Fun Things To Do For Halloween

Halloween is coming up, people. It's next Monday, which means this weekend is: yes, you guessed it; Halloweekend. And while Halloween is actually only on one day, it is celebrated the entire weekend (and sometimes even the entire weekend before too). You don't just have to go Trick or Treating in order to celebrate Halloween; there are plenty of options:

Watch Halloween-themed movies

Halloween (as well as the weekend before) is a great time to watch Halloween movies. I, personally, get too scared with really scary movies (no joke-I'm 21 years old but I'll have nightmares for weeks), but I do love to watch the classic not-too-scary Halloween-themed movies (like Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown).

Pass out (and eat) candy


Just because you're too old to go out and ask strangers for candy doesn't mean it isn't fun to pass out candy in the comfort of your own home. You can sit on the couch all night (watching the halloween-themed movies), and have a perfect excuse to eat all the extra candy when you only have four trick-or-treaters. And the best part is, you get to see all of the cute kids in their costumes.

Dress up with your significant other or your friends


There is nothing more fun on Halloween (except for the staying home and eating candy thing) than to coordinate a costume with your friend or your significant other (even if you decide last minute what you're going to be). Just imagine how cute your instagram posts from the night will be.

Throw a Halloween Party

Yea, sure, you can show off your costume at a bar, but what's even more fun is throwing your own party that you can invite all your friends to. You don't have to deal with cover charges, strangers, or going out in the cold while you go from bar to bar. Plus, you get to decorate and buy halloween-themed treats and drinks!

Carve pumpkins



What is a better time to carve pumpkins than the weekend before Halloween? The answer is: there's no better time. Carve a bunch of different designs that you can put on your front porch to look festive for Halloween night!

Go trick-or-treating (with kids)

Yes you're too old to go trick-or-treating (I promise, you can't get away with it). But if you have nieces and nephews, or even little cousins, you can get away with going along for the walk, seeing them in their costumes, and maybe tricking them into giving you some of their candy afterwards.

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.
