This is it! Halloween is right around the corner. It’s time to throw in some spooky plans for the most chilling and memorable night of the year. Being in college means that you have all the freedom in the world to be creative of how you want to celebrate Halloween (but safety first!). So here are fun and easy-to-do Halloween ideas for college students:
Horror movies marathon
Always a classic! To name just some of the movies: Hocus Pocus, The Addams Family, The Nightmare before Christmas, The Exorcist, The Nun, The Conjuring, IT (just typing them gives me chills). Grab some popcorn, pull in some sofas, take some friends with you (unless you’re feeling brave), and sit down and enjoy your scary movie night.
Local pumpkin patch trip
Sometimes it’s actually more expensive to get the pumpkins from the pumpkin patch. But you’ll be able to choose your own pumpkin to decorate it into a lack-o-lantern however you like, and have fun doing that with friends – all in the name of the festive day!
Haunted house
Unless you’re terrified of ghost and scary creatures like me or have any medical issues that prevent you, definitely try out those haunted houses. They may be scary and makes you want to have a heart attack, but it’ll become something memorable in the future for you to look back and say, “I had a good time in college.” For students in Utica College, try Cayo!
Dress up in your Halloween costumes…and hit the classroom
Because why not? Halloween this year is a Wednesday and sadly, it’s a school day. So you might as well incorporate the 2 things together to make the most out of your not-so-regular day. It’ll make you feel the vibe of the holiday while still getting to class on time!
Trick or treat in your residence halls
It’s more fun to do it with friends, and especially with costumes. Try knocking on your friends’ doors and ask them for a treat, or you can walk around your residence halls and do the same with everyone whom you feel like teasing a little bit for Halloween.
Hold a scary story-telling competition
Have some friends over and sit in a circle; turn off the light, only leave a dim and spooky light on to get you into the mood.
Do something spooky at midnight. IF YOU DARE!
If you’re really up for it big time, there’re many urban legends you can try out during midnight to test if the myth is true. For example, try Bloody Mary myth in front of the bathroom’s mirror. All you gotta do is Google some of them and test them out.
Above are some fun ways for you to celebrate your Halloween day but if you prefer to stay indoor and do nothing but Netflix and chill? That’s also cool too! Have a spooktacular Halloween, everyone!
