7 Reasons Why I Don't Like Halloween

While I love seeing the little kids in their cute little costumes, that's not enough to make this an enjoyable holiday.

7 Reasons Why I Don't Like Halloween
Emily Ann Gemma

Growing up, Halloween was great. My mom got my little sister and I cute little costumes: some included Winnie The Pooh, a Notre Dame cheerleader, and one year she handmade a beautiful Belle costume. But, as I've grown up I keep finding reasons not to like this holiday.

1. I hate dressing up

Some girls decide this is the time to wear whatever they want, or apparently hardly anything at all. It's also cold and any costume I choose I have to cover up with a jacket anyway.

2. It's creepy

This Halloween especially, I am NOT dealing with all this clown madness!

3. It can be dangerous

With all the kids out trick-or-treating it's pedophile central, which freaks me out.

4. People take advantage

It's sickening to me that people would put razor blades in popcorn balls for innocent children to bite into. These people use Halloween as a reason to hurt others.

5. I don't do haunted houses

Some people enjoy the rush of scary creatures popping out at you, but since my legs give out when I get scared, haunted houses do nothing but hurt my butt and raise my anxiety.

6. Trick-or-treating was always awkward to me.

I never like talking to strangers let alone going up to their front door asking for candy.

7. Halloween breeds pranks

This holiday used to be a simple holiday for families to go trick-or-treating, now it is a reckless holiday filled with illegal activity and pranks.

While I love seeing the little kids in their cute little costumes, I still do not like Halloween!

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.
