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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
