I’m in university. I’m working 3 jobs. I’m involved in extracurriculars. I’m working on a side hustle.
I DO NOT have time for multiple weekends of partying and #spookyszn festivities.
I DO want to make time to include short and meaningful Halloween-related activities into my week to feel festive and accomplished, and to avoid overwhelm and FOMO.
Here are some things I plan on doing to make my Halloween week a little more spooky, and still as productive as I need it to be:
- Watch a Halloween movie while eating dinner
-
(eating and studying should never be mixed, take an earned break while you cook and munch!)
- Put spooky cookies in the oven to bake while you study
-
(we love a spooky study snack with minimal effort!)
- Choose one evening to go out and partake in the festivities
-
(because who has time to go out two weekends in a row??)
- Hit up multiple parties/activities on your chosen evening
-
(re: killing many birds with one stone, seeing many friends in one night)
- Listen to Halloween music while you clean (face it, nothing is scarier than the state of your bathroom right now)
-

- Decorate your screensaver, not your house (faster, cleaner, more efficient, easier transition into Christmas!)

- Re-use a costume from a previous year, but make it “undead” (last year’s pirate is this year’s undead pirate, matey!)

- Have a midterm in your night class on October 31st

(thanks professor, this midterm is the spookiest part of my Halloween season this year)
