5 Reasons Why You Should Scare In a Haunted House

Hobby Lobby has put out their fall decorations which means I can start talking about my favorite season - FALL!


Traditionally in Fall, humans like to pick pumpkins, wear boots, drink Starbucks and travel to big scary houses only to get the sh*t scared out of them with their friends. I personally love to do all of those things every other time of the year, but I guess it is only "normal" to do it in Fall. There are a few haunted houses throughout Minnesota, but there are only a few that are my favorites. My family owns Paul Bunyan Land up in Brainerd, MN and they have a haunted house every year. I have haunted and been haunted at that house and let me tell you, it is so much more fun to scare!

I want to give you 5 reasons on why you should try scaring in a haunted house at least once.


1. You Get To Dress Up

Who doesn't love Halloween, let's be real. Who wouldn't love getting all decked out in a scary costume, with a big bloody mess all over your face? Okay probably not everyone, but for those of you that would like it, it's so worth the screams.


2. You Get To Experience The House From The Inside

Haunted Houses are always a huge attraction, but when you see it from the opposite side, your entire experience is so much more fun. Not going to lie, haunted houses are still just as scary when you're walking to your spot. The other members on the scare team typically don't treat you any differently than the customers even if the house isn't quite open yet. It's good to know the inside and outside though, because then you can find the best scare spots.


3. The Money

So, did I mention that most the time you scare at haunted houses, you get paid? Who doesn't want a few extra bucks for scaring people?

4. The Stories and Memories

I can't tell you how many times my family and I have sat around talking about the haunted house and all the people we have scared. The amount of funny stories you create are endless. There is never a dull moment or boring time when you're a part of a scare team. Also, you can bring this up at any time. Like birthday parties, work meetings, even funerals! Just kidding, don't do that.


5. The Scares - Duh!

I'm sure at one point in your life you have scared someone so badly that one of you peed your pants. That's exactly what you get to do on a scare team, but more than once a night. If you think you can't scare someone that's double your height and almost double your weight, check again. Everyone is a victim here. Sometimes, women are forced to go through first because the men aren't so "manly" anymore.



I hope I've given you some inspiration to want to go scare the sh*t out of people, for fun, more than once.

Happy Haunting!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
