What's Halloween and fall without a pumpkin? The first step in making October feel like October is finding your local pumpkin patch and picking out your favorite one. You could even go to your local grocery store and pick from their many choices. Get to carving!

Bake Pillsbury Halloween Cookies

We all love cookies, right? Well how about spooky cookies? Most grocery stores sell these Pillsbury cookies that just need to be put in the oven. A nice, sugary treat with Halloween decor on top.

Watch the Classic Disney Halloween Movies

I'm not sure if it is nostalgia or what but during this time I always love to watch the Halloween Disney classics. Bringing back "Halloweentown" and "Hocus Pocus" always puts me in the mood for the season. Grab your close friends and get to reminiscing!

Visit Jerome, Arizona

Jerome, Arizona has become one of the largest known ghost towns. I mean literally... a ghost town. A town that thrived during the copper mining era, now welcomes tourism and encourages tourists to go ghost hunting. And also stay at the haunted hotel that was once a hospital. Can you say spooky?

Visit the Arizona State Fair

The Arizona State Fair has just recently opened and will officially close on October 28th. This fair is full of thrilling rides and famous performers. What better way to scream with excitement and enjoy the fresh air? Grab your friends and get down to the fair!

Eat Candy

Candy. Halloween IS candy. It is your one excuse to stuff your face with all of your sugary favorites. It is not Halloween without it. Chocolate, gummies, lollipops, you name it! And hey... you're never 'too old' to go trick or treating... well... maybe once you're old enough to drive a car. So, instead, go drive to the store and buy your candy!

If you're like me and don't want to spend all of your money on Halloween costumes, I say make them yourself. It can be fun to look on Pinterest and see what fun ideas you can come up with. Goodwill is always a great place to find pieces for your costumes and you can even look in your own wardrobe. I'm sure you have something! Get your vampire on!

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1077

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

I get it... I'm pale.
