6 Things You Shouldn't Do In A Haunted House
Gianna Zulli and Rob Sieger

I have worked in the haunt industry for six years as an actor. And although I have seen my fair share of terrible patrons, there are 10 definite things that tick off every actor. So this Halloween season, please make sure not to do these things, and do not be "that customer".

1. Don't have your phone out.

Every haunted attraction has the no cellphone rule. If you have your phone out recording the entire attraction, you're ruining the experience for the rest of the patrons in your group. The flash is also very blinding to the actors. Since our eyes have been adjusted to work in the dark, that quick flash can temporarily blind us, causing us to possibly injure ourselves. We also don't want to take selfies with you inside the attraction.

2. Don't wear flipflops.

If the back of your shoe gets stepped on, you might fall or break your shoe. The attraction might also may be muddy, causing you to fall or get stuck.

3. Don't backtalk the actors.

You may think it's funny, but you're making yourself look like an asshole in front of a lot of people. Usually, the actors have comebacks that will set you straight, and you will look like a complete idiot in front of everyone.

4. Don't hit or touch the actors.

At some haunted attractions, actors may be allowed to touch you. But please do not touch or hit tus back. We will identify you, you will be kicked out, you will not get a refund, and charges can be pressed in some cases.

5. Do not smoke in the attractions.

Smoking creates a fire hazard, especially if you are on a hayride since the hay can catch fire very easily. You could also potentially burn fellow patrons or employees.

6. Do not drink in the attraction or come completely wasted.

You will disrupt fellow patrons, employees, and ruin the experience for others. Don't be that person.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
