Fall is currently in full swing and Halloween is quickly approaching (we’re totally counting down the days)!
But while some scream for haunted houses and terrifying movies, others cannot handle the scares that come with the holiday. Here are our favorite ways to get into the Halloween spirit when you’re scared of being spooked!
1. Pumpkin Carving
Is there anything more classic? Grab a couple friends and get your DIY on! Whether you want to carve a jack-o-lantern, or paint a funny face, pumpkin decorating is a great fall activity! Check to see if your dorm has a pumpkin program one night, or head to a local pumpkin patch to pick some up yourself. Plus, the pumpkins will look super cute as a decoration outside your dorm!
2. Decorate Your Dorm
It’s easy to get in the spirit when you’re surrounded by super cute décor. Cover your dorm in pumpkins and cobwebs, and use colors, like orange, black, and purple to give it that ~Halloween vibe~! Try decorating your door so everyone in your hall can see how spirited you are!
3. Watch Movies
Some scary movies can be a little too, well, scary. So, try some more lowkey movies, like Halloweentown or Hocus Pocus! Not only are they classics, but they’re total TBTs! Grab some friends, make some popcorn, and have a not-so-scary movie marathon!
4. DIY Snacks
Who doesn’t love a treat on Halloween? Make some adorable snacks for you and your friends to devour in seconds. Definitely check out your dorm’s kitchen, or if you have your own townhouse, even better! Try some of these yummy and festive treats!
5. Hayride
Head to a nearby farm with your roomies for the perfect activity on a gorgeous fall afternoon. You can even pick out apples and pumpkins to bring back to campus. Not only is it fun, but you can totally have a fall-themed photoshoot (hello, cute Insta anyone?!).
6. Dress Up and Go Out
Halloweekend is a total college tradition. Getting all dressed up and heading up to the townhouses is a great way to spend your weekend – just be safe! Try out some trendy makeup looks or adorable group costumes this year! Be sure to tag #hcfuboo in your Insta posts to enter our costume competition!
7. Candy Coma
Go back to your child-like ways and pig out on your favorite candy with your friends. Fill some cute containers with candy of your choosing for your friends to come by and snack on (or keep it for yourself!). It’s like trick-or-treating all over again!
Happy Halloween, Stags!
