It has been a long time since college students worried about witches, goblins and vampires. Here is a list of nine things students would be terrified of if college were just one big haunted house.

1. The Freshman Fifteen

The freshman fifteen is a monster that is alive and real. It will find and catch you if you don't stop making your go-to snack candy corn ASAP.

2. Due-Dates for Online Assignments

You will find nothing more scared or feared than Blackboard submission deadlines. Just thinking about accidentally missing an 11:59 p.m. due date is enough to strike terror into the hearts of college students across America. You may find yourself wanting to double check your Blackboard assignments even now as you read this.

3. 8:30 a.m. Classes

What's that sneaking up behind you? The 8:30 a.m. class you have in three hours? You know you are in college when the sight of the sun rising makes you nauseous with fear.

4. Laundry Day

The washers are gross and the laundry room is just flat-out creepy. However, the biggest horror is trying to get all of your clean clothes back up to your room without wrinkling them.

5. Junk Food

You may not have been the healthiest eater before you came to college, but now that you're here, you can't seem to escape the massive waves of junk food being offered to you from all directions.

6. Failed Exams

This fear is just too real. You are going to have nightmares about looming test deadlines, terrified of the F's and D's that may be waiting just around the corner, waiting to murder your GPA.

7. "Insufficient Funds"

The fear of opening up your bank account and seeing a balance of "0.00" has got you begging your friends and family to send you "treats" this Halloween (cash only please!).

8. Finals Week

One of the deepest, darkest thoughts that haunt your brain; the closer we get to Halloween, the closer we get to finals week. The end of the semester will be here before we know it. Are you ready?

9. The Future

The most horrifying thing of all, however, is picturing the massive void beyond college, known as adulthood. Like finals week, adulthood is a monster that is going to catch up with you before you know it. So enjoy college and all its monsters by going out and having a great Halloweek!
