10 Random Ways To Have Fun This Spooky Season Without Being Basic

4. Hide in a corn maze and scare other people.

Fall can be a wonderful time of the year if you try to enjoy the season for what it can truly be. With all those warm colors, crunchy leaves, pumpkin spiced everything, and spooky scary skeletons, fall is a season like no other. I am going to offer you a list of new ideas you can try in a completely non-sarcastic way.

1. Decorate someone else's place as a haunted house.

You should most likely ask for permission if they are complete strangers to you. Another option is to ask a relative or a close friend if you can go and decorate for them. Bring out those cobwebs and creepy witch brooms and start decorating.

2. Carve some pumpkins and leave them on random porches. 

Giphy

You can make them look super scary or super artsy, but just make sure you give them to other people. They will probably enjoy the gift more than you anyway as long as you make it totally appropriate for all crowds.

3. Take a pile of leaves and organize them by color. 

Giphy

This may sound tedious and completely pointless, but at least it will give you something to do. Once they are separated, go ahead and jump in the new piles. Make sure you get a picture of your outcome too because that is a major success.

4. Hide in a corn maze and scare other people.

It may take a long time for someone to actually walk by, but when they do it will be totally worth it to see the look on their faces when you freak them out. Bonus points if they scream at you.

5. Whip out your famous veggie tray instead of offering candy. 

Giphy

Nothing like some good ole healthy options on Halloween. You could also substitute the vegetables for something else such as fruit if you prefer. The sky is your limit, so just go wild this spooky season.

6. Leave a note on your porch saying "take one" but have no bowl out. 

Giphy

Everyone loves a good holiday prankster. Make the sign super aesthetic and elaborate as well as big enough for people to read to want to come up to your porch. Once they get there, they will be super disappointed which could be a lot of fun.

7. Watch a horror movie first thing in the morning just to traumatize the rest of your day. 

Giphy

Start with something extremely violent and terrifying. If it can create daymares, then it is completely the right option.

8. Wear a sheet over your head for an entire day and pretend to be a ghost. 

Giphy

Just make sure you have a couple eyeholes to be able to see where you are going. This could either be a really good idea or a potentially dangerous one, so just make sure you freak people out while you can.

9. Pick a random day to give out "Best Costume" certificates to your friends. 

Giphy

Make sure it is a completely regular day where no one is wearing any sort of costumes. Pass out different certificates such as "Most Boring" or "Scariest". If none of your friends know it is coming, it will be even funnier for you.

10. Wear a costume to a costume store.

Giphy

Make sure to pretend to be deep in thought while staring at the shelves. Also make sure to wear your most obnoxious costume you own because why not be super tacky all the time.

Halloween may be just around the corner, but the fall season is just getting started. Make this spooky season one to remember full of laughter and good times.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
