Seven Things Scarier Than Halloween

Aside from haunted houses and horror movies, here are some basic everyday things to scare you as well.

I can't believe this year has gone by as fast as it has. Here we are now, about a week away from Halloween! I think Halloween is a pretty cool holiday even if I might not always have a way of celebrating. I love horror movies and anything that falls in line with creepy or scary. Although these ten things I'm about to list are year round--and are a lot scarier than any Halloween movie, decoration or haunted house.

1. Student Loans

I'm sure anyone currently in school can empathize so hard with me on this. It's almost mandatory to get a college education to get where we want to in life but it's so darn expensive. Looking at that website and checking how much I owe just from two years is enough to scare my pants off.


2. Hillary Clinton possibly becoming president

I'm not gonna jump into a whole big political debate. She's evil and doesn't even need a mask. 'Nuf said.


3. Winter is coming

Don't get me wrong, snow is beautiful. I love watching it fall and waking up to white trees and a sparkly white ground. What I do not like is driving in it. Unfortunately we aren't in high school anymore and not everything closes every time someone spots a snowflake. I had a car accident from the snow a couple winters ago because John Tyler Community College didn't close until it was too late (No, I will never let that go!). Bills to fix my car? Terrifying!


4. Christmas present debt

I love Christmas! I also love buying presents that I have planned all year and seeing my loved one's surprised faces. Unfortunately my credit cards do not like Christmas. Hopefully the thought will really count this year when I don't spend as much!


5. WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT SEASON OF STRANGER THINGS!

Yes, I'm still obsessing over this! This show is amazing and I don't think they exact day has been announced for the next season, but I do know it won't be until next year. The thought of waiting that long to see more of this phenomenal show scares me more than any clown with a chainsaw could.


6. Calories

I'm sure anyone who loves food as much as I do understood that when they first read it. Some of the best food has so many calories. It's one of life's biggest struggles to choose between food that embraces your soul and fills the void from being bullied in middle school or having the body of the girl who actually did the bullying. Food is good. Calories are scary.



7. The unstoppable marching of time is slowly guiding us all towards an inevitable end

Did you think this was going to be a list of totally normal and commonly disguised complaints? Of course not! In the spirit of Halloween I hope this freaked you out a little. My last few articles have been very sappy and I had to throw my weirdness in there somehow. Happy internet-ting and have a safe Halloween!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
