Halloween is on a Tuesday this year, so that means most of us have class the next day. Or if you’re like me and have a midterm the next day, you’re planning on staying in and studying the entire night. Or maybe you went out the weekend before and feel like staying in on the Halloween day, but still want to celebrate in some way. Whatever the case, here are some ways to spend your Halloween day.

1. Watch a Halloween movie

Put on a movie while you’re doing homework or invite some friends over for popcorn, candy and Disney Halloween movies, like Halloweentown, Hocus Pocus and Twitches. If you’re down to actually get scared, watch some horror movies: Insidious, Annabelle, etc. Just make sure you have some friends around for when you start hearing voices.

2. Buy candy

Candy gets less expensive the later you buy it. Wait until the day after Halloween to search through all of the candy bags, now on sale for a low price.

3. Pass out candy

This is a great way to make friends with your floormates. Put a sign up on your door asking them to knock for candy as they pass by.

4. DIY Halloween Crafts

Make spooky crafts to decorate for the rest of the month, or get ahead for next year. Do a quick search on Pinterest on how to make bats out of toilet paper rolls, or ghosts out of Q-tips.

5. Bake Halloween goodies!

Spend your evening making cookies, cupcakes, or brownies. Make sure to decorate them for Halloween!

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
