21 Things To Do In October For The Girl Who Doesn't Like Halloween

I get it, Halloween is fun. It's probably the only day of the year when it is not only acceptable but expected, to dress up in a ridiculous costume and eat candy all night long. I really don't have anything personal against Halloween, I've just never been the biggest fan of it.

BUT that doesn't mean I don't still love fall and October and all of the wonderful things it has to offer. I've listed here some things that you can do this October that don't involve any spooks or scares!

Dress up in your coziest fall clothes.

Even though it's probably still 85 degrees outside.

Just go ahead and start listening to Christmas music now.

Tbh I don't normally support premature Christmas jams, but it's not like there's any good Halloween music out there.

Go to the movies... and not watch a scary movie.

Yes, they do in fact exist.

Visit a pumpkin patch.

At the very least, get a pic for the Insta.

Drink a pumpkin spice latte.

Like literally just sit in a coffee shop and appreciate the fact that fall is finally here.

Extra points if you're by a window and can watch the leaves fall while listening to folk music.

Bake something yummy.

Burn one of your Bath and Body Works candles while you're at it for extra yummy smells!

Watch playoff baseball.

Watch Halloweentown (AKA the only Halloween movie you'll ever get me to watch).

 Smell every fall-scented candle at Bath and Body Works.

Instagram

Find a fair or fall festival near you.

Think corn dogs and ferris wheels. The more fried food, the better!

Use the money you aren't spending on Halloween costumes to buy more pumpkins.

Have a (non-scary) movie marathon at home!

Harry Potter, Back to the Future, Twilight, the possibilities are endless! Grab your coziest blankets and your best friends and get ready for a fall day well spent.

Go to a corn maze.

A not scary one, of course.

 Stock up on Halloween candy for yourself.

 Go to a Farmer's market.

Instagram

This is a great thing to do more often than just October, but it's a proven fact that everything is just more exciting when pumpkins are involved.

 Watch Friday Night Lights.

The show, the movie, or an actual Friday night football game. Any and all are acceptable.

 Go thrift shopping to add to your fall sweater collection.

Or just raid your grandpa's closet.

 Make one of those cute autumn wreaths for your front door.

Instagram

Or another fun craft to show just how much you love fall.

 Skip out on the Halloween parties and drink more pumpkin spice lattes instead.

 Enjoy October for what it is - truly one of the best times of the year.

If you are one of those people who considers Halloween a part of "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year," I hope you don't take this article personally. Maybe you never realized how truly versatile this time of year is!

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.
