But even after all that, you wouldn't trade them for the world.

No, I actually don't pay for my friends.

1. "You pay for your friends."

2. "All you do is party."

3. "You guys all look the same."

4. "You don't actually care about your Philanthropy."

5. "Bigs and littles are stupid/annoying."

6. "I would never want to be a part of that."

7. "You're wasting your money."

We get it — we're frustrated with you, too.

1. When they go out of their way to help you.

2. When they are cleaning up a section of the store.

3. When they deal with your children being heathens.

4. When they listen intently to your coupon problems.

5. When they ask you about opening a credit card or rewards card.

6. When you have to wait to get an item number or to talk to a manager.

It's not always fun being fun-sized!

1. Not wearing makeup is like stepping in a time machine

2. "Wow, how tall are you?!"

3. You don't realize how much you're craning your neck until you talk to someone as short as you.

4. Hugging your friends is just asking for a face full of boob for you and makeup on their shirt for them. Awkward.

5. You face retail discrimination
