Halloween doesn't have to be about partying. Here are some ideas to fill your spooky season.

1. Bake some Halloween treats for your neighbors or roommates , or heck, even yourself.

Baking is always a fun activity to do and it's even better when you can create sweet treats that will get you into the Halloween spirit. Put on your favorite mix of spooky music, I suggest the Haunted Mansion queue music, and bake some ghost cake pops, Frankenstein cupcakes, or some mummies in a blanket (instead of pigs in a blanket) and celebrate spooky season. You might even feel brave enough to attempt making your own homemade version of the famous pumpkin spice latte! After your done baking, share the spread of treats you made with roommates or neighbors, I'm sure they will be thankful that you did.

2. Have a Halloween movie marathon.

Halloween movies are always great. Plus, they get you in a spooky mood. There are so many to choose from, from "Twitches" to the ever-famous "Hocus Pocus," there's bound to be something that you'll enjoy. Pop in a spooky movie, grab some popcorn and candy (of course) and celebrate Halloween! Not only is there a bunch of movies to choose from so you can literally have a Halloween movie marathon. This is a great thing to do with friends or even by yourself. If you don't enjoy the Halloween party scene, this activity is for you.

3. Hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters.

Handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters is always a good idea, especially if, like me, you don't have any plans this Halloween. You'll be able to enjoy Halloween, get in the Halloween spirit, and you just might be able to snag a couple pieces of candy for yourself. Not to mention, who doesn't love seeing all of the little kids in your neighborhood dress up in costume each year? I personally love seeing all of the little pirates, princesses, ghosts, and goblins trick-or-treat each year. Plus, little kids dressed up in costumes equals a cuteness overload. Am I right or am I wrong?

4. Become a scare actor in your local haunted house.

Who hasn't thought about what it would be like to be a scare actor at least once in their life? I know I have. Even if you don't enjoy being scared or even watching scary movies like me, being a scare actor in a haunted house is pretty cool, in my opinion. Not only do you get the opportunity to witness the inner workings and behind the scenes operations of a haunted house, but you also get to wear tons of cool, spooky special effects makeup and you get to be a part of something that will surely be an experience you will never forget. It may even turn out to be your best Halloween yet.

Overall, don't worry if you don't have plans for Halloween, because I can guarantee you that if you end up following one of my suggestions, you will probably end up having a great Halloween night.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
