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!

DIY Halloween Costumes

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!

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.
