10 Ways To Spend Halloweekend That Don't Include Getting Drunk

Getting drunk is so not for everyone; it's definitely not for me! But sometimes in college people overlook that. So here's a list of ten ways to spend your Halloween weekend without getting wasted.

1. Spooky movie night

Invite your friends over, wear comfy clothes, eat popcorn and candy, and watch some of your favorite spooky movies! Dare I suggest a Halloweentown movie marathon?!

2. Pumpkin patch

Nothing screams fall and Halloween like hitting up the local pumpkin patch and picking out the best and cutest pumpkins for yourself! Don't forget to do the essentials — wear a sweater, take a picture, and buy something apple.

3. Farmer's market

Maybe you have easier access to a farmer's market than you do a pumpkin patch and can find a pumpkin there to get you ready for the weekend!

4. Carve pumpkins.

No matter how you've acquired your pumpkins, once you have them, you have got to carve them!

5. Pumpkinhead

And maybe even wear them on your head?

6. Haunted house

Maybe you're not into being scared, but a haunted house is a great way to get into the Halloween mood!

7. Fall baking

Pumpkin bars/pies/cookies, apple pies; let's make fall explode in our mouths!!!

8. Dress up yourself and your pet

The best way to spend Halloween is to put a cute costume on your pet and then throw something totally random that requires mass amounts of explanation for yourself.

9. Pass out candy

If you are going to have Trick or Treaters, wait for them with good candy!!! It is so cute and fun getting to see all of the kids dressed up!

10. FEAST

Once Halloween wraps up Sunday night, feel free to treat yourself to some of that fall baking you did or your leftover candy — you deserve it!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
