This year, the month of October is looking a little different, especially for Floridians like myself. There won't be Halloween Horror Nights at Universal, Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Disney, trick or treating, haunted cornfields, and all the fun activities that usually come along with the month of Halloween.

However, it doesn't mean you can't still celebrate! Here are some easy and safe ways to get in the spooky spirit during a pandemic:

1. Have a Halloween movie night.

This is something you can do at home without having to be around people. Or have a few people over for it but stay socially distanced.

2. Carve pumpkins.

A fun activity that will definitely get you in a spooky mood.

3. Go to a drive-through haunted house.

These are a new thing, but they still let you enjoy a common activity during October while keeping everyone safe.

4. Host a virtual costume party.

Have fun getting dressed up with your friends while still staying home and not breaking any of the social distancing guidelines.

5. Bake Halloween cookies.

Make a fun treat and have a snack for your movie night.

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.

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.
